DUOPORT DAILY PELLET

Targeted Metabolic Support for Heavy Finishing Cattle

Your cattle are heavier than ever. Your death loss is climbing. Traditional products weren’t built for 1,500-pound cattle running high-energy rations for 180+ days. DuoPort Daily is.

1. In 1975 the average weight at harvest was 1,146 pounds
2. Today it’s 32% higher at 1,507 pounds.
3. The heart and lungs have not kept up. 
4. In fact, they are 16-18% smaller relative to body weight. 
5. The result is a 24% chronic oxygen deficit. 

When the lungs experience low oxygen the blood vessels contract to restrict blood flow.  This mechanism is meant to be local and limited. It was engineered so when one part of the lung experiences low oxygen the arterioles contract to shift blood to other well oxygenated areas.

In cattle today the low oxygen is chronic and systemic.  There is no where to shift blood flow and the right side of the heart is forced to work against pressure it was never designed to handle.

That leads to heart damage in 63% of cattle at slaughter per Colorado State researchers. 

THE PROBLEM YOU ALREADY KNOW

You’re feeding bigger cattle longer. Average finishing weights have hit 1,507 pounds. Days on feed stretched to over 200 days on some pens.

Your feed conversion and death loss numbers are telling the story.

• Mortality doubled from 0.70% to 1.74% in major feeding states since 2010.
• Feed conversion deteriorated 2.8% to 6.33:1, with ADG declining 3.4%.
• Heart failure cases doubled from 2000–2012 — now 11–15 per 10,000 head placed.
• Each late-term death costs you $400–$1,200+ at current fat cattle prices.

WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR HEAVY CATTLE

Recent research has identified the root cause: Chronic Hypoxia (Low blood oxygen).

• Blood vessels in the lung constrict 
• Heavy cattle carry 12% greater oxygen demand
• The right side of the heart pushes more blood against pressures it was never meant to  handle.
• The result: cardiac remodeling…63% of cattle have heart damage at slaughter
• The AIP that your veterinarian posts with a “flat basketball” heart is Grade 5 heart damage
• Carcass value drops as much as $389 / head…CSU puts the average cost at $130 per head across the entire pen.

This isn’t a respiratory problem.  It’s a metabolic and low oxygen problem in cattle that are bigger, fed longer, and pushed harder than the industry has ever seen.

WHAT DUOPORT DAILY DOES

DuoPort Daily is a daily top-dress pellet that delivers targeted metabolic support during the critical final 60–90 days of feeding — exactly when your heavy cattle need it most.

• Relaxes the constricted blood vessels in the lung
• Immune system modulation — supports the animal’s own defense mechanisms against chronic metabolic stress.
• Antioxidant support — bioavailable trace minerals fuel the enzyme systems (SOD, GPx, catalase) that neutralize damaging ROS.
• Root-cause approach — addresses the metabolic dysfunction driving late-day mortality, not just the symptoms.
• Simple integration — top-dress pellet fits existing feeding protocols. No ration reformulation. No extra labor.

You need a tool built specifically for the metabolic challenges of modern heavy cattle. That’s what DuoPort Daily is.

BUILT FOR YOUR OPERATION

DuoPort Daily is designed for independent feeders running cattle above 1,300 pounds who are seeing:

• Climbing late-day death loss, especially in the last 60 days on feed
• Unexplained heart failure, Feedyard AIP, or sudden deaths in heavy pens
• Declining feed efficiency in the final feeding phase
• The “Late Day Shuffle” that we used to think was just how fat cattle walk
• Increasing days on feed with heavier placement-to-finish spreads

Whether you’re feeding 50 or 50,000 head, if you’re losing money to late-term deaths and lost carcass value in heavy cattle, this product was built for you.

DuoPort Daily is a feed supplement. Performance results may vary by operation, cattle type, and management practices.
