All over the world, livestock producers are being challenged to meet the growing consumer demand for healthy, wholesome and delicious protein sources. 

Beef producers are heeding this call with an amazing display of commitment, resourcefulness, innovation and efficiency.  For example, the United States — a country that has less than 10 percent of the world's cattle inventory — now produces nearly 25 percent of the world's beef supply.

Beef producers are also delivering a higher quality product that’s right for today’s lifestyles:

• A 3-ounce serving of lean beef contributes less than 10 percent of calories to a 2,000-calorie diet yet it supplies more than 10 percent of the daily value for nine essential nutrients. 

• Beef has become the number 1 food source for protein, vitamin B12, and Zinc, according to USDA.

• Beef is the number 3 food source of iron behind fortified cereal and grains.

At Alpharma, we’re proud to be a part of the beef industry — working with you to protect your investment with a wide range of products that ensure the optimum health and welfare of your herd.
