The mineral feed is an investment for the future. Both in the short and long term. The calf's performance as a cow is already established during the fetal stage. The quality of colostrum, the incidence of mastitis and calving paralysis, as well as the proportion of stillborn calves, are further examples of what is affected by the vitamin and mineral status during the transition period. Cows that have a stillborn calf produce less milk in the following lactation, as seen in trials.
Always feed a specific mineral for the transition period, both in beef and dairy production. 150 g per day throughout the transition period. Start about six weeks before the expected calving for heifers. We have 3 mineral feeds specifically for the transition period to choose from.
