UltraCruz® Livestock Probiotic Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs

  • Diverse range of beneficial microorganisms
  • Highly concentrated CFU (Colony Forming Units)
  • Prebiotics for additional microflora support
  • For use in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs
  • Offered in an easy-to-feed pellet

UltraCruz® Livestock Probiotic Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs is beneficial to aid in maintaining digestive health during stressful events or changes in diet. An imbalance of intestinal flora can affect weight gain or loss. Some microbial strains have been shown to improve weight loss while others benefit weight gain; however, the proper balance for one animal may not be the same as the next. UltraCruz® Livestock Probiotic Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs was formulated to contain a diverse range of proven microbial strains to help ensure that your animal's needs are met. Provided in easy-to-feed pellet or powder forms.

Probiotics for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs - A large black cow

Each animal has their own unique intestinal microflora, thus requiring different needs for probiotic species. It is difficult to determine which microbial species are needed most, therefore, UltraCruz® Livestock Probiotic Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs is formulated to contain a collection of key Probiotics and Prebiotics to help maintain digestive health in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. This supplement contains some of the key microbial strains such as Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum.

Prebiotics are sources of non-digestible, soluble fiber that serve as food for Probiotics, also known as the "good bugs", to help increase the number of beneficial bacteria present in the large intestine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If you are finding that your currentIf you are finding that your current probiotics are not working for your cattle, this is the product you have been looking for! My goats also love it. We use this for shows and at home. Any time an animal seems to be off feed or have an upset stomach we give them a good dose of the UltraCruz Probiotic. The product works every time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great stuff!Moved out of state with my goats, including a 16 hour drive. I fed probiotics about a week before the move (along with the livestock calm supplement) and between the move and the move and the diet change (local hay AND grain are different, as well as browse) I have had zero issues! Everyone is acting their normal bright self with healthy digestive systems. This stuff is great, and this is the third time I’ve used this product on stressed (or potentially stressed) animals and each time I’ve had consistently fantastic results!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Helps Prepare Goats for TransitionsOur goat herd has undergone a lot of stress over the past several months; kidding season, transition from winter barn life to pasture, goats be sold and herd dynamics shifting, etc. Knowing this was coming we proactively started using Ultra Cruz probiotics and our herd’s conditioning has maintained better than all the years we have been in Vermont. Very happy with the results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We have been using the UltraCruz® Livestock Probiotic Supplement any time an animal has a potential to have their gut flora disturbed, like feed changes or illness. Most frequently we have used it for bottle calves who are new on the farm, we put it in every bottle until they have adjusted to their new feeding program. Thanks Santa Cruz for another great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game changer for show cattle in summerI bought this just over a month ago and my show heifers are doing so much better! With it being the hottest time of summer they were slowing down on feed intake. This product has helped them maintain and ever increase their intake and also has made there manure so much healthier and pretty much stopped any diarrhea problems!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from They love itBought this product and I was honestly concerned my dairy goats would not like it. We have used another water soluble product for years. That company changed ingredients and packaging without consumer info. That displeased me. I am so happy with this product! It is going to be our new additive and the goats love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from show steersI have been using this product for my show steers for 2 years. If a calf has ever had any ruminant issues or lost appetite, this product has solved the issue. Some of my club calves would not gain and or eat without it. It is a great product and would recommend it to anyone.
