| Characterizing the dry period as a "resting phase" often gives dairy
producers the wrong impression of the critical role the dry cow period really
plays. There are a variety of metabolic and physical problems encountered during
early lactation that can often be traced to marginal management during the dry
and transition periods. Because of these requirements, Vita Plus has developed
unique, research-proven products to help your transition cows make a smooth,
successful transition. |
| is a unique palatable anionic salt
that comes in two forms, a pelleted product for top-dressing and a product
designed for mixing in a TMR. Acid-I-Fresh provides all the required supplemental
phosphorus, calcium, trace minerals and high levels of Vitamins A, D, and E. By
feeding high levels of anionic salts, prefresh cows have shown a reduction in the
incidence of milk fever and stimulate higher milk production. |
| contains SoyChlor which is a
palatable source of anions designed to be fed to prefresh cows. Research shows
that feeding high levels of anions to prefresh cows helps to reduce the incidence
of milk fever. AniChlor contains chloride ions instead of sulfate ions because
the most recent research demonstrates that chloride ions are more effective in
acidifying than sulfate ions. AniChlor imparts an acidic taste that cows prefer
over the salty taste of other anionic salts therefore reducing the chance of
lower consumption. AniChlor provides 2000 IU's of Vitamin E per day and contains
yeast culture which assists in rumen microflora adaptation to a higher
concentrate ration. In addition, AniChlor contains organic trace minerals. |
| is a highly
palatable, protein-enriched source of anions designed to be fed to prefresh cows.
Its anionic activity is derived from its high chloride and sulfate content.
CountDown® contains BioChlor®, magnesium
sulfate, and calcium sulfate as the main sources of anions.
CountDown® contains a broad-spectrum of protein fractions,
which facilitates rumen microflora adaptation during the prefresh period. In
addition, Countdown® contains yeast culture and organic
trace minerals. CountDown® is designed to be either
top-dressed or mixed in a TMR. |
| is a performance oriented pellet
that combines the nutrients the cow needs around calving to stimulate dry matter
intake and reduce metabolic problems. Quick Start is a very palatable feed that
supplies essential nutrients to give your cows a Quick Start to a
profitable lactation! Quick Start contains Zinpro® organic trace
minerals, glucose precursor, niacin and additional selenium and vitamins. |
is easier and safer to
administer than using a stomach drench system. Offering Nutri-Lyte Drink with
warm water at calving can boost cow's blood nutrients for six to 10 hours...
when she needs it most. Nutri-Lyte Drink contains:
- Propylene glycol, as an energy source to help fight ketosis. The amount
is equivalent to 8 oz of liquid propylene glycol!
- A readily available source of calcium to boost blood calcium levels and
reduce the chance of milk fever.
- Electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, sodium) to help restore body fluids
after calving. B-Vitamins to stimulate appetite and bacterial
fermentation.
