Browns Lead Feed Pellets are a high protein, high energy ration designed to be fed to pregnant cows 2-3 weeks prior to calving to enable them to meet the demands placed on them post calving.
Lead feeding cows in the transition period can greatly improve animal health and productivity, helping to prepare the cow and the rumen for the change from a dry state to a lactating one. This will effectively increase feed intake, which will increase milk production and reduce weight loss.
Our Lead Feed pellets contain Anionic Salts to assist in balancing the dietary cation/anion balance or the DCAD of the diet. Anionic Salts assist in the prevention of most post calving metabolic disorders such as milk fever and retained placentas by increasing blood calcium levels at the point of calving.
Feed at 3 kg (-2166 Meq) or 4kg (-2888 Meq) depending on cow size and balance of diet.
Aim to get cows between 0 – +100 DCAD in overall diet.
