Manage Cattle Health

Good animal health is the cornerstone to profitable beef production. Our consultants work with you to identify and address nutrition related health issues, such as metabolic disorders, rumen health and reproductive issues. We can offer you nutrition-based solutions that are designed with animal health in mind.

Metabolic and Digestive Disorders

Metabolic health problems have a long lasting impact on growth and reproductive performance. Acidosis and bloat in feedlot cattle are issues that impact health and performance. Milk fever in cows or heifers is a serious issue for cow/calf producers and for those that wean calves on the ranch bloat and rumen health are concerns. Stocker operators deal with these same bloat and rumen health issues as well. Cargill Animal Nutrition resources can have a tremendous positive impact on the severity of these conditions. Our consultants will devise program recommendations that optimize dry matter intake, deliver needed nutrients for immune health and fetal growth, and maximize performance. They’ll work with you on your metabolic and digestive issues and help you track progress toward solving the problems. Key aspects of the consultation include:

• Production Management
• Herd health records evaluation
• Nutrient gap analysis
• MAX™ system analysis of diets
• Ration recommendations developed with the MAX™ system
