I would think you could, but whether or not it would do any good on all those stomaches they have is another question.

I'm not 100% on this but .... first of all, WHY do you want to feed a cow FORCO? There are tons of ways to get a cow back on feed after an ordeal as well as re-start their rumen soooooo I'm really curious why you would want to feed it ....

Yes, you can. The pelleted form was developed because people with bucking bulls needed it. It will really make a difference.

My dad has a sick cow. She won't eat. Drinks but then kind of vomits it back up. Vet checked for a blockage in her esophagus. Nothing. Kind of stumped as to what is wrong. The vet said to put her on a probiotic. My dad was here at my house tonight telling me this. Doesn't have a probio at home so I was going to send him my Forco. If you have other ideas please share!!

that was my first thought as well .... I'm not bashing FORCO. I'm sure its a good product, but I have never used it. We always dosed rumens with live cultured yogurt: easy, cheap, and can be given with a large (60cc) syringe in an oral fashion. Cattle carry a rumen and can be fed different products that cost less .... IMO.

Good Luck - hope she gets figured out.

I my instance, it would be for show cattle. An extra edge on their look for a decent price knowing the quality of the product.

 I'm not sure. She is a beef cow not a dairy. We've had cattle since I was little so 30 +yrs. never had one. But I'll mention it to him tomorrow

Could be. But my dad has always been good at being able to pick up on that. We've had a few over the years. Her symptoms are puzzling to him. But it's alway a possibility

It works very well on all animals, the bull builder FORCO will really turn one around. The pellets are the best for cows/bulls....
