Dairy Products & Services
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.
Acid-I-Fresh 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.
AniChlor 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.
CountDown® 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.
Quick Start 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.
Nutri-Lyte Drink 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.
