For beef cattle on pasture

CRYSTALYX^® CRYSTAL-PHOS^® is designed to provide beef cattle a source of supplemental macro minerals, trace minerals and vitamins while grazing spring and summer pastures. CRYSTAL-PHOS^® offers practical advantages over typical mineral programs. CRYSTAL-PHOS^® is a weatherproof block that is more palatable than mineral. Expensive mineral feeders are not required. CRYSTAL-PHOS^® is fortified with chelated/organic forms of cobalt, copper, iodine, manganese and zinc. A four (4) ounce intake of CRYSTAL-PHOS^® provides 100 percent of the 1996 Beef NRC trace mineral requirements for a mature brood cow. CRYSTAL-PHOS^® is intended to be fed only when forage crude protein is not limiting.

Ideal For Beef Producers Who:

1. Want optimum reproductive performance by providing a mineral program to cattle grazing actively growing forages in the spring, summer or fall.
2. Are unhappy with mineral programs because of poor palatability, inconsistent consumption and/or mineral losses due to weather.
3. Desire chelated/organic trace minerals in their supplementation program due to
   1. conditions of increased stress levels
   2. increased demands by purebred breeders and/or advanced genetics
   3. high levels of trace minerals or antagonists such as molybdenum, sulfates, iron or other mineral imbalances
   4. the need for rapid trace mineral repletion.
4. Require a weatherproof (wind and rain resistant) mineral delivery without the need or expense of additional feeding equipment.
