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.
Conklin Success Stories
The Power to Change Lives
Don and Connie Benson
To count the number of lives Don Benson has changed is nearly impossible. He has made it his daily practice to give a word of encouragement, timely guidance or a little push when necessary for any nearby Independent Business Owner (IBO), whether in his organization or not. Since he never sits still or limits his influence to his personal organization, he has made a difference with hundreds, perhaps thousands of IBOs in his 15 years as a leader with Conklin.
Don’s passion to help others facing financial challenges and purposeful lives comes from his own personal experiences. Despite working hard all his life as a dairy farmer, Don and Connie were a few mortgage payments away from losing their family farm. Don started in Conklin by using Fastrack® on his dairy herd to increase their production and improve their health, which in turn delivered a noticeable increase in their dairy farm income. Don’s results made him want to share Conklin products with other dairy farmers so they, too, could benefit.
This sharing of the Conklin business helped generate the extra income needed to keep the family farm. By promoting all Conklin product lines and teaching others to do the same, Don and Connie’s new business began to generate financial rewards in just a few months. “Within a few years after starting our Conklin business, our revenues were way more than we ever dreamed possible,” says Don. “When we became District Managers and were consistently earning an extra $1000 each month on average, I became a true believer.”
Don is a prime example of so many Conklin leaders who believe in giving back their riches, both personal and financial, received from Conklin. As a mentor and coach, Don teaches his up-and-coming team members how to listen to their customer’s needs, gather and deliver compelling testimonials, and organize and lead effective product demonstrations and meetings.
Don and Connie’s generous contributions to so many Conklin IBOs have been frequently recognized at Conklin’s National Convention. They have participated in about a dozen Destinations trips that they say “just keep getting better and better every time we go!” Never having missed a National Convention in all their years with Conklin, Don and Connie have won just about every award possible, and in some categories, two and three times. That says it all for the ongoing enthusiasm and devotion this outstanding couple give for their Conklin business.

Probably nothing is more difficult to measure than improvements in embryo transfer, as you have no check strip or control to measure against. Embryo flushing challenges the cow’s whole system. At Herbster Angus Farms, I feel we get 15 to 20 percent more embryos per flush and more number one embryos with the use of Fastrack® Direct-fed Microbials daily.
