Evidence shows that dry cows supplemented with protected methionine have:
- Increased milk yields, by 3.4%
- Increased milk protein percentage, by 0.18% units
- Increased energy-corrected milk, by 3.9kg/day
- Increased milk fat yield by 0.18kg/day
- Reduced incidence rate of ketosis after calving
- Improved immune function

12mm Diameter Roll
Launched a year ago, this 12mm diameter roll is (in our opinion) “state of the art” for transition cow nutrition.
Massive levels of vitamins combined with extremely high quality proteins and a negative DCAB balance help maintain a healthy cow before and after calving.
Based on work by J.S. Osorio, P. Ji, J.K. Drackley, D. Luchini and J.J. Loor (J. Dairy Sci. 96: 6248-6263)
