These blocks are designed for essential fortification of dry cow requirements for vitamins A, D & E, protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements including selenium. High vitamin E and low NaCl salt with anionic emphasis helps fight milk fevers and udder edema.

1,100 units of vitamin E in combination with selenium (8 ppm) enhance the body defenses to protect against infectious agents for better calving, clean-up and rebreeding.

SweetPro® blocks have a solid magnesium profile and limited sodium chloride salt – thus minimizing the chances of udder edema. Instead, the emphasis is ANIONIC salts to prevent milk fever. Use of the anionic salts (ammonium and calcium sulfate) shifts the dietary cation-anion balance in a more anionic or negative direction to help lower blood and urine pH, increase calcium absorption and mobilization, cause higher blood calcium levels and 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

Other potential benefits include increased intake after calving, improved milk yield and improved conception rate along with decreased incidence of retained placenta, displaced abomasum, dystocia and udder edema.

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.

SweetPro® Dry Cow lick blocks are designed for essential fortification of dry cow requirements for vitamins A, D & E, plus protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements including selenium. Daily intake will vary depending on forage quality and nutritional needs. Expected range of consumption is from 0.5 to 1.5 pounds per head per day.
