Section 5 - Probiotics


 
 

In newly received and stressed cattle, the microbial population of the gut can be disturbed. Increased susceptibility to disease and less feed conversion efficiency, may result, causing slow starts and poor gains.  Probiotics contain certain microbial "bugs" that may assist in return to normal gut function.  These products have no drug or therapeutic action and are therefore easily managed.  Probiotics can be used in combination with any feed additive or other medication.  Additionally, probiotics have no withdrawal period.  Follow label directions and consult your veterinarian, nutritionist or sales representative for proper use and information.
