Product Details

Description

Tri-Start Bolus is a premium, highly concentrated direct-fed microbial designed specifically for cattle experiencing rumen disruption due to stress, dietary change, or performance demands.

The rumen depends on a balanced microbial ecosystem to efficiently break down fiber and convert feed into usable energy. When that balance is disrupted by transport, illness, feed transitions, or environmental stress , feed intake and performance can decline rapidly.

Tri-Start Bolus delivers a powerful dose of rumen-specific beneficial microbes (100 billion CFU per bolus) to help quickly repopulate and stabilize the rumen environment. These live microorganisms support improved fermentation, enhance fiber digestion, and promote more efficient nutrient utilization.

By restoring microbial balance, Tri-Start helps cattle return to normal intake and performance more quickly while supporting long-term rumen health and productivity.
