What can I feed to...

…get cows and first time heifers bulling?

If cattle are being fed inside the best solution is to opt for our granular fertility supplement, proSolve Granules. Containing proSolve Stimulus, the granules should completely replace minerals in the diet for a period of 42 days at a rate of 100g/h/day. For serious cases increase to 120g. This will stimulate oestrus, increase sexual activity and improve conception rates. When fed to dairy cows running together, we recommend a 6-week on, 6 week off policy to help improve all round herd fertility.

...reduce early embryonic loss?

The eggs you are trying to fertilise at either first or second service begin developing before calving. If anything compromises the cow during this crucial time (stress or disease) then the quality of the eggs will be compromised. Pre-Calver Omega 3 provides key ingredients for the critical transition between the dry period and lactation, whilst also preparing the reproductive system optimum fertility and conception at first service.

…over-conditioned cows pre-calving to mobilise fat reserves?

Over-conditioned cows mean fatty livers and possible poor reproductive performance. Cows ending their lactation and entering the dry period BC 4 or more will have fatty liver problems.  Ketosis is associated with fatty liver at calving and in early lactation. 50% of all cows suffer from some form of fatty liver and this can lead to reduced yields, health and fertility problems. Acetona meal is a source of rumen by-pass energy that has unique fat mobilising ingredients. Acetona can help to mobilise fat deposits in the liver, improve and ensure good liver function, helping to overcome those problems that affect production and performance of the dairy cow.

...reduce energy deficit by increasing DMI?

In the run up to calving, voluntary feed intake can be reduced, which can lead to an energy deficit in early lactation. Yeast-Ex Nutripak has been shown to ensure a good DMI immediately post calving as well as helping with a smooth transition to the milking ration. By improving DMI the body condition of the cow is maintained during peak production, as well as reducing the energy gap during early lactation and improving milk yield by up to 1.2 litre/day.

...help maintain my milking cows’ immune systems and general overall health?

Supranutritional feeding of trace elements and vitamins means feeding levels higher than those recommended for avoiding deficiencies. Certain trace elements when fed this way and in a source more available to the animal can achieve a higher level of response. Selenex, Smart Zinc and Vitamin E are key to tackling lameness and udder issues, which is why they are included in high levels in Udder & Hoof Care.

...improve the efficiency of any existing ration?

By optimising rumen function and improving nutrient utilisation the producer is better placed to improve the conversion of feed into milk and feed into liveweight gain more efficiently. Crina Nutripak is designed to ‘fine tune’ the rumen, helping to modulate the rate of protein and energy fermentation. Trial work using Crina Nutripak has highlighted a more efficient rumen fermentation cutting the energy wasted, reducing the risk of acidosis and increasing milk yields.

...reduce the incidence of respiratory problems in growing stock?

Feed this most successful product to housed cattle of any age. Use when breathing difficulties occur or when predicted. The resulting visual discharge is testimony to its efficacy and we recommend it particularly for young cattle. Or try Tub CF (Calf) as this also contains Breath-Ezee.

...maintaining nutritional levels for good coat condition and appearance?

Four of the key elements here are usually Iodine, Copper, Zinc and Selenium. If you are looking for higher levels of these, then look no further as Cattle Conditioner has all 4 in abundance. This is an ideal product for calves and heifers to promote a rich, healthy appearance or for cows pre-calving that need to maintain iodine levels.

…maintaining the integrity of sheep’s feet?

This is a huge challenge to all sheep farmers. By feeding Hoof Care Sheep for a minimum of 6-8 weeks, you will provide high levels of Smart Zinc which is shown to help harden hoof structure. For best response it must be fed over a long period and be used in conjunction with good hoof husbandry. High cobalt, selenium and calcium will also support overall health. Now contains maximum recommended levels of biotin for further hoof integrity.

...to supplement Omega 3’s in any livestock ration?

Thrivon Omega 3 contains high quality proteins, Omega 3’s and energy so when combined with microbial proteins in the rumen it will provide an amino acid profile similar to fishmeal. These functional fatty acids will have a particularly good effect for pre-tupping ewes & rams, pre-lambing ewes, show stock & young calves.
