Crystalyx Pre-Calver is a dehydrated molasses block containing a range of nutrients designed to build nutrient reserves in cows during the dry period, before the stressful calving time.
Crystalyx Pre-Calver works by balancing pasture deficiencies and replenishing the animal’s trace element and vitamin reserves prior to calving to:
Dry Cow Feeding:
Many dry cows receive no special attention during this most important period and are often expected to graze pasture in a cleaning up role. For a very small investment in Crystalyx Pre-Calver (28c-40c per cow per day) the forage diet can be supplemented to ensure there are no nutritional deficiencies and help the dry cow to recover to optimum condition prior to calving.
Research carried out at Liggins Institute in New Zealand showed that giving access of Crystalyx Pre-Calver to dairy cows pre calving and early lactation significantly reduced the incidences of milk fever, mastitis and the need for assisted calving. Crystalyx Pre-Calver has also been shown to substantially increase the levels of selenium and zinc found in the cows bloodstream.
