How it Works?

How Does It Work?

• Including Bio 5 in daily rations ensures a steady supply of “good” bacteria, reducing “bad” bacteria via competitive exclusion – there is literally not enough room in the gut for the “bad” bacteria! Proteins are converted more efficiently, and feed conversion rates improve – resulting in healthier cows that produce higher quality milk.
• Increased regulation and enforcement of FDA rules on the use of antibiotics are forcing producers to look for solutions to control infection, and improve her health – the ingredients and bacteria in Bio 5 are designed to crowd our harmful gut bacteria, resulting in improved yields.

How To Feed:

• Bio 5 is designed to be added to dairy rations immediately after weaning, and throughout the life-cycle of the cow. Add 3 lbs. of Bio 5 per one ton of feed, and feed the ration as you normally would. Some studies suggest that a slightly higher dosage (5 lbs. per ton) may be beneficial in calf rations.

Features and Benefits

What Makes Bio5 Unique?

• Three species of widely-studied bacteria – broad spectrum coverage for digestive issues your herd may face
• A proprietary nutrient delivery system designed to enhance bacterial viability throughout the production and feeding process
• Zeolite – as an adsorbent and ammonia reduction mechanism, zeolite is a microporous aluminosilicate with outstanding molecular-level filtration characteristics.
• A unique mineral deposit that is a source of humic acids and other mined components that have both toxin-binding properties and gut flora-nourishing capabilities.

Testimonials

“I have been raising beef cattle for the past 43 years, and I take great pride in my work and the top-of-the-line genetics I have built over the years. But to get the greatest potential out of your genetics, you need both exceptional breeding and feeding programs. I have used Catalyst’s Beef Mineral and Breeder Pak since 1980. While on this program I have had a phenomenal 92% conception rate on artificial breeding. I feed the Beef Mineral all year round, and I use Catalyst’s Cattle Breeder Pak 40 days prior to breeding. With proven results over the years, these are the only minerals I will ever feed.”

“This past year Catalyst told me about their new probiotic feed additive, Bio 5, that they have added to their line of beef products. With Catalyst’s proven products that I have used for years I had to try it. Within a week I could see the results. My buyers and I could not be more impressed with the results. I have been using the same feeding program for years with great success but the inclusion of Bio 5 into my program has enhanced the results. The cattle are hungrier than ever. We are seeing an additional 5-7 lb. gain per head over a 14 day period. Buyers that have come to see my calves for the past 10 years have said, ‘this is the best group of calves and heaviest group they have seen ever’, ‘they have never seen performance like this’ and ‘this is crazy, what are you feeding!?’ My answer to them is simple: Bio 5.

Catalyst’s Cattle Breeder Pak, and Beef Mineral have helped me produce the highest quality cattle I possibly can. Now with the addition of Bio 5, the quality of my beef cattle is even higher. I can’t wait to see what Catalyst comes up with next!”
