Vitamin/Mineral Supplement
Vigortone Dairy Heifer Minerals are complete vitamin-mineral mixes
specially formulated to aid in the prevention of nutritional deficiencies in
dairy heifers.
Vigortone Dairy Heifer Minerals contain highly available sources of calcium
and phosphorus which are important minerals needed for good bone development.
Phosphorus, magnesium and sulfur also are needed to optimize energy use, fiber
digestion and reproduction. Vigortone Dairy Heifer Minerals contain specially
formulated blends of trace minerals including cobalt, copper, iodine, iron,
manganese, zinc and selenium. These trace minerals play a variety of roles in
energy and protein metabolism, tissue and bone growth, immune system integrity,
and reproductive efficacy. Vitamins A, D, and E, which are vital to the
development of healthy, well-grown replacement heifers, are an important
component of Vigortone Dairy Heifer Minerals. Vigortone Dairy Heifer Minerals do
contain salt.
Vigortone Dairy Heifer Premixes
with Rumensin®
Rumensin alters the rumen microrganism population, favoring those bacteria
yielding propionic acid and reducing the bacteria that waste energy by producing
carbon dioxide and methane. Thus, more energy is available to the heifer from
each unit of intake. Rumensin can also be used for the prevention and control of
coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.
| DH6504R

|
Fits most forage programs and is the standard choice. |
| DH6514R

|
Same as DH6504R with the addition of Altosid®. Altosid
is an insect growth
regulator (IGR) fed to cattle during the fly season. Because Altosid
is a
synthetic hormone that prevents fly emergence, it stops horn fly development at
the pupal stage. When fed to cattle, Altosid passes through the digestive system
into the manure, where it breaks the life cycle of the horn fly. |
| DH6594R

|
Same as DH6504R with the addition of a Hoof Power Pack. Generally, dairy
heifers do not suffer from lameness. However, when problems are seen in the
milking herd, they may have originated while heifers were growing. The outer
hoof horn is built at the top of the hoof at the coronary band and can take 15
months to reach the bottom or surface contact. Growing strong, healthy hooves
requires sulfer containing amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. The Hoof Power
Pack adds sulfer, zinc proteinate, and biotin to promote better hoof health. |

|
