The Rumen Activator
Profile
CRYSTALYX® Beef-lyx® is a unique, nutrient-dense supplement formulated
to help improve health and stimulate appetites of incoming feedlot cattle.
Beef-lyx® supplies supplemental energy, vitamins, minerals, trace minerals
and yeast culture in a very palatable form to help reduce stress in incoming
feedlot cattle.
Features/Benefits

- Mineral and Vitamin Fortification Beef-lyx® is specifically formulated
to help meet mineral and vitamin needs of incoming feedlot cattle to
fight diseases associated with the stresses of a new environment.
- Yeast Cultures and B Vitamins Beef-lyx® helps stimulate appetite
to maintain intake when cattle hesitate to consume receiving rations.
- Highly Palatable
Beef-lyx® is highly palatable with yeast culture and a high level
of molasses solids.
- Energy
Beef-lyx® can increase energy intake in two ways:
- energy provided by Beef-lyx®

found in Beef-lyx®. Beef-lyx® is 12% crude protein and will
not dilute the protein content of the complete ration.

"The cattle seem to have extra energy, and a little more get-up-and-go."
JOE LUDWIG
Solomon Valley Feeders
Grand Island, NE
Joe Ludwig operates Solomon Valley Feeders in north central Kansas, south of Grand Island, Nebraska. Typically, they will finish 45-50,000 cattle in a year, bringing in calves between 500 and 600 pounds and finishing them at 1,200 to 1,300 pounds.
Joe has been evaluating Beef-lyx®, a CRYSTALYX® Supplement formulated for newly arrived calves in the feedlot. They have been feeding the Beef-lyx® barrels to stressed calves that have been pulled from the lots and placed in "hospital" or recovery pens.
Joe likes what he has seen so far from Beef-lyx® in the sick pens. "The cattle seem to have extra energy, and a little more get-up-and-go. We could see some improvement in the response of calves in the hospital area and in the incoming calves, also," he said.
The Kansas cattle feeder said that once a calf or two discovered the barrel, soon all the calves in the pen would be licking the Beef-lyx®.
"Their appetite would pick up and after a few days, they'd seem to have more bloom to them - a better appearance all-around, I'd say."
Joe indicated he plans to continue evaluating Beef-lyx® in the sick pens this fall as more calves enter the feedlot.
