1 BioZyme VitaFerm vs. Brand X
2 What Differentiates the Good from the Bad from the Ugly in Evaluating Free Choice Minerals
3 The Great Tag Showdown Mix 1 Mix 2 18% Protein 20% Protein 4% Fat 7% Fat 8% Fiber 5% Fiber.9-1.2% Calcium.7-1.1% Calcium.7-.9% Phosphorus.6-1.1% Phosphorus 35 ppm Copper 50 ppm Copper 150 ppm Zinc 225 ppm Zinc.6 ppm Selenium.3 ppm Selenium

5 Tag Basics Guaranteed analysis is important, but not as important as nutrient quality, source and identification. Don t base your decision on guarantee alone, regardless of price. Animal needs are met by consuming, digesting and utilizing amounts, not percentages.
6 What Makes a Quality Nutritional Perspective Mineral Good Adequate or above nutrient levels Quality ingredient sources Formulated to match (animals) production phase and/or address local environmental conditions such as antagonists and area nutrient deficiencies.
7 What Makes a Quality Mineral Good Dealer Perspective Supplier reputation and notoriety Supplier sales and marketing support Profit margins and inventory turnover
8 What Makes a Quality Producer Perspective Mineral Good Animal performance and a measurable return on investment Support and advice on nutrition, animal health Feeling appreciated (67% of customers leave because of supplier indifference; whether real or perceived).
9 Compromised Quality Bad to Ugly Formulated to meet minimum (NRC) requirements. Includes less available (digestible) nutrient sources (oxide trace minerals). Includes collective terms instead of individual ingredients. Most common example = Processed Grain By-Products. Add Iron Oxide as a coloring agent. Claims to be an all purpose mineral labeled for multi-specie use.
10 VitaFerm vs. Brand X Make sure you re comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges. It is simple to compare cost per bag; harder to compare quality and value per bag. Calculate cost per hd/day and compare nutrient profile to producer s (animal s) needs to determine you have the right product for the job. Look for standout features and unique benefits - is there truly an added value; can value be substantiated; or is it just good marketing?

31 Hay with VitaFerm 1200 lb Cow Annual Feed Estimate Cow and Calf Consumes 30.2 lbs/day* (30.2 X 365 = 11,000) 11,000 lbs per year 5.5 tons of hay Calf Consumes 11.2 lbs/day 2,300 lbs by 205 days of age 1.15 tons of hay *Beef NRC 2000
32 Hay with VitaFerm 1200 lb Cow Consumes 30.2 lbs/day* (30.2 X 365 = 11,000) 11,000 lbs per year 5.5 tons hay Calf 6.65 tons hay consumed/pair (as fed) Consumes 11.2 lbs/day 2,300 lbs by 205 days of age 1.15 tons hay *Beef NRC 2000
33 Hay with VitaFerm 6.65 Tons Consumed Research showed 20% average digestion improvement with Amaferm. Let s be conservative and use half or 10%.
34 Use Less Hay Make More Money with VitaFerm Value of 10% Improvement 6.65 tons feed consumed (13,300 lbs) 1,330 lbs saved annually (10% X 13,300) $155/ton hay means 1,330 lbs x $155/ton = $ per pair savings! Even if only feed hay half the year = $51.54 per pair savings!
35 Use Less Hay Make More Money with VitaFerm Value of 10% Improvement 6.65 tons feed consumed (13,300 lbs) 1,330 lbs. saved annually (10% X 13,300) That s almost 1 less big round bale fed per cow per year!
36 Amaferm Effect on VFA Production Control Amaferm SED Total VFA (mmol/l) Acetate (mmol/mol) Propionate (mmol.mol) Isobutyrate (mmol/mol) Butyrate (mmol.mol) Isovalerate (mmol/mol) Valerate (mmol/mol) Acetate/Propionate (mmol.mol) Source: Frumholz, 1989, J. Agric. Sci. 113:169
37 VFA Volatile Fatty Acids Primary energy source from forage diet Produced by rumen microbes 10% increase means more energy made available from same feed resource 25 lbs. 50% TDN = 12.5 lbs. + 10% = feeding equivalent of lbs.
38 Microbial Protein Invaluable to cow nutrition. A functional rumen produces a large amount of this bacterial protein. Provides 50% to 60% of protein required by the animal. Cheapest source of protein with a perfect amino acid profile.
39 Amaferm Increases Protein Availability Across all studies a 15% increase Microbial protein synthesis g/d grams more available in August is equivalent to 1 pound of 48% SBM June July August Control Amaferm Source: Caton, 1993, Journal of Animal Science 71:
40 The Amaferm advantage Increased VFA production provides additional energy = to feeding over 1 pound of approximately 12 cents. Increased microbial protein provides additional protein = to feeding up to 1lb. approximately 22 cents 1.5 lbs. 22 cents or substituting 6 lbs. of less expensive 10% grass hay for 6 lbs. 18% alfalfa, saving 21 cents.
