Heifers aren’t adding to the bottom line until they are sold or calve. Frame size is positively correlated to reaching puberty earlier, and optimizing heifer growth—building frame and encouraging skeletal and muscular development—starts by managing the rumen. An efficient rumen, along with proper nutrition, helps heifers effectively convert feed into stature and size without overconditioning.

Bigger heifers can be bred earlier and enter the milking string sooner. By supplying amino acids, peptides and nonprotein nitrogen—the building blocks rumen microbes need for bacterial protein production—FERMENTEN^® helps heifers reach breeding size faster.
