Premium Nutrition Pays: BioZyme and LiveAg Partner for Profitable Cattle Programs

BioZyme Inc., a leader in animal nutrition and health, has partnered with LiveAg, a rapidly expanding livestock marketing firm. The collaboration positions cattle backed by premium nutrition programs in front of a national, competitive buyer base via LiveAg’s video auction platform and sale broadcasts.

BioZyme Vice President of Commercial Operations, Alan Lee, notes that information and data about cattle management empower buyers to make more informed decisions and improve profitability. If premium nutrition on selling cattle can boost producer returns, BioZyme aims to support that outcome.

LiveAg operates through a nationwide network, coordinating delivery logistics and connecting sellers with buyers as cattle from the ranch are marketed through video auctions. The program recognizes VitaFerm and GainSmart fed cattle within its offerings.

LiveAg CEO Jason Barber states that good cattle start with strong management and partnerships. Accepting programs from BioZyme and following through to delivery day ensures added value is visible and competitive when cattle sell on video.

Performance is driven by nutrition. Research indicates that approximately 70% of the immune response begins in the digestive system. Feeding cattle vitamin and mineral supplements powered by AO-Biotics Amaferm, such as VitaFerm or Gain Smart, supports digestive efficiency, immune function, and overall performance. Amaferm is a research proven prebiotic designed to enhance the gut microbiome and digestibility, supported by more than 150 peer reviewed studies.

Value-Added Programs

Gain Smart, designed for stocker and feeder cattle, promotes optimal growth and health. When used with a sound vaccination protocol, it provides calves with an added buyer recognition. To qualify, cattle must receive Gain Smart mineral supplementation for at least 45 days leading up to auction and continue through delivery. The Gain Smart Value-Added logo communicates that investment to buyers nationwide.

VitaFerm Raised identifies calves from cow-calf operations where the dam received VitaFerm mineral throughout gestation and lactation, or the calf was fed VitaFerm mineral for at least 45 days during preconditioning and continued through delivery. Combined with a robust health protocol and LiveAg marketing, qualified lots receive the VitaFerm Raised badge in auction materials and on-screen during bidding.

In addition to premium opportunities, BioZyme and LiveAg plan joint education for producers using the nutrition and marketing services, enhancing transparency and credibility on sale day.

Lee emphasizes the objective of creating a network that helps producers realize premiums for their efforts.
