TransitionTec

Dry cows are hugely important and often overlooked, however, what happens in the dry period can affect her entire milk yield as well as her daughters performance which has been proven in controlled research settings.

Our nutritionists will review your dry cows regularly looking at:

  • Dry cow and fresh cow body condition score
  • Body condition change
  • Dry cow rumen fill which is hugely influential in reducing the level of ketosis a cow develops
  • Monitoring metabolic disease such as RFM, milk fever and metritis 
  • Forage mineral analysis

We will use information collected to make nutritional decisions to ensure the transition period is as smooth as possible for your cows.
