| Pre-Summer Fly Control is Key to Maximize Profit |
As the temperature rises and the pastures become green, one should think about fly control. Did you know that the horn fly alone is responsible for an estimated $700 million dollar loss in the U.S. Beef Industry? Depressed gains, increased feed intakes/decreased feed efficiencies, and pinkeye infections account for the majority of the economic loss due to horn fly infestations. Face flies, stable flies, and common house flies can also cause cattle irritation, causing similar depressions as horn flies. When horn flies reach 100-200 per animal, it is time to consider controlling the population. Better yet, feeding Kay Dee mineral with IGR and CTC before infestations occur can save you money. It is imperative that the feed through insect growth regulators (IGR) are fed early to obtain the greatest benefit. The female horn fly lays its eggs in manure of livestock, beginning a lifecycle of eight to 45 days (depending on the temperature and humidity). It is possible for a horn fly to create a dozen or more generations during the warm spring/summer months. Feeding an IGR mineral prevents the eggs from hatching, and ultimately ends the life cycle of the fly at the earliest stage. Kay Dee Feed Company manufactures most of its popular mineral lines with the combination of CTC and an IGR to help control flies while improving feed efficiency, increasing weight gain, and reducing liver condemnations due to abscesses. Kay Dee mineral with CTC and IGR prevents horn fly larval development in manure, while Kay Dee mineral with CTC prevents fly larval development of horn flies, face flies, house flies, and stable flies.

About CTC...Chlortetracycline (CTC) is an economical broad-spectrum antibiotic for cattle.
Benefits of feeding CTC are:
- Increased weight gain
- Improved feed efficiency
- Control of bacterial pneumonia associated with shipping fever complex susceptible to chlortetracycline
- Reduction of liver condemnation due to liver abscesses in growing cattle (over 400 lbs.)
- For treatment of bacterial enteritis caused by Escherichia coli and bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida susceptible to chlortetracycline (All calves and non-lactating cattle).

Kay Dee FRF Mineral (Foot Rot Fighter) |
| Introducing a NEW product from Kay Dee Feed Company, highly fortified with Albion® Nutri-Sol® chelated zinc, copper, and manganese to encourage a healthy and efficient immune system and and combat foot rot. |
As we face a harsh spring this year with higher than normal moisture, we are also challenged with the possible increased incidence of foot rot.
Foot rot begins as an injury, usually creating an open wound for the opportunistic bacteria (Fusobacterium necrophorum or Bacteriodes melaninogenicus) to invade through cuts, bruises, puncture wounds, or severe abrasions. The first symptom of foot rot is usually lameness, followed by the infection spreading to the claws of the animal causing abscesses characterized by a foul odor. If the infection is not stopped, the infection may invade the deeper tissues of the foot or joints, possibly causing arthritis.
Some nutrition companies recommend a high ethylenediamine dihydriodide (EDDI) mineral to help with the prevention of foot rot. However, data from Virginia Tech College of Veterinary Medicine states that the results are mixed and have not been very satisfactory. Several reasons can validate this claim, since one micro nutrient alone usually cannot prevent the incidence of foot rot. One must examine the interaction of several micro nutrients to actually provide a greater benefit.
This is why Kay Dee Feed Company has designed a new mineral to help prevent foot rot infection. Kay Dee’s FRF (Foot Rot Fighter) Mineral is highly fortified with Albion Nutri-Sol chelated zinc, copper, and manganese to promote a healthy and efficient immune system. Albion field research shows that feeding Nutri-Sol can decrease the incidence of foot rot. Kay Dee FRF is also fortified with increased levels of Vitamins A, D3, and E, which also support the immune system. For severe cases of foot rot seek veterinary care, as this product is not intended to treat foot rot.
FRF mineral is available in weatherized granular form - so you can be assured consistent consumption of a product that won’t blow away. It is also available in a more economical meal form.
