Minimize time spent diagnosing transition issues.
In the competitive landscape of dairy farming, maximizing milk production and achieving optimal cow health are paramount goals. BIO-CHLOR was designed to meet these critical needs by delivering high-quality metabolizable protein (MP) and essential anions in a single, highly efficient formulation.
The BIO-CHLOR
Advantage:
- Supports start-up milk and peak milk production through enhanced rumen microbial protein synthesis and metabolizable protein supply during the transition period
- Enhances rumen microbial activity, improving digestibility and nutrient utilization
- Supports dry matter intake prepartum, leading to less time diagnosing off-feed issues postpartum
- Delivers the negative DCAD required to consistently acidify cows, helping prevent clinical and subclinical metabolic disorders
Increased Start-up Milk
Feeding BIO-CHLOR prepartum delivers higher start-up milk and 21-day yields than anionic salt diets formulated to the same negative DCAD level.
Reduced Transition Disease Incidence
A 42-study meta-analysis found that BIO-CHLOR supplementation not only improved milk production but also reduced total disease incidence per cow.
The ROI Opportunity Hidden in the Transition Period
When cows fail to receive adequate nutritional support during the transition period, the consequences compound quickly. When metabolizable protein (MP) needs are not met, cows enter lactation with depleted protein reserves, increasing the likelihood of reduced performance and transition-related challenges. The result can lead to:
- Increased treatment costs
- Greater labor requirements
- Higher culling and death loss of cows <60 DIM
- Lost production opportunities
- Reduced lifetime profitability
By delivering metabolizable protein and supporting a negative DCAD strategy, BIO-CHLOR helps cows enter lactation with the nutrients needed for stronger starts, better production, and improved profitability.
