Garlic for Livestock

Discover the Natural Power Inside RumenEdge

At AgriBest Feeds, we’re committed to finding nature-based solutions that improve animal health, enhance performance, and support your bottom line. One of the key ingredients in our latest innovation, RumenEdge, is a surprising powerhouse: garlic.

Yes—garlic. Long used in traditional medicine for its antimicrobial and health-supporting properties, garlic is now gaining recognition in livestock nutrition. Not all garlic products are created equal, which is why AgriBest Feeds partners with top-tier suppliers to source the most effective, research-backed garlic extracts on the market.


Why Garlic? Nature’s Natural Enhancer for Herd Health

Here’s how garlic supports healthier, more resilient livestock:

1. Natural Fly and Parasite Repellent

Garlic’s sulfur compounds create an odor that is excreted through the animal’s skin and breath. While mild to humans, this scent repels flies, ticks, lice, and even helps reduce some internal parasites—offering a natural tool to fight insect pressure.

2. Immune System Support

Garlic contains allicin, known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. It’s especially helpful in supporting immune function during stress, seasonal transitions, or environmental challenges.

3. Improved Circulation and Detox Support

Garlic may help improve blood flow and support detoxification, helping animals stay strong and perform well—even under pressure.

4. Better Appetite and Digestive Health

Garlic has been shown to stimulate appetite, especially in stressed animals. More consistent intake leads to better gains and more stable performance.


RumenEdge: Garlic, Plus So Much More

RumenEdge is AgriBest Feeds’ next-gen supplement that combines garlic with other time-tested, science-backed ingredients:


What Makes RumenEdge Stand Out:

  • Natural garlic to support fly control and immune resilience

  • Improved forage digestion and rumen efficiency

  • High protein and energy from DDGS to support performance

  • Consistent Redmond Conditioner to reduce stress and aid detoxification

Whether you're running a cow-calf operation, stocker program, or dairy herd, RumenEdge delivers the natural edge your livestock need—without relying on synthetic additives or costly treatments.


The Edge Is Natural. The Advantage Is Clear.

Producers nationwide are seeing the difference that garlic and other natural ingredients make in their herds. With RumenEdge, AgriBest Feeds brings together nature’s best tools and modern nutritional science—giving your livestock what they need to thrive from the inside out.
