QLF® Ignite Stress Tubs are designed for young cattle arriving at your feedyard and exposed to stress challenges such as weaning, transportation and co-mingling. Formulated with Zinpro®’s Availa® 4 minerals and Celmanax by VI-COR, the Ignite Stress Tub offers enhanced mineral nutrition to improve performance and overall calf health. It’s also a great option for your beef cows. Feeding it 30 to 60 days prior to breeding helps get your herd in optimum condition to ensure greater conception rates.
What do these ingredients do? Availa 4 minerals provide highly available sources of zinc, copper, manganese and cobalt which are important for optimizing growth and health. Celmanax contains yeast cultures, MOS and Beta-glucan. Yeast maintains feed intake and improving nutrient digestion and milk production. MOS binds pathogenic bacteria and feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Beta-glucan improves the immune function in your animals.
How will this benefit my operation?

How will this benefit my operation?
- In feedlot operations, using Ignite Stress Tubs the first 30 days after calves have arrived will reduce sickness and the need for treatment of sick calves, especially respiratory illnesses.
- Weaning time is stressful for young calves. Using Ignite Stress Tubs reduces the effects of stress from separating the calf from its source of security, the mama cow. Reducing stress on this animal improves its performance due to a healthier digestive system and improved immunity.
- Breeding season for cow-calf operations requires that cows and bulls need to be in optimum condition. Ignite Stress Tubs contain the ingredients to maximize your herd’s health and body condition with the goal of getting a large number of calves during the calving season. You will also experience more cows calving in a shorter window, allowing you the opportunity to sell larger and more uniform groups of calves.
