Vitalix: Getting you straight to the Backdrop

As many juniors and producers are preparing for summer shows their will be many supplements available to choose from. Make sure you are choosing the right ones.

Vitalix Backdrop tub is unlike any other stress tub out there. Its unique combination of a protein tub with electrolytes, full levels of Diamond V yeast, comax, zinpro availa 4, diamond V selenosource, and our enzyme package will ensure your show steer or heifer stay on feed and stay healthy.

The Backdrop tub is Vitalix’s newest tub, and its already seeing proven results.

Jeff Paulsen, Paulsen Cattle “Backdrop tubs began as an intricate part of our sale cattle routine, and became a must have for us traveling the show circuit. The Backdrop tubs added fat and energy gave the show cattle extra bloom and the electrolytes, enzyme package and extra yeast showed us a drastic improvement in immunity, feed conversion and intake. Backdrop tubs have become a mainstay in all aspects of our show cattle operation.”

The 50lb tub is a convenient size to take to all your show this summer, place in fan or cooler pens, tie outs or even stalls.

Make the right choice and make it to the Backdrop. Call for more details (800) 423-8827 or visit Vitalix.com.

Do you have a Selenium (Se) Deficiency?

Low Selenium (Se) levels are found in western Canada and across 37 states. Se deficiency could be affecting your bottom line.

 Se is usually expressed as white muscle disease, and low levels can lead to retained placentas, weak calves and a markedly reduced calving efficiency.  Se and Vitamin E (E) tend to be classed together, as low E levels will lead to reduced calving percentages.   There are many important interactions between Se and other required minerals such as Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu).  It is important that a well-balanced feed supplement with guaranteed nutrient levels is fed to your herd.  

In our Canadian regions we have had two reports, one from Jim in the Nicola Valley in BC, and one from Grant in Southern Saskatchewan, where Se levels are low.  We recommend the #7 low moisture molasses lick tubs that have the highest nutrient density of any supplement on the market. The tub contains 26ppm of Se and also is formulated to meet the requirements of other minerals including Zn and Cu.

Both operations have seen improvement of their herd since using the Vitalix Tubs.  Jim in Nicola Valley has reported back that his cows are gaining weight and that the tubs are a cost savings that have greatly improved his bottom line
