StartUp™ Capsule
StartUp™ Capsule contains a concentrated form of selected strains of lactic acid bacteria, live cell yeast and vitamins. The Priority StartUp™ Capsule is recommended for cows that are not eating properly during transition or going through a period of stress to get them back on full feed.

Features
Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Contains proprietary branded strains A4000h™ and A2020™ - naturally occurring strains of bacteria that convert starch and sugars to lactic acid in the rumen. In the intestinal tract it plays a major role in protecting the animal from invasion by pathogens by producing compounds called bacteriocins that kill or inhibit pathogens

Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- Live yeast shown to stimulate rumen bacteria, improve dry matter intake, improve fiber digestion and increase milk production

Vitamins to ensure the cow is getting a daily recommended dose

Benefits
Research has shown:
Aids in getting cow back on full feed during high stress periods

Effective in the rumen and intestinal tract

Breaks down glucose to lactic acid which is further broken down to propionic and
acetic acid

Protects against invasion by pathogenic bacteria
- By binding to sites on the intestinal wall and preventing the pathogen from binding
- By producing compounds called bacteriocins that kill or inhibit pathogens

Fed to dairy and beef cows
- At calving
- Prior to shipping
- After antibiotic therapy
- Off feed or during feed changes

Scientific strain selection using “cutting edge” DNA technology

New molecular-based methods are used to identify (select) unique strains of bacteria (found in the rumen and/or intestinal tract) that correlate to specific (digestive) functions in the animal
- RAPD, Multiplex PCR, DGGE, SSH, Real Time PCR, T-RFLP, FISH, Microarray, Multivariate Statistics/Ordination, Bioinformatics

Includes special moisture scavenger agents for moisture control

Micro-encapsulation methods to ensure stability

BQS (Quality) certified
- Just-in-time manufacturing
- Genetic fingerprinted
- Purity, count, and genotype tested
- High temperature stability tested

Special barrier packaging for protection and stability of microorganisms
