FESCUE BALANCER IGR
A Nutritional Supplement Containing S-Methoprene Insect Growth Regulator for
Continuous Feeding to All Classes of Beef and Dairy Cattle through the Horn Fly
Season.
THE PRODUCT
FESCUE BALANCER IGR is a supplement that is completely mineral-fortified
with added magnesium and designed to provide sufficient (S)-Methoprene insect
growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of
treated cattle. This unique supplement is second to none when compared to other
low-moisture blocks. This block is the product of a state-of-the-art patented
process that provides a unique 24-hour feeding system. FESCUE
BALANCER IGR is
an exceptionally dense all-weather block that will give you the most for your
money. Here’s how:
- FESCUE BALANCER IGR supplement is fortified
with Altosid® which
offers the most effective and convenient way to control
horn flies in beef and dairy cattle.
- Economical: A low feeding rate means
lower feeding costs (on a per head per day basis).
- High Mineral Fortification: This
supplement is mineral fortified, eliminating
the need for additional free-choice minerals,
resulting in significant cost savings.
- Weather Resistant: The
patented, “continuous flow” system
creates a quality, low-moisture, exceptionally dense block
that maintains its integrity even in hot,
humid weather or precipitation.
- Minimal Labor: The
Feed In A Drum supplements
are easy to feed. Simply place
the blocks in areas of easy
access to the cattle.
- Returnable Steel Tubs are
self contained supplement feeders that
are environmentally friendly and eliminate
the expense of additional feeding equipment.
EFFECTIVE FLY CONTROL
FESCUE BALANCER IGR supplement
already helps improve forage utilization
and reproductive performance by providing cattle the essential
nutrients they need. Now FESCUE
BALANCER IGR will
help keep horn fly populations under control too. As an
insect growth regulator, Altosid passes through cattle
and into the manure. This is where the breaking of the
fly cycle begins. Female flies can lay eggs in fresh
manure. Within a week or so the eggs develop into larvae,
then pupae and then adult flies. The active ingredient
in Altosid, Methoprene, ultimately prevents fly eggs
from completing this cycle, keeping adult flies from
emerging. Kansas State University research completed
in 2005 shows that feeding The Feed In A Drum IGR supplements
fortified with Altosid to cattle significantly decreases
the survival rate of horn flies to the adult stage.
MAGNESIUM ADDED
FESCUE BALANCER IGR offers
the benefit of added magnesium in a
highly palatable supplement that cattle
will readily consume. This supplement
contains a minimum of 2% magnesium.
Magnesium is needed for activation of
enzymes, nerve transmission, skeletal
tissue, bone formation and milk production.
