Fly season is here, and it’s time to make sure cattle don’t experience productivity setbacks. Flies are a nuisance, spreading disease and pestering cattle. The horn fly, in particular, is a scourge on grazing cattle. Production losses (weight loss, decreased milk production, lower calf weaning weights) attributed to horn flies cost the industry $1 billion annually.
Kent EnergiLass® 12 AFC is a natural protein, mineral and vitamin supplement designed to complement the diet of cattle grazing in medium-to high-quality pasture, hay, or other forage while managing losses from fly infestation.
- Continuous Protein Delivery – research shows multiple, small doses in tub form help improve forage digestion.
- 2:1 Calcium-to Phosphorus Ratio – ideal for cattle on pasture, which tend to be deficient in phosphorus.
- Trace Minerals – formulated to provide trace mineral nutrition to help support overall animal health and performance.
- Optimal Vitamin Fortification – vitamins A, D and E to support growth, metabolism, reproductive performance and proper immune system function.
- Formulated Without Added Salt – a source of free-choice salt should be made available at all times, such as 7701 Framework 365 Mineral® ADE.
