Reducing metabolic risk in transition cows
Calcium supplementation in freshly calved cows provides significant benefits during the critical postpartum period.
As the year starts, many spring-calving herds are beginning to turn their focus towards calving. Managing freshly calved dairy cows is a critical aspect of dairy farming, directly influencing the health of both the cow and her calf, as well as the overall productivity of the herd.Â
This period, often referred to as the transition period, requires close attention to nutrition, health, and overall management practices. The cornerstone of managing fresh cows correctly is increasing dry matter intake so cows can meet their energy demands post-calving.
