[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 637771, member: 4362"] I don't know much about it. Guy showed it to us last night. It appears to be a powdered dose of probiotics of some sort that helps the cow with its digestion. You can mix it with feed or with mineral. Ideally each cow is supposed to get 0.1 lb per day. The little experiment the guy did for us was to fill cups of oatmeal with water and water and the additive. By the end of the meeting the oatmeal with the stuff in it looked like milk and the test looked like swollen oatmeal. According to them and a few of the local people who use this in their stocker operations say that this will reduce the heat generated by a cows digestion and make them go back to feed about 1 1/2 hours sooner than those that do not. Gains are consistently 1/2 lb per day better than those not treated. Also, several people said they felt it shortened the time it took to straighten out a sale barn calf. Two people also said they saw good results using it in summer stockering as the cow is not as hot. Sounded interesting anyway. I was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with it. [/QUOTE]
