Cattle experience stress from everyday events — weaning, transportation, vaccination, and weather changes. These stressors activate the brain’s threat response, increasing cortisol and inflammation while lowering immunity and feed efficiency.
CattleZen™ helps cattle stay calm by addressing the brain’s perception of threat.
Multiple studies show that stress triggers the release of cortisol and adrenaline, which can suppress the immune system, reduce feed intake, and slow weight gain. By helping to reduce the perception of threat, CattleZen helps cattle stay calm, eat better and perform more efficiently.
CattleZen is a patented product that combines pheromones to help reduce stress, enhance performance, and support animal welfare
Modeled after a naturally occurring substance secreted by the skin of lactating cows, mBAS helps reduce stress and promote a sense of calmness in cattle. It provides a sustained, long-lasting calming effect.
Our unique blend of pheromones promotes a fast-acting and sustained calming response, helping animals settle quickly.
When applied to the skin above the muzzle, CattleZen’s pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ inside the nasal cavity — a key sensory organ that interprets chemical communication.
The result? Calming signals reach the brain regions that regulate fear and stress, helping cattle feel safe, relaxed, and easier to handle — even in challenging situations.
A simple non-invasive approach: no injection, no ingestion
1. Apply above the muzzle
A quick, single-site, topical application to the skin above the muzzle. No injection, no ingestion — just apply and go.
2. Pheromones are detected
The animal inhales the pheromone blend, which is sensed by the vomeronasal organ.
3. Calming signals are sent to the brain
These signals desensitize the amygdala and hypothalamus, the parts of the brain that control stress and fear.
4. Stress response decreases
The animal’s perception of threat is reduced, helping lower cortisol and minimize the impact of stressful events.
5. Observable results
Cattle show less agitation, better feed intake, improved immunity, and enhanced daily gain.
Prioritize cattle welfare simply by helping them respond better to stressful events while improving herd performance and profitability.
