RumiBloc Dry is a licking bucket for dry cows. In a healthy dry period you lay the foundation for the next lactation and the health of the calf. The composition of RumiBloc Dry is tailored to the needs during this important transition period. This licking bucket is enriched with herbs such as willow, purple coneflower and thyme to support the natural resistance of the cow and calf.
RumiBloc licking buckets are a convenient solution for supplementing nutritional needs in cattle in situations where adding supplements to feed is less practical, such as at pasture or for specific groups of animals, such as dry cows or heifers.
Challenge
During the dry period, dairy cows need specific nutrients to properly recover and prepare for the next lactation cycle. It is crucial to supplement deficiencies in their rations, especially since this period affects the health of both the cow and the unborn calf.
Solution
RumiBloc Dry is specially designed to meet the nutritional needs of cows during the dry period. Drying is a crucial period for the recovery and preparation of dairy cattle for calving and the next lactation. A well-managed dry period contributes to optimal health and increased milk production in the next lactation cycle.
In addition, the last weeks of gestation play an important role in the growth and development of the unborn calf. Supplementing the nutritional needs of dry cows is therefore essential for both cow and calf.

Ingrediënts
Minerals and vitamins
Properties
- Supplementing vitamin E and selenium during late gestation can significantly improve colostrum quality and bolster the health of both the cow and the foetus.
- Magnesium plays an important role in calcium metabolism.Magnesium deficiency can cause milk sickness, especially early in lactation. Even when calcium levels are adequate. Milk sickness is preventable with a well-balanced dry matter ration. Furthermore, supplementing magnesium during dry heat can reduce stress as well as support a healthy transition to lactation.
- Choline: During the dry period and early lactation, dairy cows may face a negative energy balance that can lead to fatty liver disease.
Choline helps prevent fat accumulation in the liver, supports liver function and reduces the risk of fatty liver disease. A well-functioning liver and improved energy balance also contribute to a stronger immune system. This means cows are more resistant to disease and infection, which is crucial during vulnerable times such the dry period and early lactation.
