Vita Charge Stress Tub

A cooked, self-fed stress-support tub designed to help cattle keep eating and drinking and support digestive stability during stress and recovery periods (weaning, hauling, weather swings, receiving, processing, show/travel, etc.).

Vita Charge® Stress Tubs are built around a heavy “stress stack” approach: vitamins + B vitamins + Amaferm® to support digestion and intake when cattle are most likely to fall off feed and water.

Product Variations

Standard Stress Tub

  • Vita Charge® Stress Tub (50 lb)

  • Vita Charge® Stress Tub (200 lb)

Heat-Stress Version

  • Vita Charge® Stress Tub HEAT® (50 lb)

What Makes This Tub Different

  • Amaferm® advantage: positioned as a digestive support prebiotic to help cattle better utilize what they’re eating—especially valuable when stress disrupts normal intake patterns.

  • Heavy vitamin + B vitamin support for stress windows (commonly highlighted in Vita Charge literature and product descriptions).

  • Cooked tub convenience: allows cattle to get consistent support without adding another daily “chore” or handling event.

Best Fit For

Best fit:

  • Weaning and post-weaning periods when intake is inconsistent

  • Receiving/transition cattle (new pen, new ration, new environment)

  • Hauling/travel and show season when you need cattle to keep drinking

  • Heat-stress conditions (use the HEAT® variation)

  • Producers wanting a hands-off delivery method (no extra daily handling)

NOT Ideal For

This tub may not be the best choice if:

  • You need a true protein supplementation strategy for forage gaps (this is a stress/intake support tool first)

  • You want a product that “changes cattle overnight” without consistent access (stress tubs work best with steady availability)

  • You’re placing tubs where only dominant cattle can access them (intake consistency matters)

Key Benefits

  • Supports digestive stability during stress and recovery

  • Promotes feed and water intake consistency when cattle are challenged

  • Convenient, self-fed delivery (no extra handling required)

  • HEAT® option available for hot weather stress periods

When to Choose Vita Charge® Stress Tub

Choose this product if:

  • You’re heading into a known stress window (weaning, hauling, receiving, major weather shifts, show travel)

  • You want a “set it out and let them regulate” support tool instead of another daily top-dress routine

  • You want an option that specifically emphasizes intake + digestion support during stress

  • It’s hot and you want the HEAT® version for summer conditions

Compliance & Notes

  • Medicated versions must be used according to label and veterinary guidance

  • ClariFly® products require proper intake for effective fly control

  • Mineral intake varies with forage, water, and management
