16% Fly Control AN with Altosid IGR Tub 200 lb

Sweetlix 16% Fly Control AN with Altosid IGR Poured Tub (200-lb Tub)

Break the fly lifecycle and safeguard your herd's performance. Sweetlix 16% Fly Control AN with Altosid® IGR is a premium, all-natural protein supplement and feed-through fly control system designed for beef cattle on pasture. This durable 200 lb poured lick tub delivers continuous pasture nutrition while effectively suppressing costly fly populations without the extra labor of sprays, backrubs, or ear tags.

Powered by Altosid® IGR (Insect Growth Regulator), this feed-through larvicide passes safely through the animal's digestive tract and deposits directly into fresh manure. It targets horn flies right where they breed, preventing the larvae from developing into biting, disease-carrying adults. Paired with a solid 16% crude protein profile derived entirely from all-natural sources, it feeds critical rumen microbes to optimize forage digestion and support optimal body condition scoring.

Key Features & Benefits

• Altosid® IGR Fly Control: Provides continuous protection by breaking the horn fly lifecycle in the manure of treated cattle, drastically reducing pasture fly pressure.

• Complete Mineral & Vitamin Fortification: Fully fortified with essential macro-minerals, trace elements, and vitamins, eliminating the need to purchase or manage separate pasture minerals.

• Weather-Resistant Poured Tub: The durable poured formulation process withstands harsh weather conditions, resisting breakdown from rain and summer heat to prevent wasteful product runoff.

• Labor-Saving Pasture Efficiency: Packaged in a durable, non-returnable 200 lb tub. Simply drop it into the pasture to provide automatic, 24/7 fly control and nutrition while cutting out daily hand-feeding chore labor.

Pasture Management & Feeding Guidelines

• Flock/Herd Ratio: Provide one 200 lb tub for every 15 to 25 head of cattle. Always place at least two tubs per pasture to ensure smaller calves or timid heifers have equal access and are not crowded away by dominant animals.

• Strategic Timing: Start feeding early in the spring before flies begin to emerge, and maintain continuous use throughout the summer and into late fall until cold weather marks the end of the fly season.

• Placement Strategy: Position tubs near natural congregation spots, such as watering troughs, mineral lines, or shaded loafing areas.

• Intake Adjustment: To step up daily consumption, move the tubs closer to water or high-traffic pathways. To lower consumption, push the tubs further out into the deep pasture lines.

• Note: This premium cattle formula contains added supplemental copper. DO NOT feed to sheep or any copper-sensitive livestock species, as it can cause copper toxicity. Always ensure cattle have continuous access to fresh water and a plentiful supply of forage.
