A method and composition designed especially to reduce livestock adaptation stress when livestock are transported. The composition comprises as major ingredients, molasses, preferably beet molasses, and propylene glycol and as minor ingredients, protein mix, vitamin mix, trace mineral mix, major mineral mix, and amino acids. Each of the ingredients are separately admixed with propylene glycol until substantial homogeneity is achieved, followed by adding each of the separately mixed ingredients to beet molasses. Thereafter, mixing is continued until complete homogeneity is achieved. The result of individual mixing of each minor ingredient with propylene glycol, prior to admixing all with beet molasses, provides a synergistic result in significantly reducing livestock stress during adaptation to new feed lot environments. The correction of the stress results in improved performance and reduced death loss. |
