Purina Stress Tub (125# Tub)

Purina® Stress Tub is a free choice supplement designed for young cattle prior to or after stress and breeding animals. This product is recommended for use in pre-weaning situations, receiving and hospital pens, as well as to the breeding herd 60 days prior to calving and through the breeding season. This tub is a highly palatable molasses based supplement that entices cattle to taste. It provides the key nutrients needed for a fully functioning immune system so that cattle are fully prepared to face and/or recover from the stresses of weaning and transportation, respond to vaccination programs, start more quickly on feed, or return to their home pen more quickly. It also provides the nutrients involved in reproductive performance to positively impact fertility, estrus, as well as semen quality and quantity. Feed one tub per 20 head and at least 2 tubs per pen or pasture to ensure adequate intake by younger, more timid animals.

IMPORTANT: 1. Feed one tub per 20 head and at least 2 tubs per pen or pasture to ensure adequate intake by younger, more timid animals. 2. Place tubs within 100 feet of where animals congregate (loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas). 3. Feed tubs continuously along with adequate amounts of good quality forage and fresh, clean water. 4. Cattle will consume approximately 0.33 to 0.5 pounds of this supplement per head daily. 5. Cows will receive 7 grams of Availa4 and 1/2 ounce of Diamond V Original XPC per 1/2 pound of tub consumed. INTRODUCTORY PERIOD: During the first week of use, place the tubs within 100 feet of the loafing and/or watering areas. As animals become accustomed to the presence of the tubs, some repositioning may be necessary. Move the tubs closer to increase consumption, further away to decrease consumption. DO NOT PROVIDE STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS SUPPLEMENT. Consumption rate depends on location of the tubs with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and/or watering areas. Also consider animal condition, forage quality and quantity and seasonal weather conditions. If over-consumption occurs for more than two weeks despite tub repositioning, remove tubs and evaluate the overall feeding program.

CAUTION: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death. This product was made in a feed manufacturing facility that does not handle or store products containing animal proteins prohibited in ruminant feed.
