During the transition period, feeding and management are critical factors for cows, and can affect milk production throughout lactation. Early in lactation, metabolic disorders such as ketosis and milk fever can develop. Supplying extra energy during this crucial transition period will benefit the energy balance of dairy cows, helping to prevent some of these metabolic stressors. Propylene Advantage provides that extra energy needed and has comparative benefits to propylene glycol.
“We have a very low DA rate and we have less than 4% metritis rate, we are very happy with how Propylene Advantage has helped reduce our fresh cow diseases during the difficult calving time.”
-Patty Dolph, Dolph Dairy
