Customize Your Suga-Lik® Supplement with These Available Feed Additives
- Feed Fat (Choice Yellow Grease)
- Catfish Oil (Available only from U.S. Sugar)
- Altosid® IGR (horn fly control)
- Methionine Hydroxy Analog (by-pass methionine)

What About Urea Toxicity?
Suga-Lik® supplements that contain urea pose virtually no threat for urea toxicity to your cattle. The urea is “buffered” through the use of other ingredients. The combination of these formulation features, the pH of the final feed, as well as the cattle themselves consuming small, frequent meals over the course of the day, effectively create a synchronized release of ammonia and energy to the rumen microbes.
