Once
weaning is complete, the process of cow nutritional mangement
for another year of production begins. The Post Weaning
phase of production is critical from the standpoint that
while trying to rebuild body condition in the cow, it is
desired to hold costs down.
Typically, winter feeding is 60 days away and we are trying
to extend the use of our summer grass, utilize crop residues
or basically trying to get by on lower quality roughages.
Additionally, the cow's nutrient requirements are starting
to increase as 70% of fetal development will occur within
the final trimester of gestation.
Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds' Post Weaning Program is designed
to increase the plane of nutrition of the cow gradually
as her nutrient needs increase closer to calving. By beginning
supplementation following weaning, we can develop the mineral
levels necessary to meet the needs of fetal development.
Additionally, because of Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds' university
proven ability to increase fiber digestibility, the cattleman
can effectively utilize lower quality forages such as weathered
grass and crop residues to lower his overall feeding program
cost.
Consistent intake of known quantities of protein, energy,
minerals and vitamins during the post weaning phase is
the initial step to ensuring a high plane of nutrition
and maximum performance at calving.
