All natural protein supplement for heifers,
brood cows, stocker cattle and goats.
SweetPro® 16 protein supplement is designed for the essential fortification
of heifers, brood cow, stocker cattle and goat requirements for vitamins
A, D and E plus protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements
including selenium. Daily intake will vary depending on forage quality
and nutritional needs.
SweetPro blocks improve calving and clean-up. Stronger calves pay
bigger dividends. SweetPro blocks are an effective tool to improve
breed-back. Organic complexed (chelated) minerals plus extra energy
are known to improve first service conception rates. Using SweetPro
blocks at weaning reduces calf weight loss by reducing weaning
stress and cows consistently wean heavier, “growthy” calves without
risk of discounts for “fat” calves.
Heifers and Their Nutritional Needs
The SweetPro 16 block is often called, the “heifer block” because
of its effectiveness helping the heifer continue her growth and
maturity while nursing a calf and conceiving a second. This is
the toughest nutritional scenario for a beef herd. A key tool is
a program that allows the heifer to get maximum energy value from
non-starch substrates. When you maximize the value of forage, you
minimize the need for extra grain (starch) as an energy supplement.
Grain is great for putting finish on cattle but not frame. And
the heifer is still growing her own frame at this time.
In SweetPro blocks, there’s virtually no starch or sugar and minimal
NSC (non-structural carbohydrate). Instead, the focus is on complex
(structural) carbohydrate and high by-pass protein value in the
distillers grain carrier. We then emphasize a top quality vitamin
and mineral package with organic complexed trace minerals to maximize
bioavailability. Your cattle not only get the extra benefit of
the supplement’s ingredients, but they also get up to 25% more
out of the rest of their feed. When heifers get better feed-efficiency
on forage they do better and their calves are stronger. Fertility
improves because her own needs are being met and nature says she’s
okay to have another calf without waiting extra heat cycles to
replenish body stores.
Calving and Weaning
We recommend feeding SweetPro blocks four to six weeks ahead of
putting out the bulls to raise the cow’s/heifer’s plain of nutrition
with a fertility-enhancing flushing benefit, and to increase the
likelihood of conception on the first service.
Another very efficient time for SweetPro supplementation is just
before weaning to counter cows being pulled down by big calves
and replenish body condition going into winter. The cows/heifers
will give more milk and calves also lick the tubs for their own
“double” benefit. For best results and calves averaging 60 to 80
lbs heavier at weaning, use SweetPro tubs all year.
The expected range of consumption is from
0.75 to 1.25 lbs per head per day.
CAUTION: Contains 600 ppm copper • DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP • Do not use in association with another feed containing supplemental selenium.
