In dairy cows, the

transition from gestation to lactation results in a sudden, large demand for

calcium. In this episode, our experts review a study conducted at the

University of Wisconsin, where a fully acidogenic prepartum diet was fed with

varying levels of dietary calcium prior to an ETGA challenge to induce

hypocalcemia. Listen to learn which strategy prepared cows better for a

hypocalcemic challenge.

In this episode, we dive

deep into a study conducted at the University of Illinois, where a fully

acidogenic prepartum diet was fed with varying levels of dietary calcium.

Listen to learn the results on which strategy helped support reproductive

performance and overall greater cow health.

the feeding and management of a prepartum dairy cow. What

and how you feed her can significantly impact her health and performance. In this episode, experienced dairy account managers discuss why feeding an acidogenic prepartum diet is so important.

researchers answer this question, provide best practice recommendations and highlight a new form of vitamin D3.

guidelines for formulating acidogenic diets. Chloride, sulfur, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium - we'll cover them all and explain the biological response behind each recommendation.

hypocalcemia can potentially produce less milk and are at greater risk of developing negative health outcomes. The good

news is that proper nutrition and management within the prepartum period can significantly reduce the negative impacts that hypocalcemia has on the cow – and the negative impact hypocalcemia has on dairy farm profitability. This

podcast episode will dive deeper into the various strategies around compensated metabolic acidosis – and we’re going to break it all down for you.
