HLS™ products are 100% lickable consumption controlled energy, protein, vitamin, and mineral supplements fortified with yeast culture.

HLS™ products are truly unique. The Hudson continuous flow process allows for consistency and efficient nutrient delivery to livestock. Pure cane molasses and vegetable oil are put through a heat dehydration step that reduces moisture. The continuous flow of the pure cane molasses through the cooking process also allows for even crystallization and increased energy intake.

Other nutritional ingredients are blended into the taffy candy during the cooling phase. This allows the taffy candy and the dry ingredients to be blended into a stable mix, assuring an absolutely consistent nutrient profile throughout. The evenly mixed product is poured into various sized containers. The crystallized product then cools to a hardened state.

In that HLS™ supplements contain less moisture, they act like hard rock candy you would buy in a store. If you leave a piece of hard rock candy on the kitchen counter for an hour and come back, it will be sticky. This is because it has drawn moisture in from the atmosphere. The only difference in HLS™ and hard rock candy is that before it hardens, nutrients are added to it. So the number of tubs or surface area sitting in the pasture available to draw moisture from the atmosphere in relationship to the number of animals licking on it regulates consumption. It is important to go by the feeding instructions, because if too few tubs are placed in the pasture animals will not get the nutrients that they need. On the other hand, if too many tubs are placed in the pasture, animals will over consume. Generally, on all HLS™ protein supplements one tub to 25 head will achieve a .5 to .75 of a pound per-head per-day consumption, which is all that cattle need.
