| Content | Brome and orchard grass bales are exceptional forage choices for livestock, offering a diverse blend of grasses that provide numerous benefits for the overall health and productivity of your animals. Here's a detailed description highlighting the benefits of brome and orchard grass bales:
- Nutritional Value: Brome and orchard grasses are known for their excellent nutritional profile. These grasses are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals essential for the growth, development, and overall health of livestock. The balanced combination of nutrients supports muscle development, promotes a strong immune system, and aids in the maintenance of healthy bodily functions.
- Digestive Health: The fiber content in brome and orchard grass bales promotes healthy digestion in livestock. The long, fibrous strands of the grasses encourage proper chewing, saliva production, and rumen function, which are vital for efficient digestion. This can help prevent digestive disorders and improve nutrient absorption, contributing to overall gastrointestinal health.
- Palatability and Forage Consumption: Brome and orchard grasses are highly palatable to livestock, encouraging consistent and adequate forage consumption. The appealing taste and texture of these grasses entice animals to graze and consume their feed, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and productivity. This increased forage intake also helps maintain a healthy weight and body condition in animals.
- Dental Health: The fibrous nature of brome and orchard grasses aids in maintaining proper dental health in livestock. Regular chewing on long strands of grass helps wear down teeth naturally, preventing dental issues such as overgrown molars or sharp edges. This promotes comfortable eating and efficient nutrient utilization.
- Versatility: Brome and orchard grass bales are suitable for a variety of livestock species, including horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. Their versatility makes them an excellent choice for mixed herds or farms with different animal types. The grasses can be fed as the main forage source, mixed with other feeds, or used as a supplement, allowing for flexible feeding strategies to meet the specific needs of each animal.
- Environmental Sustainability: Brome and orchard grasses are often cultivated in a sustainable manner, making them an eco-friendly choice for livestock feed. These grasses are known for their adaptability to different soil types and climates, requiring fewer synthetic inputs such as fertilizers or pesticides. This promotes environmental stewardship and sustainable farming practices.
| This is the original Sweet PDZ product that was introduced in 1983. The key advantage of this small particle size is the fact that a person can more thoroughly and comprehensively cover the wet spot or problem area. This results in a faster acting performance of absorbing and adsorbing the ammonia and odor. Many Sweet PDZ users translate this faster performance to better performance, and will swear that the Sweet PDZ Classic/Powder outperforms Granular.
How it Works
Sweet PDZ is extremely effective at neutralizing and removing ammonia and odors, because of its two special properties:
- Absorption – Which is the sticking of the ammonia gas molecule to the surface of the Sweet PDZ granule. When the Sweet PDZ granules desorb, or dry out, the ammonia odor molecule is driven off the surface of the mineral as nitrogen. This is why spent (used) bedding material that includes Sweet PDZ, works so well as a slow release fertilizer or as an enhancement to composting.
- Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) – This is the liquid exchange aspect of Sweet PDZ’s odor neutralizing process. A sodium or potassium cation from the zeolite granule hydrolyzes (goes to liquid/urine) and the ammonium is exchanged and then becomes part of the Sweet PDZ granule. This liquid exchange works because the Sweet PDZ granules are always holding water.
| Soybean hulls are derived from the processing of soybeans to extract oil and meal, and they possess urease activity, which can pose challenges when included in rations with urea. However, this activity can be eliminated through heat treatment. Once heat-treated, these soybean hulls are known as soybean mill run.
Soybean mill run is a palatable feed option for both cows and calves, offering a substantial amount of easily digestible fiber. Its total digestible nutrient (TDN) value surpasses that of beet pulp and oats, reaching 93 percent of the TDN value found in barley and 88 percent of the TDN value in corn. | All Species tub with a mineral pack excluding copper.

| Whole corn is a staple feed for livestock, providing a rich source of energy, nutrients, and calories. The kernels are packed with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, making it an ideal choice for promoting weight gain, enhancing stamina, and supporting overall health in livestock animals. It can be included in the diet of various livestock species, such as cattle, pigs, and poultry, helping meet their nutritional requirements and contributing to their optimal growth and performance. Whole corn offers several benefits:
- Energy Source: Whole corn is a highly energy-dense feed, rich in carbohydrates and fats. It provides a concentrated source of readily available energy for livestock, supporting their metabolic needs, physical activities, and overall performance.
- Nutritional Balance: Corn kernels contain essential nutrients such as proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Including whole corn in the diet helps ensure a well-rounded nutritional profile for livestock, supporting growth, reproduction, and overall health.
- Weight Gain: The high-calorie content of whole corn makes it an excellent feed option for promoting weight gain in livestock, particularly animals that require additional conditioning, such as beef cattle, swine, and poultry raised for meat production.
- Palatability: Livestock generally find whole corn to be highly palatable, which encourages consistent feed intake. Its appealing taste and texture make it an appetizing feed choice, ensuring animals consume their required daily nutrients.
- Cost-Effective: Whole corn is often more cost-effective compared to other feed options. Its availability and affordability make it an attractive choice for livestock owners, especially for large-scale operations.
- Flexibility: Whole corn can be incorporated into different feeding strategies. It can be fed alone or used as part of a balanced ration, mixed with other feed ingredients, such as grains, protein sources, and forages, to create a customized feed blend that meets specific nutritional requirements.
- Storage Stability: Whole corn has good storage stability, especially when kept in dry conditions. This makes it easier to store in bulk for extended periods, allowing for consistent feed availability throughout the year.
| A mixture of hardy, cool season grasses, that are drought tolerant and adapt well to the Northern Great Intermountain regions.
