Downland Post Calver Sachet
Downland Post Calver is a palatable drink for cows straight after calving, here as a single 1kg sachet. It supplies energy, calcium and electrolytes for rehydration, and Downland formulate it to help reduce the risk of post-calving problems and support a quick recovery.
Key features
- Electrolytes, to aid rehydration and encourage feed intake
- Fast-acting energy, to help support the cow's increased requirements
- Calcium, to meet the increased demand from milk production
- Vitamins A, D and E, to support the immune system
- Given as a drink, which Downland say provides rumen fill. Rumen fill can help reduce the incidence of left displaced abomasum (LDA)
Feeding
Each 1kg sachet is dissolved in warm water to make a drink. The pack explains when to offer it. Downland's advice is to give it to all cows immediately after calving, when they are most likely to eat and drink. A cow that is down or seriously unwell needs your vet.
