BREEDER BALANCER AND MINERAL PRODUCTS
THE SS BREEDER BALANCER LINE UP IS A COMPLETE SOURCE FOR ALL YOUR ORGANIC MICRONUTRIENTS.
FEATURING ADDED TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP IMPROVE OVERALL GI HEALTH AND REDUCE THE RISK OF ABORTION.
These top-quality micronutrients are more bioavailable to the female, which can translate into improved Selenium and Vitamin E delivery in the colostrum to the babies. The improved immune support from the SS Breeder Balancers may also improve the quality of the antibodies in the colostrum of the moms.
The importance of the high-quality micro nutrients in late gestation can improve the brown fat deposits in babies, which is key to the early energy needed for the young stock to burn off during the first 24 hours of life.
USING THE RSG NUTRITION LINE UP CAN TRANSLATE INTO HEALTHIER BABIES WITH INCREASED PRODUCTION .
THE SS BREEDER
BALANCER NUTRITION LINE UTILIZES THE FOLLOWING:
• Multiple natural protein sources to provide a balanced Amino Acid profile
• A hard, consistent and small pellet to reduce sorting
• Natural flavoring to improve palatability
• Naturally-sourced vitamins and chelated minerals to improve absorption
• Added essential oils and extracts to improve gut health, bind toxins, and increase blood flow
• Added Molybdenum to bind excess copper
• PHASE 1 through 7 •

“We have been refining this nutrition line since 2008 and some of the biggest club lamb and goat breeders in the country have been using it for several years with great success. We feel now is the time to make it more readily available to help others seeking to improve their reproductive success.”
— DR. TAD THOMPSON, DVM“We have been feeding the RSG Balancer SS pellet for 4 years in our ewe ration. During that time our flock health, body condition, and conception rates have improved dramatically! We have 100% confidence that RSG nutrition is a wise investment!”
“We believe that the RSG nutritional products are just another step in trying to accomplish conception rates that make the whole A.I. process successful. The last thing that you want to cut cost on is nutrition when your trying to flush or A.I. your ewes. Semen can be expensive but if your ewes do not settle your A.I. bills look extremely out of proportion. If the ewes settle, it will make the nutritional expenses and A.I. process look cheap in the grand scheme of total expenses.”
“We started our donors and recips on RSG’s Breeder Balancer four years ago. We had dramatic improvements in not just our transferable embryo average, but also our embryo retention. We recommend RSG’s nutrition program to anyone considering or already flushing and A.I.’ing ewes.”
“Maximizing production and consistency in our embryo programs is something we are heavily focused on. Since the introduction of the RSG Breeder Pellet, we have seen a substantial jump in donor health/freshness, consumption and most importantly embryo quality. A quality embryo transfer program is an investment and the Breeder Pellet is an essential tool for us in ensuring the greatest return.”
