CowDrink-Is Your Cow a Drinker?
In our post “What is Really Happening During Transition?”, we talked about how the six weeks surrounding calving is so critical to overall herd health and farm economics. Our suggestion to help prevent any metabolic issues and lost productivity during this transition period, is Trouw Nutrition’s Cow Drink, the drinkable drench. Just to recap, Cow Drink is a nutritional supplement drench for dairy cows. The extremely palatable, drinkable drench delivers the important vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes that are lost during calving. Not only does this help get the cow’s appetite back but overall, helps her transition from calving into lactation.
So what’s the difference between CowDrink and other drenches?
- It’s a true drinkable drench, reducing the stress on the cow and the workload on you. CowDrink is very palatable, so they actually want to drink it!
- Cow Drink is very soluble and is easily mixed into warm water (needs to be at least 100°F). Plus, the guesswork is taken out by the temperature-sensitive color indicator. When mixed, the drink will turn orange letting you know it’s ready!
- The fast-absorbing Calcium and Magnesium reduce the risk of metabolic problems and milk fever.
