Herbamin Dry is specifically designed to meet the vitamin and mineral needs of dry cows, featuring high levels of rumen-protected choline, organically bound selenium, and vitamin E. Meeting the mineral and vitamin needs of dairy cattle is essential for optimizing milk production, maintaining good health, and ensuring reproductive performance.
Herbavita’s HERBAMIN range provides an optimal supply of vitamins and minerals, whether or not supplemented with yeasts, herbs and essential oils, tailored to the specific needs of dairy and beef cattle at various stage of life or under different conditions. Tip: We can supply Herbamin-Dry can in combination with RumiForm-Yeast+ as one product.

Challenge

During the dry period, a dairy cow must recover, gain strength and prepare optimally for calving and the next lactation. This phase is crucial in both the cow’s production cycle and for the development of the unborn calf. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the cow with high-quality, balanced nutrition and adequate rest so that she can perform optimally in the next lactation.

Solution

Herbamin-Dry provides a tailored solution for dry cows by meeting increased vitamin and mineral needs. The addition of rumen-resistant choline, organically bound selenium, vitamin E and essential oils supports the health of the cow during the dry period. It also contributes to proper growth and development of the unborn calf.

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.
  • Organically bound selenium: Cows that get enough selenium during dry heat will have healthier calves because selenium is important for immune system development in the unborn calf. Selenium is also essential for the action of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, which help prevent cell damage from free radicals. This is especially important during the dry period, when the cow’s body is preparing for the next lactation period.
  • 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.

Minerals and vitamins
Properties

  • Rumen-protected choline: During the dry period and early lactation, dairy cows often face a negative energy balance, increasing the risk of fatty liver disease or hepatic lipidosis. Choline is essential for transporting fats from the liver to other parts of the body. Rumen-protected choline helps prevent fat accumulation in the liver, supports liver function, and reduces the risk of fatty liver. A healthy liver and improved energy balance also enhance the immune system, making cows more resistant to diseases and infections during critical periods like dry heat and early 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.
