N-20 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
N-20 IGR is a supplement that is completely mineralfortified 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. N-20 IGR is an exceptionally dense all-weather block that will
give you the most for your money. Here’s how:
- N-20 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 a supplemental feed cost savings of 5¢ to 8¢ per head per day.
- Weather Resistant: The patented, “continuous flow” system
creates a 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
N-20 IGR supplement already helps improve forage utilization and
reproductive performance by providing cattle the essential nutrients they
need. Now N-20
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.
DOES NOT CONTAIN NON-PROTEIN NITROGEN
When all-natural protein is desired for your cattle, then N-20 IGR is
the smart choice. This product contains only natural protein sources.
N-20 IGR is recommended when ammonia-treated forages and rations
are already part of the diet.
N-20 IGR is ideal for young or growing calves (400 lbs. of body
weight or less).
