Transition Cow, DCAD & Metabolic Health
Manages the three weeks around calving that decide the whole lactation.
About Transition Cow, DCAD & Metabolic Health
The three weeks either side of calving determine the whole lactation. These products manage the dietary cation-anion difference, calcium status and metabolic stress that decide whether a cow starts her lactation strongly or spends six weeks recovering.

DCAD Iconic (Close-Up Cows)
A negative-DCAD anionic salt blend for the close-up dry cow. It primes the cow's calcium mobilisation before calving so she can meet the sudden calcium demand of colostrum, preventing milk fever and the sub-clinical hypocalcaemia that leads to retained placenta, displaced abomasum, ketosis and poor early-lactation intake.
View productD-CAD Iconic (Vanilla Flavour)
A complete transition premix combining encapsulated anionic salts with amino acid chelated trace elements and vitamin E, flavoured to protect intake. Prevents postpartum metabolic disease while simultaneously delivering the trace mineral and antioxidant status the cow needs at calving — so one product covers both jobs. Excellent palatability, because the coated anionic salts remove the intake depression associated with traditional anionic salts.
View productCalcium Bolus (Slow Release in Rumen)
Delivers calcium to the fresh cow over an extended period rather than in a single spike, supporting blood calcium through the first days of lactation. Given at calving and repeated as required, it is the practical on-farm tool for cows at risk of milk fever.
