A New Approach To Direct-Fed Microbials
Many dairy supplements belong to a product class called direct-fed microbials (DFM). Such products assist animals by repopulating stressed digestive systems. Typically, they contain supplemental yeast and naturally occurring freeze-dried microorganisms. Most commercial products have some positive effects, however shelf life and feedstuff compatibility have been challenges facing these products. Often conventional DFMs are full potency in the manufacturer’s package but are not able to survive when mixed in the ration for extended periods.
BioCycle® is recommended when performance improvements are needed in reproduction and overall herd health. Select BioCycle® is not appropriate when mold-challenged feeds are the major problem.
One of the key factors making Select BioCycle® more effective is the presence of Proprietary Direct Fed Microbial (DFM) bacteria. The DFM bacteria found in the BioCycle® line are unequaled among DFM products.
BioCycle® contains two proprietary DFM bacteria, enhancing the function and population of the microflora in the lower gut. BioCycle® also contains both yeast culture and live cell yeast that produce a broad range of metabolites including B-vitamins, a broad-based enzyme package to enhance nutrient digestions, specialized proteins for the unexpected challenges, microbial sugars for nourishment of other gut microbes, and potassium iodide to enhance metabolism.

BioCycle® FAQ’s
What is BioCycle?
BioCycle is a direct-fed microbial (DFM) designed to support gut health, feed efficiency, and immune function in livestock. It provides a blend of beneficial bacteria that help stabilize the gastrointestinal environment.
What species is BioCycle intended for?
BioCycle is used in multiple species, including dairy cattle, beef cattle, poultry, and swine. Consult the label or your nutritionist for species-specific dosing.
How does BioCycle support animal performance?
BioCycle helps maintain microbial balance, supports digestion, and enhances immune response—especially during times of stress or dietary changes.
When should BioCycle be used?
It is ideal during weaning, feed transitions, transport, illness recovery, and other stress events where microbial balance and feed intake are at risk.
Can BioCycle be used long-term?
Yes. Many producers include BioCycle in daily rations for consistent support of gut health and performance.
Is BioCycle compatible with medicated feeds?
Yes, in most cases. Always check with your nutritionist or veterinarian to confirm compatibility with specific medications.
How is BioCycle different from other probiotics?
BioCycle uses carefully selected, viable strains that are stabilized and proven to survive the digestive process, ensuring delivery where it matters most.
