Not all lick tubs are created equal—and what’s in them directly impacts herd performance, digestion, and consistency of intake.
Traditional mineral tubs often prioritize salt and basic mineral delivery, which can lead to sporadic consumption patterns. Cattle may overconsume one day and ignore it the next, creating fluctuations in nutrient intake. Many are also filler-heavy, meaning you’re paying for bulk—not function—and they offer little to no direct support for rumen health, where true feed efficiency begins.
CattlActive is built differently.
By incorporating natural protein sources and functional ingredients, it actively supports the rumen—the engine of digestion. A properly supported rumen microbiome helps maintain optimal pH, encourages beneficial microbial activity, and improves the breakdown of forage. That means cattle are not just eating… they’re actually getting more out of what they consume.
With consistent use, this translates to:
✔️ More efficient nutrient absorption
✔️ Better forage utilization
✔️ Improved consistency in intake
✔️ Reduced digestive stress during transitions
✔️ Stronger rumen function and overall gut health
Consistency is everything in herd nutrition. When cattle consume nutrients at a steady rate—and their rumen is supported to function at its best—you create a foundation for growth, performance, and long-term herd health.
Because a tub shouldn’t just give them something to do…
it should actually do something for them.
