Nutritional Solution
• Promotes further dehydration due to expelling of vapor • Attempts to decrease body temperature
Specially selected electrolytes and energy sources are proven to help: • Encourage water intake
• Promotes lethargy, reduced feed intake, and milk yield • Jeopardizes fertility
• Improve dry matter intake
• Without the contribution of this buffering effect the rumen pH can drop to dangerously low levels
• Re-establish positive energy balance
• Dehydration of cells and tissues - cells cannot efficiently transport fluids or nutrients • Immune system at risk
• Improve milk production
• Blood is no longer available for proper nutrient flow • Intestines are at risk of becoming hypoxic
• Replenish electrolyte balance
• Reduce production losses • Transition cows faster for higher peak milk
• Potential for subacute or clinical acidosis • Further encourages low feed intake • Reduced milk production and components • Potential for metabolic issues • Hoof/laminitis problems
Nutritional Solution
• Compromised follicle health and gestation • Delayed uterine involution and ovulation • Reduced body condition and embryonic survival
