Start giving Vitamix (2oz) 3 to 4 times daily till the cow is completely dry.
When the cow is completely dry, stop the Vitamix and continue giving the Formula M again.
(She will continue getting her Formula M all the time until you dry her off the next time).
About 1½ to 2 weeks before she freshens start giving her Vitamix (2oz) 3 to 4 times daily until she freshens.
If her SCC stays around 100,000 you can stop the Vitamix and just continue with the Formula M. If her SCC goes up, then increase her Vitamix to (2oz) 6 times daily at least 1 hour apart until you get her SCC down to 100,000. When her SCC is back to 100,000 you can stop the Vitamix. (UNLESS she has Staph or Strep. If she has Staph or Strep when she freshens, than once you get the SCC down to 100,000 and she is clear on the CMT Paddle, continue the Vitamix an additional 2 weeks at the 6 times daily at least 1 hour apart.)
To help prevent, feed less silage and more long stem grass hay.
When showing symptoms, drench with 1 cup of Baking Soda dissolved in water.
Feed Vitamix and White Lightning (call for instructions)
Take away all salt so the animal will be salt hungry. Mix one cup feed grade salt to each five gallons of water and pour over the Diatomaceous Earth to completely wet it but not leaving any water standing on top. If you want it as a paste you can add enough water to make it moister; if you want it as a block use less water and as it dries it will harden.

Start on Vitamix, from the day they are born until they are about 4 months old.
Vitamix provides vitamins and minerals including Vitamins A, C & E, Calcium, Copper, Selenium, Zinc Calcium Pantothenate and Direct Fed Microbials.
Vitamix feeding suggestions: Feed Vitamix one level teaspoon twice a day, everyday in the milk or non-medicated milkreplacer. For extra support, increase Vitamix to 6 times a day at least 1 hour apart; 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening; as needed.
Once your calves are 4 months old we suggest using Formula 7 until they reach breeding age.
Formula 7 provides Direct Fed Microbials and helps to transition the young stock from milk to grain.
Formula 7 feeding suggestions: Feed 1 slightly rounded teaspoon twice daily per 1,000 lbs. of body weight.
Once your heifers have reached breeding age, discontinue the Formula 7 and feed Formula M to every cow twice a day, every day.
Formula M provides vitamins and minerals including Vitamins A, C & E, Calcium, Copper, Selenium, Zinc and Direct Fed Microbials.
Formula M feeding suggestions: Feed 1 heaping teaspoon twice daily. A 5-gallon bucket feeds approximately 45 head for 1 month.
Feed Vitamix twice daily to freshening cows for extra support.
