Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the transition period for cattle?

This is the period from three weeks before to three weeks after calving, when the cow transitions from dry period to milk production. The burden on the metabolism and immune system is then greatest.

Why are calcium products important after calving?

Cows lose a lot of calcium through milk production. Calcium deficiency (milk fever) can lead to muscle weakness and ketosis. Timely supplementation supports muscle function and metabolism.

When do I use propylene glycol?

For (impending) ketosis or decreased appetite. Propylene glycol provides readily available energy and supports liver function in the first weeks after calving.

What is the difference between bolus and drenching?

A bolus is administered orally and dissolves in a controlled manner. Drenching (administration via a tube) is suitable for the rapid administration of larger volumes of fluid.

How do I know if my cow is suffering from ketosis?

Symptoms include lethargy, decreased appetite, and poor milk production. You can check BHB levels in urine or milk using a ketone tester or test strip.
