Florent Lisbet, a livestock farmer with about 80 Montbeliarde cows in the Hauts-Pays in the province of Hainaut, uses HerbaDry, Herbamin Dry and Herbamas products to dry feed his cows.
I have been using HerbaDry to dry feed my cows for over 6 years.
The benefit to me is that I never use antibiotic dryers again and thus reduce the overall antibiotic use on my farm. Two days before the cows are dry, I give them straw as much as they want and about 2 kg of corn so that milk production goes down well.
I give that for 8 days and at the last milking they get a dose of HerbaDry.
Then they get a drying ration: 12-13 kg corn, lots of straw and 100 gr Herbamin Dry.
If I have a problem with a cow with a high somatic cell count, I combine it with Herbamas one week before calving (2 doses with 1 day in between).
This results in a decrease in somatic cell count and no mastitis at calving.
Inhibits milk production and aids in the drying of dairy cattle. Allowed in organic farming.
HerbaMas supports udder health and lowers the somatic cell count.
Herbamin Cell improves udder health and lowers somatic cell count in dairy cattle.
