For Starting Beef Cattle
Give calves an early boost with our first-rate cattle starter.
Creep Feed Bucket & Slow Calves
Rapid Start is a loose supplement, which may be top-dressed or mixed into a complete ration. Its good smell and taste will help get calves up to the feed bunk and keep them from going off feed. Rapid Start contains high levels of Vitamins A, D & E. It also contains B Vitamins, which are normally produced in the rumen except during times of stress. In addition, Rapid Start contains potassium, which is important in helping calves overcome stress.
Rapid Start products contain live yeast culture, Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria, B. Subtilis, and A. Oryzae enzymes and fermentation solubles. The purpose of these inoculants is to get the rumen bacteria going strong so that the calf's rumen is functioning and getting the maximum amount of nutrients to the calf as he adjusts to a new ration. Rapid Start is also fortified with METAL AMINO ACID CHELATES for greater mineral absorption and healthier animals from the start.

Sick Pens - Rapid Start can be utilized in feedlot sick pens or any situation where an animal is receiving antibiotics. Any drug that kills the "bad bugs" is probably also harming the "good bugs" in the rumen. Rapid Start nourishes the rumen bacteria to maintain its population, helping the sick animal recover faster. |
