Beef

In the cattle business, small shifts add up fast. Whether you’re trying to boost weaning weight, improve breed-back, or reduce cost of gain in a feedlot, it all comes down to consistency.

At Ralco, we bring that consistency to every phase of production with natural solutions that work with biology, not against it. Our tools help your cattle eat, gain and perform through the real-world stressors that impact health and profitability.

Our Technology Story

Innovative Technologies for Beef Health

Ralco’s technologies are built for one purpose, helping producers raise healthier cattle. Each innovation is backed by decades of research, tested in production environments and built around a deep understanding of how natural solutions impact health and performance.

Supports Beneficial Microbes

Stimulates and feeds beneficial rumen and gut microbes to promote fiber digestibility, improve intake and gain, and reduce health challenges.

Supports Gut Microbiota Balance

By feeding the right microbial populations and improving the gut or root environment, our solutions create an environment where beneficial microbes can thrive.

Delivers Targeted Formulations

We match essential oil and plant extract profiles to specific beef challenges using NEXUS™. That means every product is built for a purpose, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.

Supports Natural Immunity

Ralco technologies help support the structural integrity of the gut linin, contributing to animals’ overall resilience and comfort during everyday production challenges.

Drives Feed Intake & Gain

Stimulates rumen microbes and enhances fiber digestibility to encourage intake for quicker starts and heavier gains.

Proven, Predictable, Repeatable

Results are backed by research and built to deliver the same performance across different environments.

Whatever You’re Up Against

Our science-backed technologies solve the most persistent challenges in modern beef production.

Body Condition Scores & Reproduction

Increased cow BCS by 0.3 points and improved timed AI pregnancy rates by 8.6%

Study EXP- R09-02

Heat Stress

Increased average daily gain by 0.58 lbs., improved feed efficiency by 15% (F:G), and boosted revenue by $48.23/head during late-summer heat stress conditions

Study EXP-RB22-05

Weaning Weights

Increased adjusted calf weaning weights by 14 lbs., delivering $30 more value per head during periods of declining forage quality.

Study EXP R09-02

Heavier Finishing Weights

Grow yard cattle gained up to 0.38 lbs. more per day and improved feed efficiency by as much as 2.32 lbs. of feed per lb. of gain, resulting in a net value increase of $30 per head

Study EXP-FDRB22-04

Feedlot Performance

Improved feed efficiency by 4% while increasing carcass value by up to $52.88/head, without using tylosin.

Study EXP- RB22-01

Carcass Quality

Increased USDA Prime carcass percentage by 136% in Akaushi Crossbred cattle with a 15% improvement in marbling score.

Study EXP RB20-04

Summer Grazing Gains

Improved daily gain by 0.21 lbs. and delivered $8.19 more value per head, with or without protein supplementation.

Study EXP-R07

Fiber Digestibility

Increased dry matter digestion by 12-24% and boosted total VFA production by 6.4-18%, including higher acetate and propionate levels.

Study EXP-R06-02-C, EXP-R6-02-B

Finishing Phase Gain

Increased ADG by 0.23 lbs. and improved feed-to-gain by 0.82 lbs. during the growing phase without increasing intake.

New Product

Introducing Rapid Strike™

Two brown bottles labeled "Rapid Strike for Cow/Calf" with white and green labels, one featuring a white dosing syringe and the other a white screw cap, formulated for young ruminant health.

Digestive stress from scours can take calves down fast. Rapid Strike™ is a natural oral drench that helps restore gut function and get calves back on feed and water quickly. With essential oils, prebiotics and electrolytes, Rapid Strike supports hydration, recovery and growth, so calves stay on track, even when challenges hit.

What Producers Are Saying

Fewer Scours, Healthier Calves

“We’ve dealt with scours in the ground for years, but after giving every calf Start Strong for Calves at birth, we didn’t have to start doctoring until much later than usual and treated far fewer calves overall. When we did treat calves, one round of Rapid Strike and a dose of Albon was typically all it took. Even our toughest cases turned around fast!”

Kresta H.
Rancher

Fast Response in Weak Calves

“Had a set of twins that were a little slow. Gave them a dose of Start Strong for Calves and was amazed. Both got up and nursed. Now it’s part of my newborn regimen.”

Paul L.
Beef Producer

Stronger Starts at Weaning

“We’ve pulled 20–25% fewer calves than normal. And the calves that needed to be treated responded really well while on Fight Strong Pellet.”
