Milk Fever Control

Control of Milk Fever is one of the primary considerations of the late pregnancy diet. It can be difficult to consistently provide a low potassium, low calcium diet, especially when dry cows must be grazed or fed grass silage. X-Zelit is the original, novel calcium and phosphorus binder which naturally up-regulates the cow's ability to mobilize her own calcium reserves for effective milk fever prevention. This mode of action is potentially simpler to incorporate into transition cow management compared to a full DCAD.

X-Zelit has been proven through numerous University trials, field tests, and producer experience reports to effectively and easily reduce milk fever incidence and greatly improve post calving health.

Metabolic acidifiers (DCAD) in the diet such as Ammonium Chloride also ensure that the hormonal control of calcium is upregulated, ready to mitigate the risk of higher potassium diets.
