Cattle producers work to get their calves off to the right start and Biozyme is offering a solution for this concern. We caught up with John Jeffrey with Biozyme at NCBA’s CattleCon to learn more.
“So our newest product, I guess if you will, we had a soft launch last year here at NCBA, but we’re making a big launch this year. It’s our Sure Start Gel. Basically we’re incorporating Amaferm, which is our bread and butter, I mean we’re really known as a fermentation company, that’s where it all started, and then we’re incorporating moss in that product, but the other part of this product is the broad spectrum of IGY. So if you’ve got a newborn calf, it’s a really cold morning, you’ve got one that’s lethargic, once they get that first colostrum, you give them a tube of this and it’ll just jumpstart them right off,” said Jeffrey.
“Same basic principle, Amaferm not only has the effect for mature cattle in terms of increased digestibility and those kind of things, but there’s also a gut health aspect to Amaferm. So we know that 70% of our immunity comes through our intestinal tract. So anything that we can do to boost that, even for that failed calf, that first born calf, gets them off to the right start. So Amaferm is good from day one to the last day they’re here. Go to Amiferm.com, you can go to buyzymeinc.com, either one, and it’ll take you to any links to all of our products,” said Jeffrey.
