The more you know about ionophores, the better you can identify the one that will yield the greatest return on investment.

Over the years, we’ve conducted extensive field trials to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Bovatec in a wide variety of beef and dairy situations.

Trial after trial, the results show that Bovatec helps protect your investment.  For example:

• 12 studies confirm that Bovatec is the superior choice in cattle on high-fiber diets, outperforming monensin in daily gain (2.36 vs. 2.26) and feed/gain (8.24 vs. 8.78).

• Studies show that heifers fed Bovatec gain weight faster, reach breeding age sooner and calve earlier. 

Bovatec’s excellent palatability and high margin of safety help ensure optimum feed intake and dose levels to maximize your return on investment.
