Putting $$$ Back in Your Pocket BioZyme offers a wide variety of proven products to help keep your cattle healthy and efficient. All BioZyme products contain the Amaferm advantage, which acts as a prebiotic increasing digestibility to maximize the energy value of feed, allowing for more efficient gains. SURE CHAMP Proven in the show ring, but works equally as well in creep feed to help maintain the strong appetite and healthy digestive system needed to unlock the genetic potential of your calves. Contains high levels of essential micronutrients for the extra bloom that show and sale cattle require. GAIN SMART POWER 37 A high quality protein supplement with macro minerals making it a great fit for building today s modern creep feeds. Contains moderate levels of essential micronutrients to ensure animal performance. Use it alone for commercial calf creeps or together with Sure Champ to build high performance show and creep rations. SURE START PELLET The ideal supplement for stressed cattle during weaning. This pellet also works extremely well as a creep balancer, bringing high levels of vitamins and minerals when additional protein is not needed. Works well in distillers and corn gluten-based creep feeds. AMAFERM DIGEST MORE A low inclusion way to supplement Amaferm in any diet. At 0.5 ounces per day, Digest More provides 2 grams of Amaferm when additional protein, vitamins and minerals are not required. Vita Charge Stress Tub with MOS CONVENIENT Livestock get their daily dose of Vita Charge in a pen setting with our 50 or 200 lb. tub. Ideal for newly weaned calves or cattle that are a part of your sale or show string. APPETITE IGNITER Contains Amaferm, a research-proven rumen stimulator that ignites appetite. You ll see your livestock utilizing rations more efficiently and steadier appetites, especially during stressful situations like feed and water changes, weaning and time spent on the road. IMPROVED HEALTH Includes MOS, a unique product that traps bad bacteria in the digestive tract. This ensures that feed intake stays consistent and keeps digestive upsets at bay. NUTRITIONAL PUNCH Organic trace minerals help ensure that your animal is healthy on the inside for increased immunity.
