When cattle experience heat stress, gains often stall. As temperatures rise, intake drops and digestion becomes less efficient—leading to weight loss and reduced profitability. That’s why Gain Smart® includes a powerful combination of AO-Biotics® Amaferm® and BioZyme® HEAT technology. This duo helps cattle manage internal heat load, improve forage utilization, and stay productive even in the hottest conditions.
Cattle heat stress leads to lower forage intake and less efficient digestion, which can significantly impact performance. Gain Smart helps fight back with a nutritional edge. Amaferm improves fiber digestion, while HEAT technology helps cattle better regulate their internal temperature.
This means more nutrients are absorbed from every bite—supporting consistent gains when the heat is working against you. That helps cattle adapt to and perform during heat-stress.
During periods of cattle heat stress, appetite drops—but nutritional needs don’t. Gain Smart helps cattle make the most of reduced intake by improving digestion and energy extraction. The HEAT technology blend includes ingredients like capsaicin to help manage internal heat, while Amaferm enhances nutrient availability.
This dual approach helps cattle maintain average daily gain (ADG) during tough summer conditions—supporting performance and profitability despite environmental challenges.
No matter the size or type of your operation, cattle heat stress is a reality you can’t ignore. Gain Smart is built to perform whether you’re running cattle on fescue or native rangeland. By addressing nutritional gaps, supporting gut health, and helping mitigate the effects of high heat, Gain Smart keeps your cattle gaining—no matter the season.
Heat stress doesn’t just affect comfort. It impacts digestion, health, and bottom-line performance. Gain Smart fights back by combining the proven digestive benefits of Amaferm with BioZyme’s HEAT technology, supporting thermoregulation from the inside out.
The cumulative effects improve overall performance in heat-stressed cattle. Cattle on Gain Smart are more likely to stay on track with gains—even in high heat—helping you hit weight targets without setbacks.
