SarTec’s Receiving, Starting and Finishing (RSF) Program/Cattle Feeding Program is a nice addition to your receiving process. Documented research supports using Yucca at receiving and throughout the feeding program. A cattle feeding trial conducted at Kansas State University further demonstrates these findings. For more information about the RSF Program please call 800-472-7832 within the United States, or contact your local SarTec representative.
RSF – An Easy Three-Step Process:"By using the SarTemp grain conditioner, we don't hardly have any bloat but when we do, the boluses work good. All our stressed and long haul cattle get the drench [SarStart Pro] at receiving. I've run tests time and time again and have seen a big difference. I've even used it on gaunt cattle in the sick pen and it helps get them back to eating and drinking quicker. Drenches come and go but I think this one is here to stay; I wouldn't keep using it if didn't work good."
"Last summer told the story. The loads of incoming cattle that we drenched [SarStart Plus] got on feed right away where the others didn't. It is well worth the benefit. We also give it to cattle in the sick pen. On the sale barn cattle, you can definitely tell the difference. We now give it to all our cattle at receiving."
"We use the higher dose and have seen a reduction of bloat and quicker adaptation to their ration. We're able to get our cattle up to the final ration quicker than we did before we started using SarTemp."
"I mostly use it [SarStart Plus] on unweaned calves and it definitely seems to keep them eating well. The probiotics keep the rumen flora and bacteria going."
"I feel the product [SarStart Plus] helps me start the calves and it's a product worth giving. It helps get the calves to the bunk and eating."
“We use it [SarStart Plus] routinely on incoming, high-stress calves and feel that we're getting off to a better start than in previous years."
"We use it [SarStart Plus & SarStart Plus] on any high-stress cattle and weaning calves at receiving and again when we revaccinate 7 days later. We feel the drench increases their appetite so they more readily come to the bunk; they eat better and drink better."
"We use the higher dose and it [SarTemp] makes a big improvement in flaking the corn; about a 50% improvement over the [previous] product. I also believe it has helped with daily gain. We had several pens of heifers that gained 4.2 lbs./day."

“We gave it to some really sick cattle. We gave it alone to see if the benefit was due to the
SarStart Plus. By the next day the cattle looked a lot better”
“Dosed 390 head, they had been here for 15 days, only pulled 3 head after the
SarStart Plus. I thought for sure we would pull 25% they looked so tough.”
“We have seen a significant reduction in bloat with these Holsteins.”
“We are happy with the reduced number of pulls for bloat.”
