Dairy Cows Experience major metabolic changes as they make the transition from their dry period to calving and then lactation. Vigortone Prime'er is designed to support the cow's additional nutrient needs during this transition period in order to reduce metabolic disorders and ensure maximum milk production.

Vigortone Prime'er provides four antioxidants - vitamin E, vitamin C, organic zinc, and organic copper. These antioxidants promote a strong immune system, high quality colostrum production, and protection from intracellular and extracellular oxidative stressors.

Vigortone Prime'er provides vitamins and vitamin precursors needed by the liver to metabolize fatty acids and minimize ketosis problems. Vigortone Prime'er also provides yucca schidigera extract to reduce ammonia and increase nutrient digestibility.

A unique dried molasses product is included in Vigortone Prime'er to stimulate feed consumption and increase energy intake by cows during the late lactation and early lactation periods.

Vigortone Lacto Edge is an innovative direct-fed microbial (DFM) ideal for dairy cattle, beef cattle, and swine.

Lacto Edge contains two strains of bacteria specifically selected to help maintain a stable and productive micrflora. These bacteria are microencapsulated to improve shelf life and they are bile and acid resistant to ensure viability in the lower gut. This unique formula aids in maintaining a healthy lower gut environment, preventing lactic acidosis, and maintaining a stable rumen when factors contributing to digestive upsets are highly prevalent. In cows, stabilized rumen pH promotes faster fiber digestion and increased microbial protein production.

Lacto Edge contains two specific strains of live yeast that act as natural rumen fermentation modifiers. These two specific yeast strains work by stimulating fiber-digesting bacteria and helping to stabilize rumen pH.

Lacto Edge contains mannan oligosaccharides that have demonstrated the ability to bind pathogens, prohibiting them from attaching to the gut wall, reducing disease challenges. Lacto Edge alters the composition of the intestinal microflora and reduces pathogen counts.

The goal of including a DFM in the diet is to increase intestinal microbial load, and by competitive exclusion, decrease pathogenic bacteria populations. Production responses include increased gain, higher milk yield, more milk protein, and more milk fat. Lacto Edge can improve intestinal health and productivity.
