Crystalyx Breed-Up 25 AN Tub 200 lb

Crystalyx Breed-Up 25 AN Low Moisture Block (200 lb Tub)

Optimize your herd's reproductive performance and calf crop percentages. Crystalyx Breed-Up 25 AN is an ultra-premium, self-fed protein and mineral supplement specifically engineered for beef cattle on pasture. It is tailored to bridge major nutritional gaps during high-demand periods like pre-calving, early lactation, and the critical 45-day window leading up to breeding season.

This high-performance formula provides 25% crude protein alongside an advanced bypass protein profile (rumen-undegradable protein), ensuring critical amino acids bypass early digestion to safely fuel tissue development, milk output, and rapid recovery. Powered by a complete premium mineral package featuring 100% Bioplex® organic trace minerals, Breed-Up 25 AN delivers highly bioavailable zinc, copper, and manganese that are much more readily absorbed by the animal's system to maximize reproductive tract tone, support seamless cycles, and elevate conception rates.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Performance 25% Protein & Bypass Profile: Blends premium proteins to fortify cattle grazing on early or late-season pastures, moderate to low-quality hays, and ammonia-treated forages.

• 100% Bioplex® Organic Trace Minerals: Fortified with cutting-edge organic trace minerals that closely mirror natural plant forms, maximizing absorption rates to improve elite herd fertility, immunity, and overall body condition.

• Weather-Proof, Cooked Block Technology: Features an ultra-dense, low-moisture molasses footprint that completely resists wind, rain, and extreme seasonal temperatures without melting, dissolving, or freezing.

• Self-Limiting & Economical Payout: The rock-hard, dehydrated texture prevents cattle from biting or chewing the block, naturally restricting consumption to a predictable, lick-only flow.

• Boosts Forage Digestibility: Stimulates critical rumen microflora, allowing your cows to extract more energy and nutrition from coarser, fibrous pasture stems.

Pasture Management & Feeding Guidelines

• Herd Ratio: Feed at the rate of one 200 lb container for every 20 to 30 head of beef cattle. Place a minimum of two containers per pasture to ensure smaller or timid heifers get their equal share.

• Expected Intake: Cattle typically consume a self-limiting 0.5 to 1.1 pounds per head daily.

• Grazing Management Strategy: Position containers initially where cattle loaf (near water or shade). Once acceptable intake levels are achieved, move the tubs to underutilized pasture zones to improve uniform grazing distribution and forage cleanup.

• Nutritional Connection: Cattle must have free access to clean, fresh water and a plentiful supply of roughage at all times. Provide loose salt free-choice.

• Note: This product contains added supplemental copper. DO NOT feed to sheep or any copper-sensitive species. Ensure cattle are not starved for salt or other nutrients prior to introducing this block.
