Agri-Blok™ 16% Protein Lick Tub with Fibrozyme XLF — 110kg

When forage quality drops — whether from drought, dormancy, or a tough winter — your cattle don't just need more protein. They need to get more out of every bite they're already taking. That's exactly what Agri-Blok 16% with Alltech Fibrozyme XLF delivers. This isn't just a protein tub. It's a rumen performance system — combining targeted protein supplementation with proven enzyme technology to maximize the nutritional value your cattle extract from low-quality forage, hay, and straw.

Why Agri-Blok 16% with Fibrozyme XLF?

  • Alltech Fibrozyme XLF enzyme technology — a scientifically proven fibre-digesting enzyme that targets hemicellulose and cellulose in plant material, breaking down the structural barriers that limit rumen bacteria from accessing nutrients; the result is faster, more complete fibre digestion and significantly improved feed efficiency
  • 16% protein formula — provides the nitrogen that rumen microbes need to thrive, amplifying the effect of Fibrozyme by fuelling the microbial population that does the digesting
  • Increases dry matter intake — when fibre digests faster, the rumen clears more quickly, cattle feel less full sooner, and voluntarily consume more forage — a critical advantage when feed is scarce
  • Improves forage digestibility by up to 10–15% — cattle extract more energy and nutrients from the same bale of hay or the same acre of drought-stressed pasture
  • Free-choice, self-fed 110kg tub — no daily feeding, no mixing, no measuring; cattle consume what they need, when they need it
  • Weather-resistant construction — built for Canadian outdoor conditions in pasture, feedlot, or range settings
  • Alberta-made quality — formulated by Canadian Agri-Blend with Alltech's globally trusted Fibrozyme technology

How Fibrozyme XLF Works

Fibrozyme XLF contains a concentrated blend of hemicellulase and cellulase enzymes that attack the structural carbohydrates in plant cell walls. In the rumen, this means:

  • Rumen bacteria gain faster access to the nutrients locked inside plant cells
  • Fibre breakdown accelerates, reducing rumen fill and increasing voluntary intake
  • More energy is extracted from each kilogram of forage consumed
  • Cattle maintain better body condition on the same or less feed

The protein in Agri-Blok feeds the rumen microbes that work alongside Fibrozyme — creating a synergistic effect that makes the whole system perform better than either component alone.

Ideal For

  • Drought conditions — when dry, dormant pasture is low in both protein and digestibility, Fibrozyme XLF helps cattle extract maximum nutrition from every bite, extending grazing days and reducing the need for expensive hay purchases or early destocking
  • Beef cattle on low-quality hay or straw — transforms poor-quality stored forage into a more productive feed source by improving its digestibility in the rumen
  • Winter feeding programs — maintains body condition and feed efficiency through cold months when forage quality is at its lowest and energy demands are highest
  • Backgrounding and growing operations — improves average daily gain and feed conversion efficiency in cattle being developed for market
  • Feedlot and grain-based rations — Fibrozyme improves fibre digestion in grain rations too, supporting rumen health and reducing the risk of digestive upsets
  • Cow-calf operations in late gestation and lactation — helps cows extract more nutrition from available forage during their most demanding life stage
  • Range cattle with limited forage access — maximizes the nutritional value of whatever forage is available across large pastures

Why Use It

  • ✔ Gets more out of every bite — Fibrozyme XLF improves forage digestibility by up to 10–15%, meaning your existing feed supply goes further
  • ✔ Extends grazing days during drought — better fibre digestion + protein supplementation = cattle that extract significantly more nutrition from drought-stressed pasture
  • ✔ Increases voluntary feed intake — faster rumen clearance means cattle eat more, supporting better body condition and growth rates on the same forage base
  • ✔ Improves feed conversion efficiency — backgrounding and growing cattle reach target weights faster with less feed input
  • ✔ Protects body condition scores — cattle that hold condition through drought or winter rebreed faster and cost less to bring back into production
  • ✔ Reduces feeding labour — one 110kg tub delivers weeks of consistent supplementation with zero daily effort
  • ✔ Backed by Alltech science — Fibrozyme is one of the most researched and proven enzyme technologies in livestock nutrition globally
  • ✔ Trusted by Canadian ranchers — proven across Western Canada in all production systems and climates

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fibrozyme XLF and why does it matter for cattle?

Fibrozyme XLF is an Alltech enzyme product containing hemicellulase and cellulase — enzymes that break down the structural fibres in hay, straw, and pasture grass. In the rumen, this improves fibre digestion speed and completeness, allowing cattle to extract more energy and nutrients from the same forage. It's particularly valuable when forage quality is poor, such as during drought or winter feeding.

How is this different from a regular protein tub?

A standard protein tub supplements nitrogen and minerals. Agri-Blok 16% with Fibrozyme XLF does that AND actively improves how efficiently your cattle digest the forage they're already eating. The enzyme and protein work synergistically — protein feeds the rumen microbes, Fibrozyme helps those microbes work faster and more effectively. The result is better performance from the same feed base.

Is this good for cattle during drought?

Yes — it's one of the best drought supplementation tools available. Drought-stressed pasture is low in both protein and digestibility. Agri-Blok 16% with Fibrozyme XLF addresses both problems simultaneously: the protein bridges the nutritional deficit, and the Fibrozyme enzyme helps cattle extract more energy from the dry, fibrous grass that remains. This extends grazing days and helps maintain body condition without immediately resorting to expensive hay purchases or destocking.

How long before I see results from Fibrozyme?

Allow 1–2 weeks for full rumen adaptation to the enzyme. Improvements in voluntary intake are typically noticeable within 2–3 weeks, and body condition improvements within 3–4 weeks of consistent use.

How much will cattle consume per day?

Approximately 200–400g per head per day under normal conditions. Intake will naturally increase when forage quality is poor — this is the self-regulating benefit of the free-choice tub format.

Care information

Feeding Guidelines

Agri-Blok 16% with Fibrozyme XLF is a free-choice, self-fed supplement. Place the tub in a dry, accessible location in the pasture, feedlot, or range where all cattle can reach it. Cattle will self-regulate their intake based on nutritional need.

  • Beef cattle: Approximately 200–400g per head per day under normal conditions
  • Cows in late gestation or lactation may consume more — this is normal
  • During drought or when forage quality is poor, intake will naturally increase — monitor and add tubs as needed
  • For large herds, provide one tub per 20–30 head to ensure all animals have adequate access
  • Place near water sources and shade to encourage use by all animals in the herd

About Fibrozyme XLF

Fibrozyme XLF is most effective when cattle are consuming it consistently. Allow 1–2 weeks for full rumen adaptation and optimal enzyme activity. Results — including improved intake and body condition — are typically visible within 3–4 weeks of consistent use.

Storage

Tubs are weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Storing under shelter will extend product life and protect enzyme activity. Keep lid on when not in use.

Important Notes

  • Always ensure fresh, clean water is available — protein supplementation increases water intake.
  • Not a complete feed — use alongside forage, hay, straw, or grain as part of a balanced diet.
  • Monitor body condition scores regularly and adjust forage and supplementation accordingly.
  • Consult your veterinarian or livestock nutritionist for specific herd requirements.
