VitaFerm Concept Aid

A reproductive-focused mineral system designed to support cycling, conception, and breeding success when fed in the key reproductive window — commonly 60 days pre-calving through 60 days post-breeding (or around calving through breeding, depending on program).

Concept Aid is built for herds where reproduction matters most: tighter calving intervals, stronger rebreed, and better consistency through breeding season — especially in AI/ET and high-management programs.

Product Variations

A) Loose Mineral (50 lb bags)

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® 5/S (50 lb)
    Foundational 5% phosphorus Concept•Aid mineral (core repro option). Biozyme January 2026 (1)

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® 8/S (50 lb)
    Higher phosphorus option commonly used where forage conditions justify the 8% program approach.

    Premium 10% phosphorus option; commonly positioned as “no added salt” in many retail descriptions.

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Balancer (50 lb)

Heat Stress Versions

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® 5/S HEAT® (50 lb)

    Medicated option — label-driven use only. Biozyme January 2026 (1)

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® 5/S CTC 3G with ClariFly® (50 lb)
    Medicated + fly control option.

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® 5/S HEAT® CTC 3G (50 lb)
    Heat-stress + medicated option.

What Makes Conserve Different

  • Cost-conservative design: built to cover essential vitamin/mineral needs without premium add-ons

  • Includes AO-Biotics® Amaferm®, supporting forage utilization and digestive efficiency

  • Offered in practical variants so you can match conditions:

    • Garlic for insect pressure

    • Mag for grass tetany risk windows

    • CTC / ClariFly for label-specific health and fly-control strategies

Best Fit For

Best fit:

  • Cow–calf herds wanting a mineral specifically designed around reproductive success

  • AI / ET programs needing tighter consistency and better reproductive support

  • Herds entering calving → breeding where mineral intake and nutrition must stay steady

  • Operations that want a single “repro mineral system” with options for:

    • heat stress

    • fly control

    • grass tetany risk windows

    • medicated label-use needs

NOT Ideal For

Concept Aid may not be the best choice if:

  • Your goal is a cheapest-possible maintenance mineral (Concept Aid is purpose-built for reproduction)

  • You need a high-mag spring mineral but select a non-mag formula (choose Mag/S for that window)

  • You want fly control but select a non-ClariFly® option (fly control requires the correct formula + consistent intake)

  • You can’t maintain steady access/consumption (repro minerals work best when intake is consistent)

B) Mineral Tub Option

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Mineral Tub (200 lb)
    Cooked tub format designed for reproductive support programs where tub delivery fits management better than loose mineral. Many product sheets reference ~8 oz/head/day target consumption and typical placement guidance.

C) Protein-Based Concept•Aid Options

These are Concept•Aid “delivery formats” for operations that want reproduction support packaged with protein.

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Protein Meal (50 lb)
    A protein-meal format positioned to deliver Concept•Aid mineral support at the intended feeding rate; often referenced as a fit for mature forages/crop residue contexts.

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Protein Tub (200 lb)
    Protein + Concept•Aid mineral in one tub format (repro-focused convenience).

  • VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Protein Tub with ClariFly® (200 lb)
    Protein + repro mineral + fly control in one tub format.

Key Benefits

  • Economical, complete vitamin and mineral coverage for beef cattle

  • Includes Amaferm to support forage utilization and performance

  • Flexible options for insect pressure, seasonal magnesium needs, or program-specific control strategies

  • Supports consistent intake when managed with a good feeder setup

  • Helps simplify mineral decisions without overspending

When to Choose VitaFerm Conserve

Choose Conserve if:

  • You want a cost-controlled mineral that still includes Amaferm

  • You need a dependable baseline mineral for the whole herd

  • You want optional variants for garlic, high-mag, or fly control/CTC without switching systems

  • You value steady intake and practical results over “bells and whistles”

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
