Features & Benefits

Dietary Escape Microbial Protein (EMP).
A unique, high-quality protein source that delivers a complete array of essential amino acids to the dry cow.

Optigen®.
Provides sustained availability of ammonia to the rumen environment, resulting in enhanced microbial protein production, fiber digestion and efficient rumennitrogen capture.

Select GH®. 
Maintains gut health and integrity, promotes good bacteria and builds defenses, supports the efficient transfer of nutrients from cow to calf.

Yea-Sacc®1026. 
Live yeast cells that stimulate the growth of ruminal bacteria, improves rumen fermentation, fiber digestion and feed efficiency.

Rumen-protected Choline. 
Improves liver function, reduces fatty liver, ketosis and energy related disorders.

Director®. 
A proprietary alternative energy source that increases milk production, improves dry matter intake and lowers non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA).

Synergy®. 
A food-grade glycerol supplement that improves liver function, lowers levers of BHBA and NEFA improving dry matter intake and milk production.

Modified soybean meal. 
An excellent source of rumen escape protein providing cows with essential amino acids necessary for optimal milk production.

Fermentable fibre. 
Promotes proper rumen adaptation and stabilizes the rumen environment.

Supplemental vitamin E. 
Helps optimize animal health and performance.

Medicated option. 
Contains 100 mg/kg of monensin sodium.

Advantages

  • Promotes consistent and adequate energy intake.
  • Minimizes the extent and duration of postpartum negative energy balance.
  • Helps prevent disease problems associated with negative energy balance.
  • Minimizes the mobilization of NEFA from adipose tissue triglycerides, and thus reduces the incidence of Fatty Liver Syndrome.
  • Helps to improve milk production, increasing herd profitability.
