The dry period is a critical phase in the production cycle of dairy cattle. During this rest period, the cow recovers and prepares for calving. Therefore, a balanced ration is extremely important to promote both the health of the cow and the development and growth of the unborn calf. Herbamin Dry Green provides the vitamins and minerals needed at this important stage. Meeting the mineral and vitamin needs of dairy cattle is essential for achieving high milk yields and maintaining health and reproductive outcomes. The Herbamin range provides an optimal supply of vitamins and minerals, supplemented or not with yeasts, herbs and essential oils, aimed at the specific needs of dairy and beef cattle during different life stages or situations.

Ingrediënts
Minerals and vitamins
Properties
Magnesium: Magnesium plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism.
A deficiency in magnesium, especially during early lactation, can lead to milk fever even if calcium levels are adequate. Ensuring a balanced diet during the dry period helps prevent milk fever.Selenium supports the immune system development of the unborn calf. Cows that receive adequate selenium during the dry period tend to produce healthier calves. Selenium is also critical for the function of antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase, which protect cells from damage caused by free radicals – a key factor during the dry period as the cow prepares for the next lactation.
- Cobalt is an essential component of vitamin B12, which is synthesized by rumen microorganisms in ruminants. Adequate cobalt intake ensures sufficient vitamin B12 levels, vital for metabolism and overall health. Cobalt also strengthens the immune system, reducing susceptibility to infections and diseases during the dry period and early lactation.

Properties
- Vitamin E: Sufficient vitamin E in the dry period diet is crucial for overall health, productivity, and reproductive success. It provides antioxidant protection, enhances immune function, promotes wound healing, and supports the well-being of both the cow and her calf.
Vitamine A: During the dry period, the need for vitamin A increases due to the cow’s recovery and the development of the calf. Adequate intake supports growth, immune function, and overall health.
