RESEARCH PROVEN
Independent and commercial trials show clear, measurable improvements in feedlot gain, efficiency, feed quality and overall herd health.
Study 1: Improved Feed Efficiency & Carcass Value
Study EXP-RB22-01 | Colorado State University, 400 Steers | Aspire
- +3.85% feed efficiency over control cattle, reducing the amount of feed needed to increase gain by 0.25 lbs.
- +10.9 lbs. hot carcass weight over control
- +30.7 lbs. final live weight vs. MT (1,482.2 lbs. vs. 1,451.5 lbs.); on par with control (+0.8 lb.).
- Matched monensin/tylosin-fed cattle in feed conversion.
Aspire delivers monensin-level efficiency in a natural program, giving feedyards flexibility without sacrificing performance.
Study 2: Higher Gain on High-Forage Diets
Study EXP-FDRB22-07 | Feedlot Growing Phase | Catyl-Zyme
- +0.23 lbs. ADG in the growing phase
- Improved feed-to-gain by 0.37 lbs.
- Reduced cost of gain by $0.05/lb. (including product cost)
By improving fiber digestibility, Catyl-Zyme unlocks more energy from feed, setting cattle up for faster, more efficient gains early in the feeding period.
