Dairy Cows with DA recover using SweetPro FiberMate18 blocks

March 2005, Mont Alto, PA - Things have been looking up for two local cows with Displaced Abomasums (DA) at Gaymere Farms a dairy in Mont Alto, Pa. Curtis Carbaugh, herd manager, credits their improved health to the recent addition of SweetPro FiberMate18 blocks.  Carbaugh had received information about the blocks from Snider's Elevator, Inc, a nearby feed mill in Lemasters, PA. 

After being told about the benefits of SweetPro blocks, Carbaugh decided to give the non-molasses distillers grain based blocks a try. Plus he heard the blocks contain protein, vitamins and organic-complexed minerals.

Soon Mark Gayman, the farm's owner, noticed that the DA cows looked healthier. Carbaugh explained to him that the cows were now receiving the benefits of SweetPro blocks, which he had placed outside the milking parlor for the convenience of the herd. He also conveyed to his boss that both cows not only were looking better but that their milk production had increased as well.

Carbaugh also reports that to date only the cows that need additional nutrition are utilizing the blocks. The cows stop by the blocks for a few "licks" as they leave the milking parlor, including the two recovering cows.

Carbaugh states that he is very pleased with the performance improvements the SweetPro blocks have shown in overall herd health and milk production. In addition to the SweetPro FibreMate18, Gaymere Farms uses SweetPro's Fresh Start dairy lactation supplement in their rations.
