Wesfed Dry Cow Block is a mineral, trace mineral and vitamin supplement with anionic salts for steam-up cows 21 days before calving. Feeding cows properly in the transition period ensures higher DMI soon after calving which minimizes the risk of metabolic diseases, eg. ketosis and displaced abomasum.
Recommended Intake
Steam-up Cow: 2 - 2,5 kg per head per day
N.B. Do not feed the Dry Cow Block to close up heifers.
Feeding Recommendation
Wesfed Dry Cow Block is fed ad lib together with roughage. Avoid feeding hay such as lucerne that is high in potassium and calcium as this roughage can increase the incidence of milk fever and udder edema. Prevent udder edema by keeping pre-partum cows away from salt until calving. Make sure all the blocks are placed on well-drained areas and that all animals have access to adequate roughage or pasture where the lick blocks are placed.
