[QUOTE="Amo, post: 1648307, member: 14857"] You did excellent! I agree, biomoss is more a spring type of product. The other products that's had a "rumen pack" that weren't the rio product are a mineral. The main ingredient in that pack is amaferm. I'm fimilar with the product and if I was adding fairy dust I'd prefer amaferm over biomoss/actigen. As far as Rio, I was talking to a local feed store who started (and has since quit) selling rio. He tried to push the rumen pack as I call it. Which I think amaferm kinda does what it claims. I just said for the expense I can feed extra protein and if I got a little energy (corn) to offset what the urea burns up it accomplishes the same thing. Just ford vs Chevy. I probably used the term fiber digestion incorrectly. I'm going to cornstalks with spring pairs. Yes, I'll probably feed some creep. Fiber digestion/feed conversion....at the end of the day I'm going to have low quality feed and wanting to get as much gain on the calves and body condition on the cows as I can. I know ideally I'd wean and just run the cows. I got more acres than cows, and want to get the stalks used in case they get snowed under permanently. Trying to keep this short, figured I'd better have some tubs out. Weather it's better intake which increases gains or breaks it down so they get more out of it......I guess it's increased performance. I have a friend who mixed actigen in the meal form in with his mineral and fed it last fall. He did it for reasons other than feed conversion/gain. He was impressed with how they looked. He's pretty picky and cheap. Guess I'm like you, and question it for feed conversion/gain. Yes those other products talk about amaferm, but (rio...guess I'm not sure) also talk about feeding the rumen bugs with yeast. Which more bugs in the rumen, it should help to digest it was what I was wondering about. [/QUOTE]
