A Complete Approach to Feed Hygiene and Herd Performance Challenges

Defending and protecting cattle against feed hygiene challenges involves two categories of feed additives: binders or probiotic products. Independent, peer-reviewed research indicates that clay and yeast cell wall products are ineffective at “binding” mycotoxins and might actually be more efficacious for binding nutrients, and thereby reducing nutrient bioavailability¹,².

BioCycle® Plus product combines the benefits of BioCycle® and DTX™ for cattle facing multiple challenges of feed hygiene, digestive pathogens, heat, and other factors. BioCycle Plus®, a direct-fed microbial product, features L-form or cell wall-deficient bacteria (CWDB). Independent, peer-reviewed research with the CWDB found improved milk production and reproductive success when lactating dairy cows were challenged by DON and zearalenone³,⁴. The BioCycle® Plus also features a proprietary blend of natural plant actives sourced from turmeric, naringin, and rosemary to defend intestinal integrity and protect liver health for the next level in mycotoxin protection.

Real Results

“There are many products on the market; I believe BioCycle® Plus is the most effective product to actually solve the problem, instead of just putting a band-aid on it. It’s effective during times of high stress, such as the warmest days of the year; when a significant feed change happens; or anytime toxins are present in the feed. Time and again, I’ve seen it work on customer farms as effectively as any feed additive. Comments continually roll in that milk pounds came up or failed to dip in the heat or during a feed change; SCC decreased across the herd and especially on trouble cows; conception rates increase; and heats are stronger.”

Tyler Freund

CentralStar Cooperative Area Sales Manager

“After 60 days of feeding Select BioCycle® Plus all 30 of my bulls passed their breeding soundness exam (BSE). In the past, I would have 5-10% that didn’t pass. That wasn’t the case this year. I can confidently say this is the best ROI I’ve ever made!”

“We started an embryo transfer business and needed to give donor cows the best chance of success. Feeding BioCycle® Plus has done that. Cows respond with increased amounts and improved quality of transferred embryos. The results have been remarkable.”
