Depending on the buffering capacity of the feed or drinking water, the use of organic acids reduces the pH value. This improves the hygienic properties of the feed and drinking water.
A targeted combination of vitamins and/or minerals can support various metabolic, hormonal, and immunological processes in times of increased demand and compensate possible deficiencies.
Milk fever, or hypocalcemia, affects cows during the transition period when they are at their most vulnerable. The sudden increase of milk production that comes with calving causes calcium demand to surge by 400% compared to the dry period. To meet this demand, the cow uses the calcium in her diet and releases stored calcium from her bones.
As such, milk fever is calcium deficiency with both clinical and subclinical forms. The consequences of clinical hypocalcemia are great. There is a high risk for fresh cow diseases and cows can die if not treated, Moreover, rumen function, uterus contractions, and teat closure, in addition to muscle function, can be affected.
Although subclinical hypocalcemia is much more common than clinical hypocalcemia, its effects are often severely underestimated. While a subclinical cow may appear normal, her performance will be less efficient due to the underlying calcium deficiency and will be more susceptible to disease.
There are several strategies for preventing milk fever, each with its own pros and cons. RumiPro® Anioni combines two of these strategies: a low dietary cation-anion difference and high magnesium. Increasing anions in circulation through the diet lowers excess base. These metabolic changes, along with increased parathyroid hormone and vitamin D3 activity, boost calcium bone mineralization and intestinal calcium uptake. In other words, RumiPro® Anioni stimulates a calcium turnover in dry cows comparable to that seen in lactating cows!
RumiPro® Anioni is produced using a special granulation process from a mixture of calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate. Its granular form minimizes its impact on feed palatability, and its porous structure ensures consistent release in the gastrointestinal tract. The granular form of RumiPro® Anioni also offers several technical advantages, including being dust-free for easy handling, having lower hygroscopicity, better homogeneity, and having good flowability.
RumiPro® Anioniis a modern milk fever prophylaxis. Its granulated structure improves acceptance and reduces dust formation and hygroscopicity. Overall,RumiPro® Anioniis a safe, flexible, cost-effective, and easy-to-use milk fever prophylaxis.
