Product Details
On-Farm Results

BOVINE ACCELLYTE II is a research-backed hydration and electrolyte supplement designed for adult cows, calves, and growing cattle. This unique formulation delivers energy, electrolytes, and osmolytes to help maintain hydration, feed and water intake, production, and reproductive performance during heat stress, transportation, freshening, or illness.

  • Supports hydration and electrolyte balance for optimal water absorption
  • Promotes feed and water intake during stress
  • Helps maintain milk production, growth, and reproduction
  • Reduces heat stress symptoms like panting and lethargy
  • Flexible feeding: top-dress, mix with TMR, or add to water supply
  • Can be fed continuously during heat stress or around specific stress events
  • Available sizes: 10 lb. pail and 25 lb. bag

 

Description

Ideal for:

  • Heat stress in dairy or beef cattle
  • Fresh cows and transition animals
  • Transportation stress and receiving cattle
  • Feed changes or ration adjustments
  • Sick pen cattle or recovery periods
  • Show cattle before and after transport
  • Growing calves and young stock during hot weather

Maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance helps cattle stay on feed, reduce panting, and maintain performance during challenging conditions.

On-farm results

An on-farm study of 23 Midwest dairy herds evaluated conception rates during heat stress months.

Across 2023 and 2024 (19,000+ inseminations):

  • Herds using BOVINE ACCELLYTE II had a +7.3% conception rate advantage
  • 0 of 23 herds using the product experienced conception drops greater than 20%
  • 60% of herds not using the product experienced conception drops greater than 20%

These results suggest hydration and electrolyte support may help reduce the reproductive impact of summer heat stress.

Adult dairy or beef cattle

  • 1–2 oz per head per day, top-dress, mix with TMR, or add to water
  • For transportation: 2–3 oz per head per day, 3–7 days before shipping or after receiving

Show cattle

  • 1–2 oz per head per day, starting one week prior to transport, continue during the show and two days after returning

Young & growing cattle

  • ¼–½ oz per head per day. Feed daily with feed or water during heat stress or dehydration risk
  • Tip: Feed during the coolest part of the day for intake

Feeding options:

  • Mix into TMR for group feeding
  • Top-dress individual animals
  • Dissolve in stock tanks or water buckets
  • Feed continuously through summer heat stress

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place and keep container tightly closed when not in use.

Active Ingredients

  • Electrolytes to support hydration and fluid balance
  • Energy sources to support metabolism during stress
  • Osmolytes that help improve water and electrolyte absorption

This combination is designed to help cattle retain fluids and maintain electrolyte balance during stressful conditions.
