Cattle feed additives, from calf to dairy cow
Calf, heifer, dairy cow or beef cattle: from ration to housing, each step has its own challenges. Here are those our platforms work on, in the feed, through the water or as a drench.
Which additives for cattle, step by step?
Each step links to the pages of the platforms concerned.
A sound ration
Mycotoxins and moulds in forages and concentrates: the rumen breaks down part of the toxins, not aflatoxin. The rate is given per kilogram of dry-matter intake.
The calf
Starting, weaning, bouts of diarrhoea: calf feed palatability, water, electrolytes and pectins.
Around calving
Calcium at calving, then support for the fresh cow.
Digestion and heat
Betaine, tannins and a postbiotic in the ration; aromatic substances through the water when the heat rises.
The barn
Dry bedding is easier to manage: a drying agent on the lying area.
Frequently asked questions
Is the rate the same as for pigs and poultry?
No: in ruminants, a mycotoxin binder rate is given per kilogram of dry-matter intake, not per tonne of feed.
