IntelliBond and Trace Minerals


Listen Later

Welcome back to the American Cattlemen Podcast. Just ahead, we have Dustin Hector, he's the director of business development for the American Cattlemen Media Group, and he sits down with Dr. Chance Farmer, Beef Technical Manager for Selko. 

Dr. Chance Farmer, the beef technical manager, provides insights into the company's groundbreaking research and the potential benefits of their hydroxy forms of copper, zinc, and manganese.
A significant highlight of the discussion was the heat stress trial conducted at Iowa State University, which demonstrated the remarkable capabilities of IntelliBond zinc. The study revealed that cattle treated with IntelliBond showed improved resilience during heat stress events, with notable differences in dry matter intake, gut barrier function, and immune response compared to traditional zinc sulfate treatments.
Dr. Farmer emphasized the product's ability to address critical challenges in cattle production, particularly around animal health and performance. The research suggests that IntelliBond can potentially improve fertility, embryo quality, and weaning weights by supporting better gut health and immune function. This is particularly crucial given the industry's ongoing concern about animal health and its direct impact on profitability.
The conversation highlighted SELCO's commitment to scientific research, with Dr. Farmer noting that their approach is always driven by rigorous scientific validation. The company aims to continue exploring the potential of IntelliB0ond, focusing on understanding its impact on gut health and immune response in cattle.
What makes IntelliBond particularly attractive to producers is its cost-effectiveness. Dr. Farmer pointed out that for a relatively small investment of $2.50 to $3.50 per cow annually, producers could potentially see significant improvements in animal performance, including increased weaning weights and better overall herd health.
The podcast underscores the importance of innovative nutritional solutions in modern cattle production, demonstrating how advanced mineral supplementation can make a meaningful difference in agricultural productivity.
