Building farms with adequate nutrition

Combating lameness

Improving hoof health is a priority for us. Lameness causes cows to suffer. They make fewer visits to the feed trough, eat less, and are less productive. Farm incomes consequently suffer too. Lameness is also a major reason why cows are culled too early in life.Certain vitamins are essential for the strength of the hooves. Feeding biotin has been shown to reduce the incidence of many hoof diseases, including white line disease, sole ulcers, and sand cracks. Biotin strengthens the hoof horn. This results in greater hoof hardness, which directly reduces lameness and the suffering that lameness brings with it. Biotin can be used as an individual additive or as part of a feeding strategy, and feeding mixed vitamins can bring significant benefits. Biotin can be combined with vitamin E and ß-carotene to meet your specific requirements.

Combating mastitis

Every year, udder infections cause massive losses to the dairy industry due to reduced milk production, lower milk revenue, additional treatment costs, and increased early culls. Adding vitamin E additive to the feed is a powerful tool for helping build a robust immune system that can reduce a cow’s vulnerability to infections. It has been proven to reduce the intramammary infection rates at calving, shorten the duration of mastitis cases in infected dairy cows, and lower the level of herd somatic cell counts.

Improving calf welfare

Calves are a valuable source of income. Dairy farmers therefore aim to produce vigorous and fast-growing calves. Diarrhea and digestive disorders are major causes of calf mortality. Increasing levels of β-carotene content in cow colostrum makes calves less prone to diarrhea. Adding ß-carotene to the dairy cow’s diet helps the calves grow healthily.

Better reproductivity and longevity

Improving the reproductive performance and longevity of dairy cows means increasing productivity. This is good for agricultural income and the environment. β-carotene can stimulate the estrus cycle of dairy cows, thereby helping to improve reproductive performance and reduce the embryo mortality rates. This reduces the calving intervals and also means that fewer non-productive cows are culled. Both help increase the income for farmers.

Rumen-protected methionine

In addition to synthesizing protein in ruminants that can then be converted into cystine to meet the demand, methionine can also promote cell proliferation and animal growth and improve the immunity of animals. The addition of methionine to the feed of dairy cows can significantly increase the lactoprotein content of the milk produced, with no effect on milk fat and lactose. Adding methionine to beef cattle feed can significantly increase the daily weight gain.
