The performance and health of your livestock is dependent upon the proper balance of digestive tract bacteria. Newborn animals and newly-hatched birds enter the world with a sterile digestive tract, which is quickly populated with health-promoting bacteria and the much quicker growing, pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately, feed and environmental changes, birthing/laying, weaning, medication and transporting, among other common management practices alter the intestinal environment in ways that favor the disease-causing organisms of animals and birds of any age.
The Answer: Fastrack® Direct-fed Microbials — The Natural Way
The unique combination of natural, live lactic acid-producing bacteria, FOS, yeast, enzymes, vitamins and specialized proteins in the Fastrack® products helps to ensure a healthy digestive tract; enhancing the immune system and defending against pathogenic agents in the digestive tract. Specifically the health-promoting Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium in the animals ‘and birds’ small and large intestines utilize FOS.

Fastrack® Spurs Interest at Livestock Expo
Conklin Fastrack was represented at the 2011 North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in Louisville, KY from November 3-18. National Director Don Benson (MO), District Manager Gina Kuda (MO), Sales Manager Deborah Andrews (GA) and Sales Manager Ian Fawcett (IN) were in attendance, greeting and visiting with customers. Interest in Conklin Animal Products for all species of livestock was keen as producers showed enthusiasm for direct-fed microbial products as a replacement to antibiotics, and to improve the immune function of their animals and increase feed efficiency.
The NAILE is the largest annual livestock exhibition event east of the Mississippi River, and is comparable to the National Western Livestock Show held every January in Denver, CO. Producers, livestock enthusiasts and professionals from all over North America, South America, Australia, Europe and Asia were in attendance. Conklin was excited to have several hundred individuals pass through the Fastrack product booth during the event.
