The simple effectiveness of X-Zelit as a calcium binder has been proven through numerous trials, tests, and reports.
X-Zelit makes it simple to maintain an optimal calcium balance in dairy cows at calving.
X-Zelit simplifies the prevention of subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cows.
X-Zelit results in a quick and easy return to feed after calving
Research findings have shown that feed intake was nearly 1 kg (2.2 lbs) DM higher in the X-Zelit group during the first week after calving (vs a non–DCAD control). And, over the first 4 weeks, feed intake was .5 kg (1.1 lbs) DM higher for the X-Zelit group. This ensures a higher energy intake and produces positive effects on other production traits.
X-Zelit increases milk production in dairy cows, simply and easily
In another analysis, although milk production during the first week was slightly lower, dairy cows responded positively and yields quickly increased. By weeks 3 and 4, they were producing 0.68-0.91 kg (1.5 -2.0 lbs) extra, which was found to continue throughout the lactation.
X-Zelit improves colostrum quality in dairy cows
X-Zelit increases fertility in dairy cows
“I don’t think people understand how much it costs not to transition cows properly. This is a marathon and we need to keep them running the race. X-Zelit is a great tool to help get them going right, from pre-fresh to calving and beyond.”
“With X-Zelit, we’ve seen better peaks in production, a better start to lactations and less secondary ketosis. Fresh cows just keep eating! It’s really unbelievable the difference that X-Zelit has made.”
