Reducing Metabolic Risk

Using a dry cow concentrate allows :-

Feeding a high fibre diet to maximise rumen stretch. Using a concentrate to feed the rumen microbes ensures efficient, productive ruminal fermentation and digestion. Ultimately a fully stretched rumen encourages increased dry matter intake after calving, reducing Ketosis risk.
Delivery of efficient, high-quality protein, reducing the need for cows to use their own tissue, lessening metabolic stress. This supports better liver function and reduces risk of fatty liver and ketosis.
The ability to add components such as X-Zelit and Ammonium Chloride to reduce Milk Fever risk.
Healthy development of ruminal papilla. Maximising rumen surface area ensures all products of rumen microbial digestion are absorbed and utilised effectively. It also optimises control of acidosis.
Incorporation of products such as Isoferm which directly feed the fibre digesting bacteria, greatly increasing quantities of microbial protein created.
Incorporation of products such as MecoVit, a protected Methionine. The protection prevents it being utilised by the rumen microbes and passing directly into the cow’s small intestine. Once absorbed it provides a vital function in the mobilisation of fat out of the Liver, reducing the impact of ketosis and fatty liver.
Incorporation of products such as ECM3 (Choline) which reduces the impact of Insulin Resistance, aiding energy control during the late Dry Period.
