OVERVIEW
FLY-BYE360™ is an ultra-concentrated lick tub, just like the original PG360® formula. Every ounce of the tub is packed full of beneficial components, which allows animals to meet their nutritional requirements with very small amounts of product.

CONTAINER OPTIONS
Hey. It's Ashley Ketner with Riomax. Today, we're gonna talk about the two hundred and fifty pound container option. It's about roughly eighteen and a half inches tall, twenty four inches in diameter. This particular tub option comes eight on a skid. So it'll be four tubs per layer, two layers high. We do not recommend stacking them any higher than that.
Hey. It's Ashley Ketner with Riomax. Today, we're gonna talk about the one hundred and twenty five pound biodegradable container style. As you can see, it's a lot shorter than the two fifty. It's twelve and a quarter inches tall, twenty and a half inches in diameter. The shape is an octagon and with this lip that you see here, makes it for a really good handle to pick up and move to bring out to the pasture. Since this is biodegradable, the beauty of this design is that you don't have to go out there and chase plastic tubs around the pasture, and the cattle will actually just go ahead and consume the tub as they're licking on the product itself. Itself. So as they're going through it, it'll just go ahead and go right down to the bottom, and then that's it. This particular tub option comes with fifteen on a skid, and there'll be three layers of five tubs. And we don't recommend you stack them any higher than that.
Hey. It's Ashley Ketner with Riomax. Today, we're gonna talk about the one hundred and twenty five pound plastic container style. This container is roughly eleven and a half inches tall and twenty one and a half inches in diameter. This container style is half of what a two hundred and fifty pound tub would be, so it's a little bit easier to maneuver and handle. This container style is fantastic for smaller paddock sizes or pastures. For example, a bull pasture where there's just fewer animals. It's also a fantastic option for rangeland where you can use a few more tubs to use as feeding stations to pull the cattle into areas where they don't frequently travel to. With this container style, there is sixteen per ton, and it will come in three layers of four tubs. We don't recommend stacking them any higher than three layers because it may get tippy and fall over.
Hey. It's Ashley Ketner with Riomax. Today, we're gonna talk about the BioBrix. The BioBrix is sixty pounds worth of product. It is seven and a quarter inches tall, fifteen and a quarter inches wide, and roughly twenty two inches long. This container style has lips on both sides for easy handling. This was originally designed for using with pack horses heading to the mountains. Another awesome feature with this tub style is that it's biodegradable. So with that, when cattle are licking on the product itself, they will go ahead and eat on the sides, and that's perfectly fine. It is safe for them. As they lick on it, it will go down, and then you have nothing you have to go back out there and pick up. One of the beautiful benefits of that is government land, especially with majority of those situations, they don't allow plastic. Another benefit to this tub style is the flexibility of being on range country or in smaller paddocks or pasture sizes. The BioBrix comes with thirty six tubs on a skid. It will be three layers of six with plywood boards in between, then there will be a pallet and another three layers of six tubs. And we do not recommend that you stack them any higher than that.
CALCULATE COST
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Be aware that there are several factors we cannot determine that do affect your cost and consumption including, but not limited to:
- Current Body Condition/Stage of Production
- Animal Size
- Health Status
- Weather & Location
- Water & Feed Quality
- & More!
It is challenging to determine exact costs when there are so many variables. If you wish to get a quote customized further to your operation or have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a shout at 888-848-4765!
We'll be upfront with ya. Our products DO have a higher upfront price than many others on the market. BUT, on a cost per head per day basis, which is where the rubber meets the road, the price is the same or many times less than competitor products. Additionally, they are very concentrated products, which means they will last 2-3 times longer than other tubs out there.
Keep in mind that when feeding Riomax®, there is no need to supplement any additional mineral - so you can subtract that cost as well.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should I feed FLY-BYE360?
FLY-BYE360™ can actually be fed year-round, although many producers choose to feed it just during the summer months, switching back to one of our formulas without fly control for winter. To ensure maximum fly control, it's recommended to begin feeding it 30 days before the last frost in the spring all the way through to 30 days after the first frost in the fall.
FLY-BYE360™ has self-regulating forage balancer technology that enables it to fill nutrition needs no matter the season, location, or forage.
Feeding a mineral supplement continuously, with fly control or not, gives animals an even nutrition plane, and users typically see consumption averaging at the low end when using it year-round.
WHAT IS THE CONSUMPTION OF FLY-BYE360™?
For a cow the recommended rate is 1/8 to 1/3 pound per head per day.
