What this Means for Producers

Key Supplemental Nutrition:

Low moisture tubs allow mixing of dry ingredients with dehydrated molasses to create a highly palatable supplement that can cover your herds many needs:

• Protein, Vitamin, Mineral

• Additonal additives for targeted performance improvements

Improved Forage Utilization (more energy from your forages) :

With self fed MLS tubs, continual access to small incremental amounts of protein will increase forage utilization by:

• Improved ruminal fiber fermentation provides increased nutrient supplies by releasing more energy from forages

• Speeds up fiber digestion and rate of passage allowing for increased forage intake and greater nutrient supplies from higher consumption

• Allows for extracting more nutrition from lower quality forage supplies

Consistent Consumption:

• Producers can count on every animal regularly consuming neccesary and desired nutrients being supplemented

• Regardless of weather conditions, time a producer has to feed or events in the production cycle such as calving, working or weaning; cattle will always be getting needed supplement

• This allows for producers to know how long supplement will last and will also help to provide producers with accurate supplement costs when looking ahead at the intake for the upcoming season

Grazing Management Tool:

When trying to extract maximum nutrition out of your forage base MLS Tubs can help manage your pastures by placing tubs in areas that you want your cattle to graze. With highly palatable MLS Tubs cattle will mitigate to areas where tubs are located. Strategically placing tubs in locations your cattle don’t normally graze can get them to utilize a larger area within a pasture so no forage is wasted.

NO Water, NO Fillers, NO Waste:

Low moisture tubs mix dry ingredient with molasses ingredients and are then dehydrated.The cooking process yields a low consumption, nutrient dense product. This also creates a highly weatherproof supplement delivery system.

• Producers don’t have to worry about damage or lost supplement due to rain, snow, mud, wind or other enviromental conditions

• Even when supplement gets wet you don’t risk damaging the integrity or quality of the supplement

Available All Day, Every Day, To Every Animal :

Low moisture tubs are a huge advantage by having continuous availability 24/7.

• Every animal in your herd has access to get supplementation with a self fed offering, opposed to fighting over dry feed when the feed truck comes

• Unrestricted availability also allows animals that may have higher nutritional needs like timid, sick, younger, or sometimes older cows to always have access to supplementation

• With continuous availabilty this allows you to better manage through inclement weather events that make it difficult to access pastures in a timely manner

Low Input, Maximum Benefit :

Low input is a proactive way to help avoid any sort of nutrtional “catch up” that may be required if your forage base runs short on nutrients during the grazing period. The first little bit of supplement will make the biggest difference!

• With forages varying throughout the grazing season MLS tubs will help extract as much energy and nutrients from your forage base as possible

Low Cost Per Head Per Day:

MLS low moisture tubs can only be consumed by licking and this physical form of delivery maintains a low consistent intake that can be easily managed by the number & location of tubs provided in a pasture.

• A guarantee of low, steady intake will ensure you a predictable low cost per day

• It is easy to budget supplement costs by determining the number of animals you feed, how long you will supplement and multiply by estimated daily intake which can help you manage input costs

Uniform Consumption:

Uniform and consistent intake allows producers to predictably achieve targeted consumption and improved cattle performance.

• Every animal, every lick, every day helps deliver the same amount of supplement to meet daily requirements across your entire herd

• Uniform consumption provides accurate delivery of feed additives that help enhance fiber digestion, fly control, improve gut health or proper immune function in stressed cattle

The Power of Palatability:

Highly palatable MLS Tubs allow cattle to consistently seek out and consume tubs so they can access proper amounts of nutrition from specifically formulated supplements.

• Key additives and supplemental nutrition are great for enhancing cattle peformance but only if cattle will consume them in the right amounts. Combining key performance additives into MLS tubs achieves the expected delivery and performance benefits for producers.

Reduced Labor & Time Spent Feeding:

Low moisture tubs save you trips to the pasture, manpower to feed and precious time

• Self fed supplements require fewer trips for delivery and therefore decrease the need for additional time, labor and fuel required by hand-fed supplements.

• MLS tubs only need to be delivered to the pastures ranging from every 10 to 20 days, with no need of additional feeding equipment and minimal storage facilities. It’s all contained in one tub.
