INTERMAG suggests the use of:
Benefits
it makes breathing easier
improves lung ventilation
reduces the development of pathogens in the respiratory system
supports the treatment of inflammation of the respiratory tract
Calves often suffer from non-specific diarrhoea, which persist even after antibiotic treatment. In such cases, coccidiosis, a very common parasitic disease in young ruminants, may be suspected. In areas with a risk of a large prevalence of coccidia, DIGEST is recommended for calves from 7 days old. Such prophylaxis allows the occurrence of the disease to be minimized and stubborn diarrhoea, which can lead to cachexia, to be avoided.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• DIGEST
Benefits
requires no withdrawal period, may be used throughout whole breeding period
no reports of coccidia resistance to the active ingredients contained in the plant extracts
exhibits an additional bacteriostatic and immunostimulatory effect
rich source of antioxidants
improves feed utilisation and enhances weight gain
increases secretion of bile
increases enzymatic activity of the intestinal mucosa
Diarrhoeal syndrome is a serious problem in the rearing of young ruminants. The first symptoms occur between the first and fourth day of life and are caused by early viral or bacterial infections.
The reasons for this can be found in neglected colostrum intake or poor quality colostrum. One of the solutions to this problem is to administrate electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, or chlorine, which regulate the cation-anion balance.
INTERMAG suggest the use of:
• RUMIXAN HYDRO
Benefits
relieves the effects of stress
hydration of the animal's body and replenishing the level of electrolytes
reduction of energy losses
faster recovery after sickness
Negative energy balance resulting in subclinical ketosis is a common metabolic disease developing in ruminants with a highyield milk production potential. This negative balance significantly reduces productivity and increases sensitivity to many diseases such as mastitis, metritis, and abomasum dislocation.
In such situations, it is very important to react appropriately, to provide the animal with complementary feeds with a sufficient amount of easily absorbable energy and trace substances to relieve the liver and to improve its functions.
INTERMAG suggest the use of:
• KETOWEG®
Benefits
better condition of the animal
improved fertility
increased productivity
increase in dry matter intake
Ketosis is a common metabolic disease mainly occurring in cows with a high-yield milk production potential as a result of a negative energy balance and abnormal metabolism associated with energy shortages.
On farms with an average milk yield of 6000 kg per 305 days of lactation, ketosis occurs in 20% of cows. The highest risk of ketosis occurs between days 10 and 50 of lactation.
The ideal solution is the administration of glucoplastic substances which increase blood glucose content and reduce the concentration of ketone bodies, supplementation with vitamins (niacin and choline) which regulate fat metabolism pathways and prevent fatty liver syndrome, as well as supplementation with vitamin E, zinc, and selenium, which stimulate the cow’s resistance to infections.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• KETOWEG®
• KETOWEG® Fit
Benefits
reduction in synthesis of ketone bodies
improvement in glucose synthesis and ammonia detoxification in liver
improved animal condition
improved fertility
At the beginning of lactation in cows, after calf delivery, colostrum secretion begins.
The daily forage ration is often insufficient with the high demand for calcium in animals that occurs during this period. Lack of proper preparation of the animal may result in hypocalcaemia. Calcium-energy metabolism disorder is the main cause of postpartum paralysis in high-yielding cows. This may have a strong effect on the farmer’s revenue. Appropriate complementary feeds administered at the right time help stabilise energy metabolism and avoid hypocalcaemia and placental retention.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• PIDOLAC
Benefits
supply of high-content, rapidly absorbable calcium, supplementing deficiencies of this element in the animal
supply of magnesium and vitamin D3, which increase efficiency of calcium absorption and reduce the risk of hypocalcaemia
stabilisation of nervous and cardiovascular system and heart
supply of glucoplastic substances which increase glucose level in blood
supplementation of manganese which is involved in energy and protein metabolism and prevents repro ductive system disorders
increased immunity and acceleration of regenerative processes after parturition, due to content of Echinacea purpurea extract
Spring is the time when insemination of ruminants is most beneficial for milk production economics. However, many farmers face the problem of “silent heat”.
This problem often affects high-yielding dairy cows, which can experience energy shortages. The phenomenon is also caused by unbalanced nutrition and an insufficient feed ratio balance. A deficiency of exogenous amino acids results in the formation of excessive amounts of ammonium ions, which in turn negatively affects reproduction.
Highly efficient dairy cows are fed a forage rich in protein, which is fully assimilable only in the presence of essential amino acids. When a deficiency of methionine, lysine, or tryptophan occurs in an animal, problems with malabsorption appear and excessive amounts of ammonia are produced. As a consequence, reproductive indicators deteriorate. In such cases, the best solution is to administer to the animal a concentrated and readily-absorbed dose of exogenous amino acids, vitamin E and beta carotene.
INTERMAG suggests the use of:
• INSEMIN
Benefits
enhanced complete signs of oestrous
improved efficiency of insemination
supplementation in cases of energy deficiency
limited incidence of ovarian cysts
supplementation of essential amino acids and amelioration of vitamin deficiencies
