Stuart Products has injectable and oral fat-soluble vitamins for specific applications.  All products have been university and field tested.  Bioavailability of fat-soluble vitamins is critically important for both injectable and oral formulations.  Our products have superior bioavailability compared to competitive products.  Our injectable and oral products were the first to utilize “d-alpha tocopherol”- the non-ester form of vitamin E for enhanced bioavailability.   Furthermore, the form of vitamin A in our products is “retinyl palmitate”, the biologically active form of vitamin A.  Competitive products contain “retinyl propionate”, which when injected is not bioavailable.   

 

Recommended Injectable Products for Beef Cattle

Injectable Product for Newborn Calves

VITAL E^®-Newborn

Calves are born fat-soluble vitamin deficient and depend on colostrum to provide fat-soluble vitamins, as long as the dam has consumed adequate fat-soluble vitamins before calving.  Calves born to cows in early spring are more prone to be deficient due to lack of vitamin intake by gestating cows. Signs of deficiency include weak calves, diarrhea, unable to nurse, and muscle degeneration.

Injectable Products for Feedlot Cattle

VITAL E^®-A+D for beef calves and stocker calves.

Depending on source and degree of stress, arrival programs should include injectable vitamins E, A and D, especially vitamin E.

VITAL E^®-500  for Dairy Beef entering feedlot.

Dairy beef calves entering the feedlot typically are grossly vitamin E deficient and vitamin A adequate; therefore, those animals do not need additional vitamin A and should be injected with vitamin E only.

Injectable Product for Cows and Bred Heifers

VITAL E^®-Repro

Depending on season of year, cows can benefit from an injection of fat-soluble vitamins prior to calving.  This product contains 200,000 I.U. vitamin A per mL as retinyl-palmitate, the biologically storage form of vitamin A.
