Roughage Buster
tub products are formulated to enable cattle to gain the most
value from forages. These cooked tub products provide protein,
mineral, and vitamin supplementation and offer palatable,
consistent intake which is vital to unleashing the wealth of
nutrients contained in forages. All products in this family
provide these functional ingredients:
The
inclusion of biuret allows for slow release of ammonia to
maximize economy, efficiency, and performance of cattle fed forage
diets. Biuret’s ammonia release rate is comparable to soybean
meal, which makes it a safer source of non-protein nitrogen (NPN)
compared to urea, and supplies a more continuous supply of ammonia
to rumen microbes which is needed for maximum forage utilization.
Additionally, biuret offers a cost-effective source of NPN.
Roughage Buster tubs are designed for free-choice feeding to
grazing beef cattle.
The
patent-pending Endo-Fighter® component is an
available product option.

field results from the use of Endo-Fighter have yielded positive
results – better weight gains and consistently lower body
temperatures compared to control cattle.
