Mineral supplementation on summer pastures is a must. While green, growing forage can provide a good portion of what cattle need, there are nutritional gaps. The trace mineral profile of the forage is only as good as the soil, and even then it’s not always stored in the plant in a form that cattle can utilized. Additionally, the majority of pastures are deficient in phosphorus, a key nutrient in metabolism, bone integrity and maintaining pregnancy. EnergiLass Performance Cattle Mineral 5 Availa®4 AFC covers these nutritional gaps and provides an extra nutritional boost from the inclusion of Availa®4.
This low moisture block is formulated to provide 7 g of Availa®4 when consumed at 4 oz. Availa®4 is research proven to positively impact reproductive performance in beef cattle. Consumption should average 4 oz per head daily. The amount consumed will vary depending on the quality, type and quantity of feedstuffs available.
