SweetPro products feature fermentation feed ingredients, rich in yeast and enzymes. Our patented products are higher in protein and fat than molasses lick blocks, to help you boost profits through improved feed efficiencies, labor savings and better animal health.
Here's how:
1. SweetPro blocks use Condensed Distillers Solubles with much higher protein and nearly 10 times the fat as molasses, plus improved aroma and palatability.
2. Improved overall digestion and feed efficiency of 25% or more is achieved from SweetPro's fermentation feed ingredients, rich in yeasts, enzymes and volatile organic acids that improve rumen fermentation.
3. Energy in SweetPro blocks comes from complex carbohydrates instead of the simple sugars of molasses, for less digestive disruption.
4. The safe, protein sources of SweetPro blocks include high rumen by pass ingredients to give calves and cattle an extra boost.
5. SweetPro blocks are fortified with Vitamins A, D and E, and a balanced blend of chelated trace minerals, to supplement lower quality hay, straw and stover.
Labor Savings
SweetPro® is high tech nutrition dispensed by a simple, convenient lick block.
One pound of SweetPro block replaces 3.5 lbs of range cake (Oklahoma trial)
and blocks are only placed out every week to ten days, saving labor and fuel
costs. This also eliminates the waste of range cubes fed on the ground, where
stomping and overconsumption by “boss” cattle often prevent others from
consuming their daily required amount.
Fly Control Blocks Available with ALTOSID® IGR
Effective fly control for 3 ½ to 4 cents per hd/day. During horn fly season,
without fly control, daily average gain may be reduced by 0.25 lbs per hd/day.
But an Altosid IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) feed-thru fly control investment
of $4.50 to $5.50 per cow/calf pair for a summer feeding season will yield
returns from 6:1 to 10:1.
No Negative Associative Effect (NAE).
Energy is from complex carbohydrates, not simple sugar, so it minimizes digestive
disruption from digestion of starch (NAE) on the
microbial populations which digest fiber in the rumen, keeping rumen pH high
for improved health.
