Tips for a Smooth Calving
With calving on the horizon, pelletised mineral supplements help dairy farmers keep their herds healthy and productive. Words Sarah Perriam-Lampp.
As cows head into the nutrient demands of winter and early calving, the right mineral plan becomes essential. Pelletised mineral supplement is a reliable tool for consistent dosing, targeted nutrition and overall animal wellbeing.
Calving places intense nutritional demands on cows. Meeting those needs with accurate, targeted minerals can dramatically reduce health issues and set the herd up for a productive start to the season.
Vitalise, CP Lime’s pelletised mineral supplements, offer a practical, proven way to support both clinical and sub-clinical mineral requirements during this critical period.
It’s an accurate way to ensure a little and often dosing, with 100% utilisation and the ability to make custom blends for seasonal challenges that change nutrition demands.
Offering accurate and consistent dosing helps prevent common challenges such as milk fever, grass staggers and facial eczema, which remain prevalent in New Zealand dairy systems and can impact milk production, fertility and recovery post-calving.
By the time blood tests confirm a deficiency, the damage is often already done. Consistent supplementation ensures cows maintain production throughout the season.
