MLS Tubs Are a Sure Bet

Fall is quickly upon us, and calves are going through lots of “stress” as they transition through weaning at this time of year. Bawling calves, developing rumens, long truck rides and new environments all add up quickly to high stress conditions. But MLS can help you place a sure bet that may help, our MLS #5 Stress Tub and the HM Transition Manager Tub are both specifically formulated for high stress situations and changes in the production cycle.

The Power of Palatability

Cattlemen and women alike know that the greatest products in the world mean nothing if your calves won’t eat them, or in high enough amounts, which puts palatability at the top of the list! Midcontinent Livestock Supplements solely manufactures low-moisture cooked molasses tubs and our stress and receiving products are uniquely manufactured fan favorites that deliver more targeted nutrition than other competing stress tubs in the market. Through the cooking process we can blend liquid and dry ingredients to deliver the right amount of proper nutrition upon arrival or immediately at weaning right when you need it most!

The importance of a highly palatable #5 MLS Stress Tub and the HM Transition Manager yields consistent consumption for every calf in the pen. After being weaned, hauled, and potentially ending up in a radically new environment, it is not uncommon to find calves uninterested in eating. Lack of interest in feed coupled with the stress of weaning and or receiving, can set the immune system up for some major and costly challenges. The #5 Stress Tub and the HM Transition Manager each provide a solution that entices calves to start eating quickly, getting critical nutrients into the rumen right from the start without delay, helping to prepare the immune system for a variety of challenges that are sure to come in the next 30 to 45 days of life.

Available All Day, Every Day to Every Animal

No matter what situation, when using one of our supplement solutions every animal has a chance to get the nutrition they are needing! Whether it’s a pen of freshly weaned calves, yearlings going to winter pasture, or some heavier calves entering the feed yard, cattle will always have access to the nutrition they need to thrive. With cattle fighting for a position at the bunk or being too stressed to even eat, MLS tubs are always available to even the weakest cattle in the group. This constant availability drives gut health, immune support and getting cattle to grass or taking feed in at the bunk during these tough times of stress and transition.
