Direct Fed Microbial Requirement

Since our inception, Laura’s Lean Beef Company has aggressively approached the issue of pre-harvest food safety by requiring all cattle receive an approved Direct Fed Microbial during the finishing phase. Through the continued development and testing of feed additive products by the industry, LLB has identified products that when fed prior to harvest have been documented to provide a very positive impact on reducing the presence of E. Coli O157 H7. As a result LLB has approved the following products to fulfill the requirement of all cattle being fed an LLB approved DFM during the finishing phase prior to harvest. Producers must feed one of the products listed below during the finishing phase per the feeding recommendations by said company.
