Studies show that priming the dairy cow pre-calving with the three essential key trace elements, assists the cow to build her reserves with the net effect of bringing a positive impact on calving, milk production and reproduction.
Studies show selenium, copper and cobalt are directly linked to enhancing animal performance and IntenSE Trifecta contains a unique blend of the three biggies!
1. Selenium
Selenium is an anti-oxidant that works in conjunction with vitamin E in building the animal’s immune system. It plays a critical role in post-calving cleanings, milk production and reproduction.
2. Copper
Copper is stored in the liver and released as required. Essential to support milk production, fertility, growth and development.
3. Cobalt
Cobalt encourages appetite to ensure good growth rates, development and well-being. Essential for the formation of Vitamin B12.
Dosing Strategy:
Dose rate: 0.8ml/100kg liveweight/day
Dairy cows are treated with 4 to 6ml/cow/day with IntenSE Trifecta for 300 days.
Young stock 250kg - 2mL/animal/day
Begin at drying-off and continue dosing until 90 days after the end of mating.
To achieve reserve status it is imperative to start dosing the cow at drying-off. Studies show that for a dairy cow to build up liver reserves best results are achieved by adopting a ‘little and often’ approach.
