Dry Cow Nutrition
Let us help you build the dry cow nutrition program that’s right for your herd.
Features:
- Source of Reashure® Rumen-Protected Choline to improve energy requirements during transition.
- Source of Chromium to enhance absorption of glucose.
- Additional Vitamin E (supplies 250 IU of Vitamin E when fed as directed).
- Improved palatability
- Packaged in 16 kg pails
How it works and performs
Research trials confirm that rumen-protected choline:
- Helps the liver process energy more effectively which reduces excess fat accumulation in the liver
- Helps the cow manage her energy demands of early lactation
- Helps the cow manage her energy status
Every cow is a candidate:
Even a small accumulation of fat can decrease the liver’s metabolic functions and impact overall energy metabolism in early lactation.
Research-Proven Results:
- Improved health in fresh cows. Rumen Stable Choline has been shown to reduce the incidence of ketosis and fatty liver, displaced abomasums and retained placenta. Vitamin E reduces incidence of retained placenta and mastitis.
- Promotes a healthy rumen by maintaining a balanced population of bacteria required to consume lactic acid and prevent acidosis.
- Improved Reproduction. Rumen Stable Choline has been shown to improve 1st service conception and pregnancy rates when fed to transition cows.
- Increased milk production. Rumen Stable Choline research indicates increased milk yield in fresh cows by 1.4 – 4.1 kg/day.
Feed EcoLac® Trans Energy Pellets as a tool for managing transition cow health and reduce your time spent drenching cows.
Features
- Highly refined source of rapidly available non-starch energy
- Palatable blend of natural sources of energy and protein in high-energy pellets
- Optimum formulation of digestible fibre sources for health and milk production
- Improved health with optimum levels of vitamins and minerals
Benefits
- Convenience – This feed may be mixed in a TMR or top-dressed. It may replace HM corn or other grain sources in the ration or may replace some of the lactating TMR.
- Increased Energy – The highly available energy helps improve energy status in the cow without increasing grain sources.
- Improved cow health – Increasing energy intake without feeding more corn or starch helps to prevent acidosis in fresh cows, increasing feed intake and helping to reduce body weight loss and ketosis.
- Increased peak milk yield – Healthier cows that have enhanced feed digestion and intake produce more milk. Farm trials have shown 3-5 kg increased peak milk yield in fresh cows.
