CATION REM

Nutritional solution for steaming-up/close up phase that prevents clinical and subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cows and manages forage’s mineral variability in feed ration

CATION REM – NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION FOR STEAMING UP/CLOSE UP PHASE THAT PREVENTS CLINICAL AND SUBCLINICAL HYPOCALCEMIA IN DAIRY COWS AND MANAGES FORAGE’S MINERAL VARIABILITY IN THE FEED RATION

In the steaming up/close up phase, it’s very important to add the right minerals’ amount, in compliance with the dairy cows’ needs proposed for some years now by the world bibliography, even if it is difficult to implement in daily practice. Infact, the fodder used in the steaming up/close up phase, often brings minerals in excessive quantities compared to the needs, especially as regards cations amount (K+ and Na+ in primis) risking formulating a ration with a high DCAD and exposing dairy cow to metabolic alkalosis and related induced hypocalcemia.

The mineral that, often, creates considerable problems is certainly potassium due to the considerable variability within the forages and the impossibility of relying on standard data to be applied in the rationing phase.

CATION REM solution, inserted in the ration 15 days before calving, allows a potassium absorption equal to 50% of the total intake in the ration. This makes it possible to balance the mineral intake, regardless of ration administered type, avoiding continuous checks, preventing clinical and subclinical hypocalcemia, simplifying daily management and reducing work stress.

Granda Team’s CATION REM solution, inserted in the feed steaming up/close up feed ration, allows you to:

SIMPLIFY and STANDARDIZE the daily process linked to dry ration management compared to an anion strategy (DCAD)

MINIMIZE diagnostic checks

Blood tests to check the blood Calcium (Ca+) ionized fraction and urine tests to check potassium (K) excretion are reduced to once a month compared to a usual weekly check to be carried out when a simple anionic strategy is implemented.

DO NOT MAKE IT NEEDED a food strategy change (it integrates perfectly with the ration used)

Significantly REDUCE the POST-PARTUM DISEASES (clinical and subclinical hypocalcemia, metritis, retained placenta) impact

Significantly INCREASE the daily MILK PRODUCTION as the cows emerge healthy from the peripartum period

CATION REM solution use in close-up/steaming up feed ration, has drastically reduced the postpartum pathologies incidence (hypocalcemia, retained placenta, metritis, etc.):
