A stressed-out animal is harder to handle, harder to keep healthy, and harder to keep your crew safe around. Solvet CattleZen gives you a simple topical tool to take the edge off before the stress even starts, so handling, transport, and processing days go smoother for you and the herd.

CattleZen contains 140.05 mg/mL (14.05%) of Maternal Bovine Appeasing Substance (mBAS) analogue and a 2M2B calming pheromone blend. This combination mimics the naturally occurring pheromones secreted by lactating cows, and once applied to the skin above the muzzle, the calming pheromones are inhaled by the animal with every breath.

That inhaled pheromone blend stimulates the vomeronasal organ, which helps desensitize the amygdala and hypothalamus, the parts of the brain driving threat perception. The result is an animal less likely to panic or fight back during handling, transport, temperature extremes, mixing, vaccination, or ear tagging.

Application is simple: shake the bottle, then apply a single 5 mL dose above the muzzle for cattle 200 lb and over, or 3 mL for cattle under 200 lb. If another stressful event comes up, you can repeat the dose after 14 days. It's labeled for use in both beef and dairy operations, covering everything from weaning, dehorning, banding, and castration to commingling, transport, implanting, and sorting.

Calmer cattle mean reduced flight behavior, lower cortisol, less inflammation, and better response to vaccination through increased antibody production, on top of a safer day at the chute for you and your crew. Add CattleZen to your routine handling procedures and work with an animal that's easier to manage from the start.
