Chances are you’ve already started combing through the
pastures of your favorite breeders and sales will start in earnest over the
next couple weeks. Whether you have one
that you spotted in the pasture or not soon you'll be bringing that next champion home and we want you to get off to the best possible start so we have been working hard to improve our already popular TrueGlo Cr Beef.
While the steer you’ll lead into the ring in 2018 was
following mom around the pasture here at True North we were working on a brand
new formulation for TrueGlo Cr Beef. We
are always striving to improve our products and apply the results of both
external and internal research to make innovative solutions. The new TrueGlo Cr
Beef is a result of that research and development work.
The end result, of the new formulation is a very
concentrated product and over 180 days of product in a bucket.
The components of the new TrueGlo Cr Beef are:
11. PreVent our patent pending formulation that is
proven in field trial od well over a million head of cattle on feed to reduce sickness and improve performance. It’s been part of our
TrueGlo family of products since the beginning.
22. Duoport GPX from Omni Animal Health is a unique
formulation of Amino Acid Chelated Trace minerals that are highly available and
are proven to reduce chronic oxidative stress and improve performance in over
200,000 head of cattle in field trials.
33. Chromium propionates has always been part of the
TrueGlo Cr family of products, It is a
highly available source of chromium and the only legal source for cattle. Chromium increases insulin efficiency and
glucose uptake that is critical for proper cellular functions. On a macro level that improved cellular
function has consistently resulted in increased muscle mass. When you feed chromium propionate from the beginning
of the feeding period that increased muscle can be on par with the increase in muscle
from beta agonists.

You can learn more about PreVent on our website and how it
nutritionally supports the immune system has repeatedly reduced the number of
sick cattle in trials and has consistently improved white blood cell counts and
activity. The PreVent video we created
for feed yards is something you can view here. PreVent Video
We began working with Duoport GPX a couple years ago. Chronic
oxidative stress is the long-term buildup of metabolic toxins cattle experience
during periods of growth and energy production.
There are both anatomical and physiological reasons for chronic
oxidative stress but the result is reduced performance, reduced hair growth,
lameness associated with hoof integrity and ultimately it can lead to a metabolic
crisis like AIP.
Trace minerals are required for the body to make the enzymes
it needs to eliminate these toxins. The problem is that cattle cannot absorb
enough of traditional trace minerals. Since Duoport GPX is a true amino acid
chelate it can be absorbed in the small intestine through the same mechanism
cattle absorb amino acids from protein in effect this more than doubles the
ability of cattle to absorb trace minerals. In recent studies cattle fed Duoport GPX have
statistically significant improved antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation.
In short, the metabolic engines in these cattle simply run cooler.
We have been working with chromium in trials for almost a
decade and the results are very consistent. On a cellular level chromium works
by improving the efficiency of insulin by a factor of 8 so that cells can take
up glucose more efficiently. What that
means to the animal is improved muscle volume an improved immune response and
better heat tolerance. We have conducted
numerous trials with chromium propionate over the years and the results have consistently
shown increased muscle growth particularly when cattle are fed supplemental
chromium from the beginning of the feeding period.
To sum up TrueGlo Cr Beef is a unique combination that has
been proven in trials with hundreds of thousands of cattle to support immune
function, increase muscle mass, reduce oxidative stress, and improve
performance. Put True North to work in
your show barn as soon as you bring that next champion home and get them off to
the right start and keep that competitive advantage all the way to the end. You’ll
be blown away by the results.
