Targeted Supplementation Programs
QLF Ignite supplementation programs can improve the utilization of low-quality forage and supply additional nutrients needed to support a healthy, productive herd. QLF produces Ignite supplements that complement a full range of diets on range or pasture settings. These supplements contain readily-available energy from sugar and can be formulated to contain 20% to 40% crude protein.

Increased Forage Intake & Utilization
QLF Ignite cow/calf products are designed to enhance forage utilization by supplying a source of degradable protein and energy to support rumen fermentation critical for herd health, calf performance, and reproductive efficiency.
-
Improve Pasture Utilization
QLF Ignite supplements help livestock utilize unfavorable grazing areas. Ignite supplements can be placed in underused areas of a pasture, specifically drawing cattle to these potential grazing locations. As supplements are strategically moved during a grazing season, cattle may shift their routine travel patterns. This reduces the likelihood of pasture overgrazing, which may be prone to erosion or weed infestation.
-
Practical Additive Carrier
QLF Ignite supplements can improve intake and digestion of low quality forages while also delivering select additives throughout the feed. In grazing situations, delivery of feed additives allows producers to take advantage of the benefits they offer without having to handle cattle, invest additional time and labor, or inventory additional additives.
-

- Intake of these supplements will vary, depending on the quality of forages, pasture conditions and/or nutritional need.
Do QLF Ignite tubs have cold flow properties?
Yes, QLF Ignite tubs have cold flow properties. If an Ignite container is tipped or torn, the cold flow property of the molasses product will cause the supplement material to “flow” out of the container onto the ground. This is particularly the case in warmer temperatures or in direct sunlight. Therefore, it is essential to store and feed Ignite supplements in an upright position and not stack anything on top of the tubs.
