Barastoc Lead-up Dairy Cubes
A specialist pelleted feed formulated with anionic salts providing pre-calving dairy cows the best possible start to their demanding calving and milk production phases.
Features & Benefits
- Nutrient specification designed to maximise pre-calving cow health and to help minimise possible future health problems; e.g. poor feed intake after calving and metabolic disorders that can reduce milk yield and decrease reproductive performance.
- Energy sources include grains to help with rumen pre-conditioning and reduce the risk of impaired rumen function in early lactation.
- Includes high quality protein sources (e.g. canola meal, soya bean meal, lupins etc.) to help boost protein reserves for early lactation.
- Supplies correct balance of minerals, trace elements and vitamins, to maintain the health and well-being of the high producing cow.
- Includes anionic salts to help modify the electrolyte balance of the diet. Incorrect electrolyte balance can increase the risk of hypocalcaemia (milk fever).
- Palatable ingredients in a pelleted form to reduce separation and selection.
- Ingredients selected from cereal grains and cereal by-products, legumes and legume by-products, vegetable protein meals, molasses, fats and oils, minerals, trace elements and vitamins.
- Includes a mould control agent to help reduce the risk of mould growth.
Feeding Directions
- Feed for a minimum of 14 days prior to calving, at a rate of 2 – 3 kg per cow per day.
- For alternative feeding programmes consult your nutritionist.
- If slow to start eating, blend with grain or silage to encourage intake.
- After calving, the lactating dairy diet including Barastoc dairy feeds should be fed.
- Ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available.
