Frans, the driving force behind dairy farm J.M.H. Kwinten, manages a herd of 150 cows using robotic milking systems. For him, everything is about efficiency without compromising the health of his cattle.
Frans shares his experience with Herbavita and the change he has experienced.
“Initially, I faced challenges such as too high somatic cell count, reduced fertility, increasing cases of mortellaro and even rumen acidosis in 50% of my cows,” says Frans.
That’s when he decided to start administering Herbavita products. His herd received Herbamin Power, Herbamin Dry and RumiForm Yeast+, among others. “After about six weeks, the problems started to decrease. Not only did my cows look better, but their overall health improved significantly. I have to admit that I was farm-blind and sometimes didn’t pay close attention to the problems or areas for improvement. Thanks to Herbavita’s guidance, I regained my sharpness in management. Penile acidosis is now a thing of the past, and I even save on concentrate feed now.” he adds.
Frans emphasizes the valuable aspect of the independent advice he receives from Herbavita: “The independent advice I receive from Herbavita makes all the difference. It is tailored to my specific needs as a dairy farmer.”
Meike, advisor at Herbavita, adds, “It is always our priority to provide dairy farmers like Frans with customized solutions and advice. We not only want to improve cattle performance, but also ensure the overall well-being of the animals.”
In addition to minerals and yeast products, Frans also uses by-products such as HerbaMas and Rumiform Energy to take his cows’ health and performance to the next level.
Kwinten’s success story clearly illustrates the positive impact of Herbavita’s natural nutritional supplements and expert guidance on modern dairy farms.
HerbaMas supports udder health and lowers the somatic cell count.
Herbamin Dry supports dairy cattle during the dry period and prepares them for calving and the next lactation.
Supports udder and claw health and fertility in dairy cattle.
Improves digestion, milk production and meat quality and reduces methane emissions.
Improves the energy balance of dairy cattle during lactation and reduces ketone formation
HerbaMas supports udder health and lowers the somatic cell count.
