Keep Livestock Healthy and Feed Costs Lower This Winter with Bio SI's Jackpot All-Natural Probiotic

Ranchers Can Supplement Winter Feedstock with Bio SI's Jackpot Formula

Winter is the time when most farming communities experience cooler temperatures, frozen fields and shorter days of sunlight. The coming transition between fall and winter poses a critical challenge for livestock as weather and temperature fluctuations can lead to certain types of nutrient shortages, less grazing and changes in To combat the potential risks during the winter season, Bio S.I. Technology (www.biositechnology.com) provides ranchers with an all-natural Jackpot Livestock Probiotics formula that improves an animal's ability to absorb nutrients from feed during digestion and to keep livestock healthy when challenging conditions occur.

As temperatures drop in the winter, so does the quantity and quality of a farm's pasture. Not only does vegetation decrease in nutrient content, the daily growth cycle is not as consistent as in the spring and summer seasons. The mix of warm sunny days and cool nights prohibits the full synthesis of sugars in grasses. This reduction in nutrient quality compromises livestock's ability to remain healthy and forces it to eat more than normal. Bio S.I.'s Jackpot Livestock Probiotics bring beneficial, soil-borne microbes found in nature to the animals. Normally, the microbes are picked up from the soil while animals are grazing, but given less access to a grazing area, livestock cannot maintain proper amounts of these microbes in their digestive systems. Ranchers are often forced to spend more on extra feed to make up for this gap.

In addition, the colder, winter weather makes livestock have to work more to maintain homeostasis, an ability of any living thing to regulate its vital conditions at a consistent level. Typically, livestock will need larger quantities of nutritious feed to flourish amidst cooler temperatures throughout winter, speeding up its metabolism to compensate for body heat lost[2] <#_ftn2> . "With Jackpot Livestock Probiotics, the ability to absorb nutrients more effectively, allows animals to gain weight, yet eat less. This safeguards the livestock against losing weight as a result of trying to keep warm and also prepares them for the winter months, in which harsher temperature will demand even more internal body heat regulation," says CEO of Bio S.I. Technology, Wayne Tucker.

Bio S.I.'s Jackpot Livestock Probiotics prevent livestock from digestive problems, as the microbes help maintain the digestive track. Additionally, Jackpot is all-natural with no preservatives or added chemicals to prevent further problems with digestion. By using Jackpot Livestock Probiotics farmers can save money on costs of additional feed to compensate for the season changes, as livestock will better absorb proper nutrients, despite decreased amount of nutrients in the feed.
