Epi. 311 – CattleZen® for Cattle Stress Management – Sponsored by Cornerstone Animal Health

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Doug Shane, Veterinary Technical Support with Sol-Vet and a state senator in Kansas. This episode is sponsored by Cornerstone Animal Health.

Officially launched in 2026, CattleZen® is a new cattle stress management tool designed to help producers maintain calmer, healthier beef and dairy cattle.

CattleZen is a proprietary blend of maternal bovine-appeasing substance and a calming pheromone that, when applied just above the muzzle, stimulates a calming effect. This patented blend of two pheromones delivers fast-acting and sustained calming through the animal’s sensory system to help cattle stay calmer during common stressors such as weaning, vaccination, transportation or weather changes.

CattleZen also enhances cattle welfare, minimizing the impact of stressful events while improving safety for both animals and handlers. Its easy, single-site application features a higher concentration, lower-volume dose designed for strong detection and consistent results. 

Dr. Shane discusses the use of this product and reviews the results of trials performed by SolVet to demonstrate some of the clinical applications that veterinarians can discuss with producers.
