Protein lick tubs for cattle

Molasses provides readily-available energy to stimulate rumen fermentation that helps the animal extract more energy from the forage, as demonstrated by research showing increased forage intake and utilization. Non-returnable containers provide a labor saving supplement delivery system that helps reduce the biosecurity risks associated with returnable containers. Intake is not regulated by salt as in other supplements, which can be unpredictable and more variable. Convenient supplement delivery system is ideal for small beef producers with other time commitments, as well as large producers who experience time and labor shortages.

NPN supplies a source of nitrogen so that the rumen microbes can make their own protein. For them to make their own protein cows need nitrogen supplied by NPN and a carbon chain to make the protein. The carbon chain comes from energy that the cattle eat, in this case some grain, husk, and leaves. The key for microbes is that the nitrogen source is available at the same time as the energy source.

Daily intake will vary depending on forage quality and nutritional needs. SweetPro blocks support calving and clean-up. Stronger calves pay bigger dividends.
