The importance of the dry cow period with regards to nutrition is vital.
We feel that there are a lot of so called 'dry cow rations' on the market that do not give the animal what it needs in terms of good nutrition and the adequate vitamin and mineral levels.
This is what we at GP FEEDS LTD put into our PRE CALVER ROLLS if feeding 2½ kgs per day:
| VITAMIN A IU/DAY | 100,000 |
| VITAMIN D IU/DAY | 30,000 |
| VITAMIN E IU/DAY | 1,000 |
| SELENIUM MG/DAY | 4.00 |
| PROTECTED COPPER | YES |
| PROTECTED ZINC | YES |
| YEAST | YES |
| PRAIRIE MEAL as bypass protein | YES |
