to 1.5 pounds of CRYSTALYX® per-day enough to provide sound supplemental nutrition?
Numerous research trials have proven that low, consistent intakes of CRYSTALYX® across the herd have resulted in improved animal performance when compared to other supplemental alternatives. Using CRYSTALYX® to provide supplemental protein and other nutrients to livestock consuming low-quality forage, improves the use of forage through better intake and digestibility. This “positive associative affect” is the result of CRYSTALYX® maximizing the efficiency of rumen microorganisms to capture more nutrients from forages than when forages are fed alone. It is because of this fundamental principal that low intakes of CRYSTALYX® can provide sound supplemental nutrition, and make good economic sense.
