About Loomix® Liquid Supplements
“Loomix is a brand of liquid feed supplements manufactured and distributed by Quality Liquid Feeds, Inc. Loomix supplements are designed to balance cattle diets, enhancing production. With Loomix products this is done by balancing the ration with supplemental protein, vitamins, and minerals in a liquid form. Providing needed nutrients to balance the diet enables cattle to perform better. The concept behind Loomix products is to enhance the ability of the rumen bacterial population to digest forage; thereby increasing the fiber digesting capacity and efficiency of the animal. Increased fiber digestion by cattle consuming Loomix supplements has been proven by university testing, private research and internal company testing. Loomix supplements feed rumen bacteria. These bacteria provide a significant amount of the animal’s energy and protein needs. Since rumen bacteria have very short life spans (some as little as 20 minutes), it is important to maintain a high functioning rumen bacterial population, and Loomix supplements do just that. Fueling the rumen bacterial population enables the animal to more fully utilize consumed forage; thus, increasing the overall efficiency of digestion. Loomix supplements are known for controlled intake. The palatability of Loomix supplements can be easily altered from very sweet to very bitter products to control intake based on grazing conditions. A combination of sweet and bitter products are on every Loomix dealer’s delivery truck that supplies Loomix supplements direct to producers’ cattle operations. Loomix products are blended onsite to ensure consumption control; ensuring cattle only received the needed amounts of supplemental nutrients. When you purchase Loomix liquid feed supplements you get more! Loomix supplements fill the gap between what forage delivers and what cattle require.
