SweetPro^® Calver/Breeder - Dry Cow Premium Feed Supplements
Net Wt. 250 lbs. (114 kg)

Fortified Protein Supplement for Dry Cows



Dry Cows
Both dairy and beef cows are close to calving.
Both have similar needs. Now there’s a new block to meet the nutritional requirements of both!

Rest & Ready

Yes, they're getting a needed rest, but they're also getting ready for the next lactation.  Now there's a convenient new tool to improve dry cow nutrition...

Vitamin Requirements During Dry Period

Vitamin E in abundance. Check the tag -- 1,100 units of "E"! In combination with selenium (8 ppm) they enhance the body defenses to protect against infectious agents. That means better calving, clean-up and rebreeding.

Vitamins A, D and E are all important for proper dry cow nutrition. Vitamin "A" to supplement when forages have been weather-damaged or heated in storage.
Vitamin "D" helps assist where sun curing of forage leaves is limited.

Udder Edema

Insufficient levels of magnesium during the dry period limit calcium mobilization and that contributes to udder edema. SweetPro^© blocks have a solid magnesium profile. Strategic salt selection is the key here. SweetPro© blocks have limited sodium chloride salt -- thus minimizing the chances of udder edema.
Instead, the emphasis is ANIONIC salts.

Use of Anionic Salts to Prevent Milk Fever

A recent innovation in prevention of milk fever in dairy cows is the feeding of anionic salts prior to calving. Commonly used anionic salts include ammonium sulfate and calcium sulfate, both of which are included in
SweetPro^© Dry Cow / Calver-Breeder blocks.
Use of the anionic salts shifts the dietary cation-anion balance in a more anionic or negative direction. Research indicates that an anionic diet will:

Lower blood and urine pH
Increase calcium absorption and mobilization
Cause higher blood calcium levels
Decrease the incidence of milk fever

Potential benefits of feeding SweetPro^© Dry Cow with anionic salts (besides increasing blood calcium levels and decreasing milk fever) include:

Enhanced muscle tone.
Increased intake after calving.
Decreased incidence of retained placenta, displaced abomasum,
dystocia (difficult calving), and udder edema.
Improved milk yield and improved conception rate.
