- Research indicates Carnitine, Chromium, and d-Pantothenic Acid can reduce backfat, therefore, improves overall carcass qualities
- Contains chelated (organic) trace minerals for improved bio-availability and are essential in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism
- Potassium chloride provides a source of electrolytes
- Biotin, folic acid, and pyridoxine are included as a source of water soluble vitamins involved in energy and amino acid metabolism
- Yeast sources block the colonization of pathogens, allowing microflora balance in the gastro-intestinal tract
- Cheese whey, a quility milk protein, is used to improve palatability and pig performance
- Appetein® provides a source of immunoglobulins with excellent availability of amino acids

A 1 oz measuring scoop is enclosed in the pail for correct level of First Rate® Overdrive™ PL450 to be mixed into the daily ration.
Caution
Pigs fed Ractopamine HCl are at increased risk for exhibiting the downer pig syndrome (also referred to as "slows", "subs", or "suspects"). Pig handling methods to reduce the incidence of downer pigs should be thoroughly evaluated prior to initiating use of Ractopamine HCl. Do not feed to breeding swine.
