Q: Why does BRIGADE® contain salt and most other CRYSTALYX® Supplements do not?
A: BRIGADE® is formulated to assist animals during periods of stress. Sodium and chloride (from salt) and potassium are key electrolytes needed to help animals rehydrate properly. This is especially important following transport or illness.
   
Q: Will BRIGADE® help me get my cows and heifers bred back?
A: BRIGADE® can be a helpful tool in correcting breeding problems if they have been tied to poor or ineffective trace mineral fortification. BRIGADE® contains chelated/organic trace minerals, which are reported to be very helpful in herds with trace mineral imbalances.
   
Q: What makes BRIGADE® a great stress fighting supplement in addition to a pelleted feed?
A: Cattle like BRIGADE® and will consume it readily, even during times of severe stress. Trace minerals are quite unpalatable and this form of delivery (the cooked molasses block) helps ensure good consumption even during periods of lower intakes.
   
Q: Is BRIGADE® safe for sheep?
A: No, the copper level is toxic to sheep. SHEEP-LYX™ is recommended.
