All-in-One 30% Tub (patent #5,622,739) is a new and unique concept not yet described in any of the literature. All-in-One Tub has a swirled vein of added loose minerals, proteins, and salt encapsulated inside of the hard crystallized molasses mix which offers alternate timing of intake of the encapsulated ingredients.
We find that the rumen micro flora can have variable mineral requirements than that of the host animal. When the animal is near its maintenance level of nutrition, the micro flora suffer from less than adequate levels of minerals. Under these conditions the animals’ feed intake is lower, free-choice mineral intake is low or non-existent, and poor quality feed is generally low in mineral content and availability.
Intuitively, the animal seeks out the additional protein in the molasses protein supplement and then it is presented fresh clean mineral (from the vein) as it is uncovered. The cattle readily consume the mineral under these conditions; digestion increases, forage consumption then increases; and if there is adequate forage – productivity resumes and the animal will voluntarily consume additional free-choice mineral.
Presenting the loose mineral mixture along with the regular molasses mix provides mineral in a fresh and palatable condition at all times. The question arises – why not raise the levels of protein and mineral in the molasses mix? We have tried this approach and did not get the same results! In testing the All-In-One Tub, we have found increased performance with 40% to 50% less consumption as compared to our previous supplements. The numbers are quite impressive – reducing consumption of supplement, while increasing performance!

When cattle are on poor dry feed, at maintenance or below levels of nutrition, they have little physiological drive to consume minerals. But when animals are provided loose minerals together with the hard molasses protein supplement under these conditions, the resulting increased rate of microbial growth does two things; it increases the animal’s productivity and in turn the animal will then consume mineral free-choice in addition to the All-In-One minerals. You have actually “primed the pump” so to speak by increasing the rate of digestion (increasing microbial growth), taken the animal above maintenance levels of nutrition, and created natural demand for minerals.
On top quality green feed the opposite occurs. The animal’s physiological demand for protein and energy does not exist, but because of the high rate of gain, the physiological demand for mineral is exceedingly high. Therefore, the animal is attracted to the All-in-One 30% Tub supplement for the loose minerals and salt. Then what you have done is “prime the pump” again to maximize microbial growth, but now the animal consumes a complete protein that results in additional growth increase, additional feed consumption, and a higher rate of feed digestion. It is a given fact that, on medium to high protein green feed, additional balanced protein will improve digestion and assimilation by the animal.
For all stages of cattle on pasture and in the feedlot
