Pregnant Cow is an anionic feed developed for the use of the dry separated
milks 45-60 days before the birth. It is carefully formulated and produced to
regenerate the udder tissue in the dry period, to develop well the calf in the
womb, to have a quality colostrum after birth and to minimize metabolic
diseases.
Features
It is
used for feeding cows that are dried in the last 45-60 days of their pregnancy
according to body condition score and milk productivity.
The
energy and protein ratio of the feed is balanced in a way to prevent excessive
fat, and provides more milk intake when the cow enters the lactation period.
It
can be seen after birth due to oiling; It minimizes ketosis (diabetes),
abomasum displacement (stomach spinning), fatty liver, uterine inflammation and
failure to remove the end (spouse, ethen).
If
the nutritional recommendations are followed, no vitamin and mineral
supplements are needed. It minimizes the problems of milk fever and postpartum
breast edema.
In
the last period of pregnancy, the development of the baby in the womb is fast
and it supports the nutrients it needs and provides a healthy calf.
Advices
With
the dry period, the mammary glands of the pregnant animal rest, the body cells
are renewed, thus preparing for the new yield period in a healthy way.
The
animal taken into the dry period should be kept separately from the milks.
Thus, fry throwing can be prevented due to competition in the drinker and
feeder.
During
this period, our animals should not gain excess weight. Dry min. It should stay
45 max 75 days.
Clean
and fresh water should be kept in front of the animals in the dry period.
Roughage
to be used in dry period feeding should not be moldy, putrid or spoiled. They
can cause calf shedding and a decrease in immunity.
During
the dry period, dry or wet alfalfa grass, dry or wet beet pulp, raw materials
with high Ca and K content and milk feed should not be given.
It
should be mixed with milk feed 15-20 days before birth and the animal should
get used to milk feed.
Dry
matter intake of our animals should be checked frequently 15-20 days before
birth, and should be able to consume half of the milk ration in the week that
it will give birth.
Additives
with high sodium content such as salt and soda should not be given to the animal
during the dry period as it will increase udder edema.
