With
the beginning of calving season, comes increased feed costs,
high labor demands for both feeding and calving, but most
importantly, the birth of a healthy and vigorous calf to
generate revenue for your ranching enterprise.
The increase in nutritional requirements of the cow 60
days prior to calving is tremendous. Additionally, weather
becomes an enemy forcing the feeding of more and better
feed which is expensive and requires a great amount of
time.
Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds' Calving Program is designed
to provide the highest level and quality of minerals to
ensure that the newborn calf has the vigor to get up and
obtain essential colostrum from the cow within 6 to 8 hours.
After this time, colostrum effectiveness drops as much
as 50%, cheating the calf of natural immunities.
Additionally, Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds can help you maintain
cow body condition during this period which is critical
for breeding. Research shows that cows with a body condition
of 5 have an 88% chance of returning to estrus within 80
days as compared to a 68% chance for cows in a body condition
of 4 or less.
Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds' Calving Program is designed
to ensure that cows that are bred have the best chance
possible to succesfully calve a healthy, vigorous calf
in a cost effective manner
