Dairy cows

Lactation is usually divided into:

• days-in-milk: 14 — 100 days;

• milk production: phase one – 100 to 200 days and phase two – 200 to 250 days.

During the days-in-milk period, the greatest amount of milk is received from freshly calved animals. For high milk productivity, animals should be provided with highly digestible energy feed. Low nutrition diets cannot provide full expression of the genetic potential of the animal. This period is extremely energy deficient. The animal replenishes this deficiency from its body's reserves which leads to a improper involution of the genital organs, extended service periods, ketosis and acidosis of the body.

In 100 days of lactation, milk production decreases. Consequently, the need for energy and nutrients is reduced. Excess available energy is deposited in the form of fatty tissue which can lead to pathological delivery.

The last phase of lactation is even more abundant in energy, as the cows further reduce their productivity.

The use of concentrated feed during the second and the third phase of lactation leads to the development of rumen acidosis, obesity, reproductive issues, to the timely and proper running of cows and an increase in the economic costs of milk production.

Possible issues

• Oxonemia.

• Ruminal acidosis.

• Problems associated with insemination of cows (extended service period).

• Reduced milk production.

• Udder disease (mastitis).

• Limb diseases.

• Pathological delivery.

Solution in feeding optimisation

• FEKORD-2012-F is a universal enzyme biocomplex able to destroy major antinutrients and increase feed digestion (energy, protein, amino acids, phosphorus, etc.) It is used to optimize the ruminal digestion, increase fibre digestibility and improve milk production. To be used with complete food at a dose of 1 kg per ton.

• GUMINOBIOTIC is a powerful immunomodulator agent based on humin acids, contributes to the decrease in the number of diseases and promotes resistance of the body.  It prevents mastitis. To be applied with feed mixture and complete food at a dose of 2 to 6 liters per ton.    

• DIATOKS-ULTRA is a mycotoxins sorbent (yeast cell walls, tripoli, activated sapropel) providing a high level of protection against mycotoxins and causal agents. To be used with complete food at a dose of 1 to 2 kg per ton.

• TETRABIOTIC-SPK is a probiotic (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis и Enterococcus faecallis). It is used for ruminal digestion optimisation, prophylaxis of gastrointestinal diseases and limb diseases, replaces antibiotics. To be applied with complete food at a dose of 0,5 kg per ton.

Results of feeding programme application:

• maximum implementation of genetic potential;

• Improved appetite and stimulated feed consumption;

• adjustment of the qualitative composition of milk (fat, protein);

• Increased milk production of lactating animals;

• prevention of caked udder;

• prevention of limb diseases.
