Molasses Tubs — Using tubs is an easy way to supplement protein, energy and other nutrients to livestock on forage.  These are great for livestock owners who don’t see their cattle each day. You simply drop the tub off and check it every few days.

• The 16% Forage tub (red) from Hudson Livestock can be used for cattle, sheep, goats, horses and other species. This is a cooked tub, meaning that it has had most of the water evaporated out of it, leaving it with less than 4% moisture. This tub is fortified with vitamins & minerals and also contains enzymes & probiotics that increase the digestibility of forages (15-20%) making your hay last longer.  Cattle should consume it at a rate of ½ - ¾ pound per day. Available in 125 and 225 pound tubs. 

• 20% Natural forage extender, another cooked tub from Hudson Livestock. 20% protein, 6% fat, and safe for horses.

•Fly Buster Pro, this medicated molasses tub is 12% protein, 6% fat and contains Altosid insect growth regulator. Altosid controls flies by preventing the eggs from hatching from the manure, breaking the life cycle. For best results, keep tubs out 30 days before emergence till 30 days after the first frost.

• Our 16% All Natural Molasses tub (yellow) from Ragland mills is an inexpensive and convenient way to supplement protein to ruminants and horses. The consumption rate will be higher (½ to 2 pounds per head per day) for these tubs because they are not “cooked”. Available only in 200 pound tubs.

• The 24% Molasses tub (yellow) from Ragland is usually our most economical tub. This higher protein level is achieved from the use of urea (urea is a nitrogenous compound that is created by the body whenever protein is metabolized. When urea is fed to ruminants, the rumen microbes strip the nitrogen off the urea and form protein).  The consumption rate will be higher (½ to 2 pounds per head per day) for these tubs because they are not “cooked”. This tub is only suitable for cattle and is available in 200 pound tubs.

• The 30% All Natural tub (black) from MVP is a cooked tub and has the highest protein level of all our tubs. This tub uses natural plant protein sources with feather meal and contains no urea. This tub is fortified with vitamins and minerals and is suitable for cattle only. Cattle should consume it at a rate of ½ - 1 pound per day. Available only in 200 pound tubs.
