This circle can continue until we have cows that are completely off feed. At less severe levels, we see cows that are not eating or producing nearly as much as they could. Accelerated Genetics has worked to develop a product for fresh cows that addresses many of these problems. Freshen Up is a simple, easy to use drench for fresh cows. By examining the ingredients in Freshen Up you will see how it combats many of the clinical and subclinical problems in fresh cows.
Calcium has to be a major component of any fresh cow product.
Freshen Up contains approximately 50 grams of calcium in the lactate and propionate forms. These forms of calcium are readily available to the cow. Additionally, the lactate and propionate are sources of energy to the cow. These calcium sources are also nonirritating, so the cows do not object to administration of the product like they do with the calcium chloride tubes. Calcium at freshening time will treat the borderline low calcium cows to avoid clinical milk fevers as well as increase intakes by all fresh cows.
