Alltech's Hubbard Feeds introduces Recharge^®, new product line for beef cattle

 

Hubbard Feeds, an Alltech company, has introduced Recharge^®, an innovative solution for beef cattle designed to optimise intake, enhance performance, and increase profitability.

 

Recharge utilises advanced nutritional technologies that promote cattle well-being and support performance during challenging periods. The product helps cattle cope with stress, contributing to their overall vitality and productivity.

 

Recharge provides a proactive approach to herd management, focusing on holistic nutrition strategies for cattle wellness.

 

The line of products includes:

 

    - Recharge 0.5 Pellet

 

    - Recharge Micro 6g Premix

 

    - Recharge Drench

 

    - Recharge Block

 

"Recharge uses unique nutritional technologies to enhance cattle health. Keeping cattle healthy is the key to optimising intakes, performance, and ultimately, profitability," said Dr. Mark Klemesrud, ruminant nutritionist at Hubbard Feeds. "Feeding Recharge to cattle during stress events can enhance health and improve feed intakes and performance."

 

Feedlot results have shown:

 

    - Optimised dry matter intake;

 

    - Improved ADG and feed efficiency;

    - Higher percentage cattle qualifying for drug-free programme.

 

"We fed the Recharge pellet to approximately 300 heads of calves and the intake increase was significant in just a three to four-day period," said Recharge customer Steve Beeson of Dante, South Dakota, the United States. "We saw fewer sick calves and it helped to even out intakes. 

 

"The 0.5-pound inclusion rate was very simple. Calves are more active and ready to eat. Even when the weather fluctuated, they stayed at a consistent feed intake."
