Millennium

Protein Nutrition For Show Lambs, Goats & Steers

Millennium is the forerunner in top dress Technology for lean gain and muscle development. It was the first show supplement offered to the livestock show industry to contain the COMBINATION of L-carnitine and chromium tripicolinate, plus added amino acids, organic minerals, and plant proteins. It has been such a success that other companies had to come up with their own "copycat" formula just to compete.

However, one thing we have learned over the last 3 years is you cannot copy such a powerful formula. Bottom line is if you are hauling, showing, holding or simply growing your show pigs, Millennium will help provide those extra nutrients to keep them consistently healthy and in the winners circle.

Customers are always asking why Millennium is such a successful product. Our answer is if something works, people will be happy and satisfied with the product.

However, the main reason Millennium has been such a success is it was originally formulated based upon scientific research coming out of the major land-grant universities specializing in animal nutrition.

An example is close to ten years of research and development has gone into the L-carnitine and chromium tripicolinate contained in Millennium. Where present show product claims are based on little or no scientific support, research data proves that ingredients in Millennium WORK. Also, research indicates when adding L-carnitine and chromium tripicolinate together, it is important to have the right amount of each to obtain maximum results.

How Does L-Carnitine & Chromium Tripicolinate Work?

L-CARNITINE is the next-generation in vitamin nutrition. L-carnitine is involved in fat metabolism where it carries fat into cells (mitochondria) where the fat is broken down into energy. Research has shown supplemental L-carnitine increases the rate cells burn fat thus, improving the efficiency by which animals utilize fate. Typical results included an increase in Loin muscle area (for bigger, more massive top shape), reduction in backfat (producing leaner pigs), and an increase in gluconeogenic function (increases stamina and recovery time, and reduction in muscle fatigue).

CHROMIUM TRIPICOLINATE is an organic form of chromium that's involved in carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid metabolism. Chromium maximizes the delivery of energy through the blood glucose transport system to other parts of the body, thereby maximizing the efficiency of this energy transport system (converting fat to lean). Chromium also has been shown to increase the uptake of amino acids into muscle tissue (making pigs heavier muscled). Research indicates that chromium tripicolinate, when fed with L-carnitine, can produce leaner, heavier muscled pigs.

Feeding Directions:

Millennium is an all natural product that is perfectly safe to feed to all classes of swine. There is no withdrawal period prior to slaughter. Maximum benefit from Millennium can be seen in animals maintained on a high plane of nutrition by adding 1/2 ounce per head per day as a top dress to daily feed. For ideal results, we suggest starting pigs at 50 pounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Millennium Technologies™ is a feed supplement that provides high-performance show pigs the additional balance of essential amino acids, chelated minerals, L-carnitine, and chromium its system requires to grow. Millennium was developed for the specific purpose of giving the feeder an additional nutritional tool to help ensure their pigs express their maximum genetic potential. Millennium contains the optimal ratio of L-carnitine and chromium tripicolinate, thus helps pigs express maximum muscle development and carcass leanness. Millennium should be fed as a top dress to animals already being fed a complete diet. For ideal results, we suggest feeding ½ ounce per day per head starting pigs at 80 lbs and maintaining this until show day.

There are many growing-finishing feeding programs offered by your local feed dealer. The program used will basically depend upon availability and cost. We have a lot of people using a more economical feed along with Millennium and are very satisfied. We also have feeders which feed Millennium along with the more expensive brands and are happy as well. The bottom line is Millennium complements just about any complete feed program.

Based upon the daily recommended intake of Millennium, you should add 3-4 lbs of Millennium to a ton of complete feed.

The key ingredients in Millennium are:

  • L-carnitine: a vitamin-like nutrient that is involved in transporting fatty acids from outside mitochondrial cells to inside these cells so the fat can be burned for energy. Without L-carnitine fatty acids are not broken down. Research clearly demonstrates that carnitine accelerates the breakdown of fat while maintaining muscle mass.
  • Chromium Tripicolinate: an organic form of chromium that’s involved in carbohydrate, lipid, protein and nucleic acid metabolism. Research has proven chromium maximizes the delivery of energy through the blood glucose transport system to other parts of the body, thereby maximizing the efficiency of this energy transport system (Converting fat to lean).
  • Lysine: classified as an essential amino acid, it is the first limiting amino acid in practically all growing-finishing swine diets. Research at many different land grant universities have shown the importance of lysine for maximizing growth and muscle development in all growing-finishing swine.
  • Methionine: an important essential amino acid for swine. This amino acid plays an important role in the formation of RNA and DNA. Recent research shows higher levels of Methionine improve muscle mass and carcass leanness.
  • Organic Trace Minerals: Millennium contains a combination of both macro and micro chelated minerals to compensate for the deficiencies of even the highest quality of complete feeds. Also, chelated minerals are used to guarantee your animals receive the highest quality of trace minerals.
  • Unique proteins: The unique proteins and supplemental amino acid combination utilized in Millennium aids in reducing fat while maintaining existing muscle development. This provides a high quality protein source that is very digestible, thus helping to guarantee the animal’s muscle cells have the appropriate ratio of amino acids to support optimal muscle development

Research data supports that ingredients in Millennium help promote*

  • Better muscle development by increasing loin muscle area (for bigger, more massive top shape)
  • Reduced backfat thickness (producing leaner pigs)
  • Better feed conversion (requires less feed to produce a pound of weight gain)
  • Better bloom by improving muscle development
  • Better immune function (improves the overall health of an animal when hauling frequently to jackpot shows)
  • Reduces muscle breakdown (maintains muscle mass and shape when holding or limit feeding animals)
  • Better gluconeogenic function (increases stamina and recovery time, and reduction in muscle fatigue)
  • Bloom and overall freshness

Other products typically use a combination of L-carnitine and chromium tripicolinate recommended for a standard commercial diet. Millennium levels for these ingredients are much different. Before launching Millennium, it was tested in the field on high performance show pigs (not standard commercial pigs).

What was found by altering the ratio of L-carnitine and chromium typically found in commercial practice was that even better results were seen. We base our levels on a mg per day intake basis, meaning our levels are much more defined than some of the current "copy cats". Remember, at Premier Nutrition, we focus on manufacturing high quality feed supplement products, and do not skimp on ingredients. Thus, you can be confident when using Millennium that the correct level of carnitine and chromium are included for your animals.

YES!!! Millennium is a MUST for animals being restricted on intake and thus, need additional nutrients. The concentrated levels of unique proteins, free amino acids, L-carnitine and chromium combined in Millennium help aid in maintaining existing muscle shape and expression. The last thing you want to do is lose that top-shape you have worked so hard to obtain in your animal a couple of weeks before the big show. The concentrated levels of nutrients in Millennium help ensure this does not happen to your 4-H or FFA project animals.

We have many customers who feed Millennium to their nursery pigs to ensure the pigs have that shape and "POP" that makes them look hard and fresh for the sales. Millennium will help give your pigs that bloomy look that commands the attention of potential buyers. If you want to ensure your pigs look right for the buyers at Duncan, try top dressing with Millennium starting 2 to 3 weeks out.

Millennium is an all natural product that is perfectly safe to feed to all classes of swine. There is NO withdrawal period prior to slaughter.

Yes. Remember, Millennium™ is an all-natural product that can be fed throughout the pigs life cycle. We highly recommend starting to top dress pigs Millennium™ immediately after removing them from FINAL FORxCE™ if they go past this 240 lb limit.

$0.35/day based upon ½ ounce serving per head per day.
