Two Benefits in One Convenient Tub
Positive Feeds PVM™ + IGR provides the same premium protein supplementation producers expect from the PVM™ line while incorporating S-Methoprene (Altosid® IGR) to interrupt the horn fly life cycle. As cattle consume the tub, the IGR passes through the digestive system into manure where horn flies lay eggs, preventing pupae from developing into biting adult flies. This helps reduce horn fly populations without gathering cattle for sprays, pour-ons, or dust bags.
Ideal for:
- Cow-calf operations
- Stocker cattle
- Replacement heifers
- Beef cows
- Beef bulls
- Dairy cattle on pasture
Feed Efficiency Meets Pasture Management
The PVM™ formula utilizes five different protein sources, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and trace minerals to promote healthy rumen microbial activity and improve forage digestion. The addition of Altosid® IGR provides season-long horn fly control when cattle consume the recommended amount daily, helping improve cattle comfort and reduce performance losses associated with heavy fly pressure.
Benefits
- Improves forage digestion
- Supports rumen microbes
- Helps maintain body condition
- Controls horn fly development
- Reduces handling for fly control
- Convenient free-choice feeding

Recommended Feeding
- Feed free-choice to beef and dairy cattle on pasture.
- Place tubs near water or loafing areas to encourage consistent intake.
- Cattle should consume the recommended daily amount to maintain effective horn fly control.
- Keep adequate forage available at all times.
- Always provide fresh, clean water.
- Begin feeding before horn fly populations become established and continue throughout fly season.
What is Positive Feeds PVM™ + IGR Tub?
It is a 28% protein cooked molasses supplement that combines forage-enhancing nutrition with Altosid® Insect Growth Regulator for horn fly control.
How does the IGR work?
The S-Methoprene passes through treated cattle into manure, where horn flies lay eggs. It prevents horn fly pupae from developing into biting adult flies, breaking the fly life cycle.
Does it replace sprays and ear tags?
In many operations it significantly reduces the need for other fly-control methods because cattle distribute the fly control themselves while grazing. Additional control methods may still be needed depending on fly pressure.
What cattle can be fed this product?
It is formulated for all classes of beef and dairy cattle on pasture during the horn fly season.
