ULTRALIX BREEDER
Ultralix Breeder supplements are molasses based delivering a balance of energy, protein, phosphorus and essential trace minerals. These supplements are designed to aid with the intake of roughage which may increase livestock body weight gain, reduce weight loss when grazing dry forage and improve fertility and overall profitability. Ultralix Breeder supplements will improve the Dietary Cation Anion Difference (DCAD) balance in your cow’s diet. A healthy cow with the correct DCAD balance will be able to better mobilize calcium, phosphorus and nutrients within their body when it is required during the year. Breeder supplement could increase fibre (grass) intake by up to 25%, for best results cattle need free access to roughage and water. In phosphorus deficient areas we recommend you to use our Breeder range of supplement for all classes of cattle. Breeder XP contains extra phosphorus and can be made as Breeder 4,5,6 or 8 but we recommend using Breeder 4 or 5. XP is design to be feed at higher rates when breeders are grazing green feed and the sour supplements can make it challenging to increase the supplement consumption when grazing sweet feed.
Breeder 4 is the sweetest supplements in the range and contain the same protein level as M4U. Breeder 8 is the sourest products in the range and contain the equivalent protein level as M8U. It is not recommended to start supplementing cattle on Breeder 6 or 8 unless you are switching from another molasses supplement like M8U as it can create shy feeders starting cattle on very sour products.

Weaners should be fed 0.5kg/day to 1kg/day
Steers and Heifers should be feed 0.5kg/day to 1.2kg/day
Breeders should be fed 0.6kg/day to 1.5kg/day
Supplementing rate will depend on the amount and quality of roughage available to your livestock to graze and your desired outcome. Generally, the more you supplement or the earlier you start in the season the better the results should be. It is recommended not to exceed 50hd per 500 lt trough or one unit to 10lt of trough space. Ultralix Breeder supplement are rain safe and designed to be fed adlib in open troughs.
Ultralix supplements contain Urea and should only be fed at the recommended rate. Make sure all non-targeted animals like horse cannot get access to these supplements. Ultralix supplements should not be feed to starving stock or stock that have been deprived from water or roughage.
