What is Vit-A-Zine?
We are excited to announce that Vit-A-Zine is under a new generation of the original Ross family ownership. Brenton and Amanda Davis have purchased the company from Matthew Briegel & Nathan Yoder. Amanda is the great granddaughter of the company’s original founder George B. Ross, the granddaughter of Don & Linda Law and the great niece of Rusty Ross. Amanda worked at Vit-A-Zine while it was under Matthew & Nathan’s ownership from 2017-2020. We are excited to bring back the very family-owned principles and goals that Vit-A-Zine was founded on in 1960.
There will be some changes under our new ownership, but we are confident that these changes will be good for both the company and its customers. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible customer service while supplying a high-quality product. Our business’s success comes from the cattlemen and dealers we serve. So, we want to earn their confidence and trust by working directly with them.
Vit-A-Zine has always been well known for its quality products and has built a solid reputation with the cattlemen it serves. We consider ourselves to be fortunate to have been given the opportunity to make Vit-A-Zine a locally family-owned company again.
We are very enthusiastic about the opportunity to serve you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us and let us know if we can be of any assistance. We are eager to work with you.

Mineral Must Be Palatable
The old theory that if livestock need minerals they would eat them free choice regardless of the taste, is not true. The only mineral cattle have a natural appetite for is salt. Nature intended for them to receive all of the minerals except salt from the grass or hay. Heavy pasturing over the years has depleted most of the trace elements in the soil so it is necessary to furnish these elements in a form they will eat. Vit-A-Zine furnishes it all, including the salt, in one palatable package.
Because, Vit-A-Zine is not just a mineral, it is consumed better than a salt and mineral supplement. Because Vit-A-Zine is not strictly a protein supplement, consumption will be less. Thus, Vit-A-Zine combines the best of both programs for a year-round supplement on pasture or hay.
The protein in Vit-A-Zine comes from a variety of sources to provide a balance of amino acids. We have found that if the protein source is balanced in amino-acids, the amount, or percent, of protein can be minimized. This is a maximum saving to the cattle feeder.
Our Quality Control meets the highest standards in the feed industry. This can be especially appreciated when insuring vitamin content. All mixing and preparation of our vitamins is done by our employees under close supervision. The margin for error is further minimized by frequent quality checks of the vitamins in the laboratory.
Vit-A-Zine is proud of the research and quality control that has gone into its formulas. However, what is equally important, is the fact that the feed itself is well accepted by the animals. To be effective, a supplement must be palatable.
