DAIRY MINERALS

This mineral & vitamin pack is designed for feeding in the 8-10 weeks pre-calving. This is a critical time in the cows calendar. Contains high levels of Magnesium which is vital in helping prevent issues such as Clinical and Sub-Clinical Milk Fever. Independently recommended essential minerals & vitamins are supplied in 100g – 150g dose rate. Protected minerals including Bio-Plex Copper and Zinc and Sel-plex are included also. Optimum amounts of Vitamin E and A are included to help boost immunity.

This unique combination of Vitamins & Minerals some of which are protected is specifically targeted at lactating cows in the lead up to breeding.  It is included in all of our top range Spring/Summer Nuts as standard. Protected minerals are included to ensure maximum availability of minerals to the animal. Protected minerals have been shown in trials by UCD to:

  • Increase conception rate
  • Decrease days to first service
  • Decrease somatic cell count by 35%
  • Improve hoof strength resulting in less lameness

Biotin is included to improve hoof strength. Magnesium is included in our feeds separately to the mineral in the form of Calmag. Magnesium helps to reduce the incidence of Grass Tetany. Cows cannot store Magnesium in their body for any more than 4 hours so must be made available to them every day in the form of a nut or through the water system.

This is an excellent Vitamin & Mineral containing all the recommended levels of minerals & vitamins the cow needs during lactation. A high level of Phosphorous is included to improve energy metabolism which is vital in getting the best possible response out of your feed. Protected minerals such as Bio-plex Copper and Zinc which are standard in this mineral give enhanced general health to the animal.

Magnesium is included in our feeds separately to the mineral in the form of Calmag. Magnesium helps to reduce the incidence of Grass Tetany. Cows cannot store Magnesium in their body for any more than 4 hours so it must be made available to them every day in the form of a nut or through the water system.

This is a well proven unique blend of essential minerals & vitamins, live yeast (Yeassac) and AcidBuf designed to improve rumen function and drive up intakes. All the essential minerals & vitamins associated with the high demands of lactation are catered for in this pack.

Yeast has been proven through many trials to improve Feed Conversion Efficiency by at least 10%. AcidBuf provides a slow release and long term buffering effect in ruminant diets. This will stabilise the rumen pH and combat digestive upsets caused by intensive feeding and/or lush spring grass.

It also contains Sel-plex, and Bio-plex Copper & Zinc which are important minerals associated with fertility.

Biotin is included to improve hoof health.

Magnesium is included in our feeds separately to the mineral in the form of Calmag. Magnesium helps to reduce the incidence of Grass Tetany. Cows cannot store Magnesium in their body so it must be made available to them every day in the form of a nut or through the water system.

This standard pack contains all the essential Minerals & Vitamins needed to support high levels of growth in beef cattle production. Optimum levels of Copper, Zinc, Iodine, Cobalt, Selenium and Manganese along with Vitamins A, D3, E, B1, B12 are all included to help achieve this production.  Yeast is added in to improve feed efficiency and rumen health.

PRE-CALVER PACKAGE

The dry cow period is a critical rest period for the dairy cow to allow her to prepare for the following lactation. It gives the animal time to build BCS for calving and repair udder tissue. Correct management during this period will minimise the risks of metabolic or fertility disorders post- calving.

  • Silage analysis – Quality and mineral analysis
  • Advice – Team of dairy experts who can offer support and advice including diet formulation to ensure target BCS is achieved whilst maintaining mineral balance
  • Products:
  1. Grennan’s Elite Pre-calver Mineral
  2. Easy Calver nuts (18 % nut with high level of oats, supplies all minerals (elite pre-calver) at 2kg feeding rate)
  3. Immuno Pre-calver Package
  • Contains Aromabiotic® which is a balanced mixture of medium chained fatty acids
  • Antioxidant – reduces cell and tissue damage, improving immune status and rumen function
  • Increased white blood cell activity
  • Improved appetite in early lactation reducing the rate of negative energy balance and risk of metabolic disorders
  • Improved immune status results in reduced levels of infections after calving

“I fed Immuno Pre-calver nuts at a feeding rate of 2.5 kg/cow/day from drying off through to calving down. Cows calved down on target and in good condition. Calves were lively and vigorous at birth with no cases of scour or supressed appetites. There were very little health problems in the herd after calving and cows milked well from the start. Cell count reduced in early lactation and cows showed strong signs of heat 3 weeks after calving. I continued to use the Aromabiotic® product in early lactation by feeding the Immuno Mega Milk 16. I will definitely use the Immuno Pre-calver nuts during the upcoming dry period. The Aromabiotic® mineral turned my herd inside out.” – Brian & Graeme Haslam, dairy farmers, Rathcabbin, Co. Tipperary
