The Edge Health, Appearance and Odor Multi-Benefit Formula.
Ingredients: Water, condensed fish solubles, kelp, iron edta, zinc edta, copper edta, charcoal.
These health ingredients are fermented in a proprietary process that creates a PREbiotic formula. Prebiotics are simply amazing. Backed by decades of research, their importance to mammal health is nothing short of phenomonal. The science and awareness of prebiotics has been steadily increasing and now it is common to see prebiotics cropping up in various forms within the agricultural industry as well as used in human consumer products.
Our cutting edge formula is unique in that it is the easiest to use (just spray on feed or water) and it is also economical so that it not only pays for itself, it increases profit.
The following information is a short primer on the role and importance of prebiotic digestive aides in animal management.
PREbiotics for Herd Animals
Prebiotics are food ingredients that beneficially affect the animal by selectively stimulating the growth of certain beneficial bacteria responsible for immune defense, nutritional processing, scours relief and odor control. By maximizing these processes and controlling symptoms, animals have the ability to achieve outstanding results in appearance, health and performance.
Prebiotics are power houses of health.
Organic, natural prebiotics fill an often unmet health need, even in well managed animals and herds. The benefits of adding prebiotics to the diet of your herd are beneficial in three principal areas. 1) Better health through proper nutrient absorption 2) odor control and 3) optimal appearance due to enhanced health.
Proper nutrient absorption - The right food to your stock assures that they maintain good health, prevent disease, prolong life and avoid some veterinarian visits. Feed manufacturers are producing foods that are less processed; contain fewer ingredients that are not a natural part of animal diet and adding vitamins, minerals to enhance health. However, there are numerous factors in modern ranching that contribute to absorption problems in your herd, meaning they don’t get the benefit of all the good ingredients. Stress, change in diet, antibiotics – all of these things can upset digestive balances and interfere with absorption. Indicators of poor digestion can be diarrhea, gas, poor weight gain, overeating, poor immunity and less than optimal appearance. Adding prebiotics encourages the proliferation of beneficial bacteria so a herd animals’ digestive system is less susceptible to external influences.
Odor Control – One of the main contributors to odor is the lack of absorption of protein, which passes through the digestive system and ends up in the animal waste. Since prebiotics set the stage for a balanced digestive environment, animals can naturally process food and protein thoroughly, meaning less protein in the waste and less odor. Additionally, when foods are processed correctly, there can be a significant reduction in waste output over time, a real boon to large herds confined to smaller acreage.
Scours Prevention and Relief - Scours is one of the main annoyances that farmers and ranchers deal with. It not only threatens the health of the animal, it also decreases profit rapidly. The Edge is the scours solution much of the time. It not only treats scours, it can prevent it all together, by ensuring that the good bacterial balance within the digestive tract is supported and stabilized.
Prebiotics have been used and occur in foods for humans as well as animalsand are once again gaining awareness in their own right as a dietary factor that has great health benefits. Their potential for increase in herd health and profit are positioning the Edge formula as one of the best new animal management tools of this decade.
