Before working with Liz we were introducing the calves to a milking cow diet when they were weaned. Liz changed this to a straw and cake diet and we’ve seen great results. DLWG is good, we are gaining an additional 0.15kg and they are growing into a good frame rather than being pot-bellied.
Novatan
The ideal solution to improve protein efficiency in dairy cow diets, Novatan is a novel blend of essential oils and select trace elements
Benefits
- Improve rumen and protein efficiency of the diet
- Improve milk production and protein
- Reduction of urea concentration in the milk
- Reduce metabolic disorders
These result in less ammonia in the rumen, a reduced blood and milk urea level and less protein wasted. This will lead to improved rumen efficiency, milk production and protein output and it will help reduce metabolic disorders.
It can also allow us to substitute expensive protein sources with cheaper protein ingredients and get the same output results.
Why do we worry about high levels of urea in blood?
- Lowers uterine pH
- Potential toxic effect on reproductive health
- Hormonal imbalance - lowers level of progesterone during the early breeding period
Advanced Nutrition has designed a new dairy concentrate called GrazeMore+N which includes Novatan.
