Vitamix  

Our top immune support product, featuring a concentrated blend of Vitamins, Chelated Minerals and Electrolytes essential for the immune system to function effectively during times of metabolic stress.  

Let's focus on one of the most obvious aspects of dairy cow performance that are often undervalued.  Many people face problems with metritis, mastitis and poor breeding results for months after calving.  There's no doubt that this period of time is stressful on the body and the animal is most vulnerable to a number of bacterial and metabolic threats.   But many of these problems can be avoided in the first place by providing the animal with a better nutritional foundation during the dry period.  By providing the right nutrients, she will shed fetal membranes and fight off bacterial threats more efficiently and pass those nutrients onto the calf in gestation and through higher quality colostrum.  So now you have an animal better prepared to deal with the stress and begin lactation in a healthy state.  She will be able to produce more milk early on, her uterus will be much more healthy, fertility will be at optimum efficiency and her calf is healthier.  

Since studies show that 50% of clinical coliform mastitis that occur in the first 100 days in milk originate during the dry period and bacterial contamination occurs in up to 90% of dairy cows in the first week post partum (potentially leading to metritis), it is of the highest priority to properly supplement the dry cows in your herd, so that you're not killing your chances at reproductive success and overall dairy cow performance during lactation.

Not only that, calves that receive the proper immune supporting nutrients in gestation and immediately after birth will be stronger and able to fight off the threat of foreign pathogens that typically result in high mortality rates.  Scours accounts for half of all pre-weaned calf deaths.  Of those, 75% are treated with antibiotics. Clearly they don't work.  1/3 of all deaths in the first 3 weeks are blamed on poor colostrum quality. 

Any number of issues caused by compromised immune integrity will surely result in a higher mortality rate.  This is a very simple and proven process to give them the nutrients they need to develop a strong, healthy immune system to better withstand environmental factors.

Why not supplement the dam and the calf during gestation, benefit them both and have a more successful outcome after calving for everyone?
