LIVESTOCK FLY CONTROL MINERAL TUB
AVERAGE COST: $0.37 PER HEAD PER DAY
Increase conception rates by 3 - 10%! Fewer open cows and more calves come fall means more money in your pocket.
Achieve 15 - 30% forage savings by better utilizing your existing resources. Improving digestion efficiency helps your herd get more out of every mouthful so your pastures last longer and you save hay.
With Altosid IGR as part of the formula, PG360-IGR™ is designed to break the lifecycle of the horn fly. According to anOklahoma State University study by Central Life Sciences, controlling horn flies with Altosid IGR can produce daily weight gain as much as 15.8% greater than cattle not on IGR.
PG360-IGR™ is an ultra-concentrated lick tub. Like the original PG360™ tub, the high concentration of PG360-IGR™ allows animals to meet their nutritional requirements with very small amounts of product.
Because it's highly concentrated, PG360-IGR™ has a low consumption rate - between 1/8 and 1/3 of a pound per head per day. This low consumption ensures your cost per day is kept in check. Plus, PG360-IGR™ is backed up by our COSTGUARD90 Consumption Guarantee! Take the risk off your shoulders!
We understand that flies can be detrimental to the performance of your livestock. That's why the PG360-IGR™ formula includes Altosid IGR, which is specifically designed to fight horn flies.

When should I feed PG360-IGR?
Altosid IGR recommends that you put out your IGR tubs out before you see the first flies, and have it out until your first hard frost. If you follow these guidelines you will get the best results.
If you wait until flies are all over the cows, they have already become a problem, you then have to break the life cycle of the fly. When this happens, it can take much longer to get on top of your fly problem.
IGR works by the cow ingesting it (in the form of the PG360-IGR Riomax® formula), where it then moves through the digestive tract and ends up in the manure. Here, the fly larvae feed off of it and die; thus breaking that horn fly cycle.
For a cow the recommended rate is 1/8 to 1/3 pound per head per day.
One thing to understand is you will never get rid of all of the flies. The important thing to focus on is where the economic impact starts.
Studies have shown that fly populations of around 200 flies per cow do not cause an economic impact. Left untreated, there can be up to 4,000 flies per animal - that's when stress, weight loss, and disease come in and costs you big time!
