CattleZen™ — Dual-Pheromone Innovation for Safer, Calmer Cattle
Solvet announces CattleZen, a new cattle stress management tool designed to help producers maintain calmer, healthier beef and dairy cattle. CattleZen will be officially launched at the 2026 CattleCon NCBA trade show on February 3, providing producers with a firsthand opportunity to learn about the science, performance benefits, and practical use of the product.
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 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.
Doug Shane, DVM, PhD, Solvet, veterinary technical support, says, “Stress triggers the release of cortisol and adrenaline in cattle, which can suppress the immune system and reduce feed intake. CattleZen helps reduce stress, supporting more consistent feed intake and better health and performance."
Dr. Shane added, “CattleZen provides a research-proven, effective, affordable tool that enhances welfare, supports improved productivity, and helps protect a producer’s investment.”
