Customer Testimonials

“It puts a great shine and glow on them for maximum performance.”

“We use Supreme Finisher prior to the shows to get maximum performance out of the cattle.

It puts a great shine and a glow on them, and the hair quality is excellent. Since starting to use the Natural Stockcare products, we’ve noticed a definite difference—the animals look healthy, happy, and glowing.”

“Using At Birth Tubes for the past two years has been a great success for our farm. Regardless of a calf’s value, they all receive the same treatment and it’s worth it to avoid the cost and time of caring for a sick calf. We’ve noticed that once they received their At Birth tube and colostrum they seem to thrive and are better equipped to fight infections.It’s also great to get the calves up and moving quickly. The result is a healthier and more robust herd, and we highly recommend At Birth Tubes to any farmer looking to give their calves the best start in life.”

“We’ve been using Twin Plus and Cobalt B12 on our farm for almost 15 years, and we’ve seen a significant increase in our lambs weaned each year. Twin Plus has been especially effective in bringing up the body condition of our ewes before breeding, resulting in a higher number of healthy lambs at birth. We give all our lambs Cobalt B12 to ensure they thrive a few weeks after birth. These products have been a vital part of our farm’s success, and we highly recommend them to any farmer looking to increase their lambing percentage and the health of their flock.”

Technical Information

Livestock health and productivity are central concerns for farmers, breeders, and show competitors alike. Their approach lies in effective nutritional strategies, catering to the specific needs of the animals. These strategies are critical to supplementing crucial nutrients, including Selenium, Vitamin E, Lysine, and Methionine, essential in livestock development and preparation for shows and sales.

The Pivotal Role of Selenium and Vitamin E

Selenium and Vitamin E are indispensable in livestock nutrition. They serve as potent antioxidants, vital for protecting against oxidative damage. In addition, they play a significant role in maintaining optimal immune function and preserving muscle tissue, which is crucial for livestock’s overall health and well-being (Surai, 2006). Particularly during high-performance periods like pre-slaughter finishing or show preparations, these antioxidants mitigate the impact of physiological stress. Animals deficient in Selenium may suffer from muscular weaknesses or white muscle disease, affecting their overall appearance and mobility (Suttle, 2010). Similarly, Vitamin E deficiency can result in reduced growth rates, compromised immune response, and poor reproductive performance (Spears, 2000). It’s thus critical to ensure optimal levels of these nutrients in animals preparing for shows or sales.

The Promise of Lysine and Methionine

Lysine and Methionine, two essential amino acids, are critical for protein synthesis, influencing livestock growth, metabolism, and muscle development. Regrettably, these amino acids are often insufficient in standard livestock diets, potentially undermining the animals’ performance (Lobley et al., 2000). Conversely, dietary supplementation with these amino acids supports robust growth, metabolism and muscle development in livestock, priming them for peak performance in shows or sales (Kumar et al., 2019).

Deficiencies in these amino acids can lead to reduced growth rates, poor feed efficiency, and diminished animal performance. Insufficient dietary Lysine, for instance, can affect an animal’s physical condition, negatively impacting its performance and value. Likewise, methionine deficiency can result in reduced growth rates, poor wool or hair coat disease, and impaired immune function, negatively impacting an animal’s appearance and health status.

Benefits for Cattle and Sheep

Supplementation with Selenium, Vitamin E, Lysine, and Methionine significantly benefits cattle and sheep. It enhances muscle growth and overall body condition for cattle, which is vital when preparing these animals for shows or sales. Additionally, it supports colostrum quality, ensuring calves’ health and robust growth, an essential aspect of maintaining a high-quality herd (Chen et al., 2016). For sheep, it aids in the growth and finishing of lambs, bolstering muscle development and weight gain. In addition, it plays a significant part in preparing animals for shows and enhancing meat quality at slaughter, contributing to a well-rounded, profitable flock.

In conclusion, ensuring a balanced and complete diet for animals being prepared for shows or sales is of utmost importance. Furthermore, regular supplementation, especially in the face of imbalances or deficiencies, can support animals’ health and well-being, leading to better performance and higher value during shows and sales.
