744 SPRINGER LEADFEED + BIOCHLOR DAIRY PELLETS


Specific Design: This product is specifically designed for feeding dry dairy cows during the 3 weeks prior to expected calving date, to assist in maintaining body condition and preparing the rumen to receive high concentrate diets in the dairy. Contains BioChlor (a source of anions and intake stimulant), and a low calcium level to assist in preventing milk fever, magnesium to assist in preventing grass tetany and Monensin to assist in preventing ketosis around calving time. Reduced metabolic disease, improved condition and successful adaptation to grain diets will lead to improved reproductive performance and higher milk production over the whole lactation.
