Effective, economical prevention is one of the keys to successful
preconditioning and receiving programs. Healthier animals that
convert feed more efficiently are better prepared to fight off the
challenge of coccidiosis and achieve weight gain.
• Inherent differences between ionophores can impact calf health
and replacement heifer performance in your operation
Weight Gain &
Feed Efficiency
• Optimizes the way cattle
utilize their feed,1 resulting
in significant, measurable gains
on any forage, in any season
• Consistent performance – in 59
pasture trials, cattle gained an average
of 0.13 lb/day more when fed Bovatec
with a range of 0.06 to 0.35 lb/day2
• Heifers gain weight faster, reach breeding age
sooner, and calve earlier2 – which means more
productive days
• Improves reproduction efficiency in heifers with
no impaired reproductive performance, post-calving
interval, or conception rate2
• Increased palatability over Rumensin means more
Bovatec is available to fight coccidiosis3
• No step-up program required like Rumensin and
no withdrawal period needed2
