TRT™ Total Replacement Technology for Improved Animal Performance
The TRT™ (Total Replacement Technology) program is the total replacement of inorganic trace minerals such as sulfates and oxides in the ration with organic trace minerals in the forms of Bioplex® and Sel-Plex®. Organic minerals have demonstrated the ability to be absorbed more efficiently within animals leading to more responsive immune systems, higher reproductive efficiencies, and increased weight gains. University and commercial research demonstrate the advantages of the inclusion of TRT™ in management of mineral nutrition programs.
Cattle Mineral Benefits
Supports Immune Function And Overall Health
Feeding More Available Trace Minerals In Smaller Amounts
Greater Bioavailability Which Leads To More Mineral Absorption
Contributes To Reproductive Performance
Optimizes Meat Quality
Enhanced Product/Vitamin Stability
A SMARTER APPROACH TO TRACE
Why organic mineral form matters.
TRT™ Total Replacement Technology replaces inorganic trace mineral sources – including sulfates and oxides – with organic trace minerals from Bioplex® and Sel-Plex.
Superior Bio-availability
Absorbed more efficiently within animals, leading to responsive immune systems and faster metabolic function.
Higher Weaning Weights
Commercial range trials demonstrate significant herd weight gains averaging +21.5 lbs per calf.
Enhanced Reproduction
Proven multi-generational improvements in conception rates, heifer development, and early puberty.
Optimized Immunity
Significantly elevated colostrum IgG levels in newborn calves for robust early-life health.
BUILT FOR PRODUCTIVE CATTLE
Designed to help mineral nutrition work harder across the heard – supporting today’s performance and the next generation.
TRT™ Research & Performance
The Research Behind Better Herd Potential
Cow/Calf Research Data
Performance seen across the data set.
TRT™ groups show higher average pregnancy rates and heavier average weaning weights than inorganic mineral groups in the reported university and commercial data.
