Metabolic Solutions Critical For Herd Health 

A common problem with cows following calving is a degree of metabolic disruption.  Demands for minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium are increased dramatically along with her demand for higher energy levels as the cow’s udder is transformed into full milk production.  Leading up to calving cows are more than often under stress from limited feed intake due to break feeding practices, slow grass growth and lush grass growth with no goodness in it, reliance on supplementary feed and cold winter conditions.
 
These conditions or a combination of them along with the sudden metabolic demands from calving often lead to milk fever (hypocalcaemia) and or ketosis (acetonaemia).  Cows in the higher risk bracket are often; lighter cows, older cows, cows carrying twins, large overweight cows or Jersey cows.
 
The AHD metabolic range consists of four metabolic products to cover the associated metabolic diseases which occur over the calving period. Minject is the 4 in 1 to treat milk fever levels of phosphorus and magnesium, Calject to cover calcium deficiency. Meg Sulph to raise depleted magnesium levels and Dextron to boost low glucose levels.  All four metabolic are presented in a 500 ml pillow with a draw off tube and a 14g needle.  The AHD metabolic range is manufactured under strict guidelines and are of high quality and low endotoxin levels.
 
Endotoxin are a group of chemicals collectively known as lipo polysaccharides (lps) when injected into livestock, can cause a pyrogenic effect (an increase in body temperature) as well as other severe pathogenic responses. The endotoxin screening process that the AHD metabolic range undergoes is a unique quality to the range. 
 
Liquid metabolic products boost the range, Caljet Oral is a calcium and magnesium gel that should be given to the cow after injecting Minject or Calject to give another 24 hours of calcium which helps prevent relapses. Acedex is an energy supplement that can be used in conjunction with Dextron or on its own to provide increased energy levels. AHD energy drenches Over The Moon, Cow Boost, Rite Start and Resolute are proven formulas that offer many benefits when used as a preventative approach. 4 Mag, a 25% magnesium pidolote formulation has been added to the range in 2011.
