Proven Benefits in Beef Cattle
Scientific studies demonstrate superior efficacy in productive performance
Improved Feed Conversion
Improved feed conversion efficiency and diet utilization, with effect on carcass yield (Mumpton & Fishman, 1977)
Ruminal Buffer
Stabilizes ruminal pH and reduces subclinical acidosis in high-concentrate diets, improving digestibility
Ruminal Health
Improvement of ruminal pH and fermentation, reducing acidosis and improving digestibility
Cost Reduction
Better feed utilization reduces costs per kg of meat produced
Beef Cattle Applications
Specific solutions for each production system
Feedlot (Confinement)
Inclusion of 1.0-2.5% in the total diet for feedlot cattle. The zeolite acts as a ruminal buffer, stabilizing pH and improving fermentation. Reduces ruminal acidosis caused by high-grain diets, improving feed conversion.
Semi-Confinement
Addition of 0.5-1.5% in supplementation for cattle in semi-intensive systems. The high CEC (150-190 meq/100g) adsorbs ruminal ammonia, improving nitrogen utilization and feed conversion.
Pasture with Supplementation
Inclusion of 0.5-1.0% in mineral/protein supplementation for pasture cattle. Improves forage utilization and reduces nitrogen losses. Ideal for extensive systems seeking better performance without significantly increasing costs.
