Coprice | Lead Feed

	Lead Feed Rich in digestible starch to reduce pre-lactation weight loss For strengthened immunity and aiding reproductive health Energy 12MJ/kg ME FOR GROWTH & BODY WEIGHT MAINTENANCE Protein 17% FOR BUILDING MUSCLE & WEIGHT GAIN DCAD -1,300mEq/ kg For reduced risk of milk fever Starch 45% FOR RUMEN DEVELOPMENT & ENERGY SUPPLY Flyer (3142KB) Dairy Booklet (3267KB)
Lead Feed

Specially formulated to be high in energy and protein, to reduce weight loss and improve the nutrition and health of cows in the transition period three weeks prior to calving.

Fortified with a unique blend of nutrients including organic minerals, for immunity, metabolism and reproduction efficiency.

Added anionic salts help lower the DCAD value of the feed ration, which has a significant impact on reducing the risk of milk fever and other metabolic disorders.

Available in 20kg Bags, 800kg Bulker Bags & Bulk.

Nutrition That Stacks Up

Protein

Nutritious soybean and canola meals, lupins and field peas are great sources of bypass protein, which is digested in the small intestine rather than the rumen giving superior nutrient availability. Proteins provide amino acids which contribute to a healthy immune system, and are the building blocks vital for muscle growth and development.

Starch

Wholegrain rice is gluten free and a great source of easily digestible starch. Starch is a source of fuel for rumen microbes. It is combined with selected quality wholegrains including wheat, barley and maize, to provide a feed rich in available starch to support calf rumen development and provide optimum energy for growth and weight gain.

Anionic Salts

In late pregnancy anionic salts help lower the DCAD value of rations. This helps reduce the risk of hypocalcaemia (milk fever), which can result in loss of muscle and nerve function, and predisposes the cow to disorders such as ketosis, retained placenta, displacement of the abomasum and mastitis.

Rice Bran

Rice bran is highly palatable, rich in digestible fibre, and is a source of nutritious oil which provides an additional energy source to support the growth of healthy calves and heifers. Improving energy availability in the diet can promote cow condition which may help improve herd fertility.

Rumen Buffer

An effective rumen buffer helps stabilise rumen pH, improving fibre digestion and reducing the risk of acidosis (grain poisoning). Acidosis can reduce feed intake leading to weight loss, it can also lower energy production and can cause lasting rumen damage.

Rice Bran Oil

Sourced exclusively from Australian bran, CopRice rice bran oil is rich in antioxidants including gamma oryzanol, and is a good source of the omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids. It also has a role in improving the absorption of fat soluble vitamins.

Macro-Minerals

Magnesium plays a role in calcium mobilisation and muscle function. Anionic salts containing sulphur and chlorine (anions) are vital in creating a negative DCAD (Dietary Cation-Anion Difference) value, drawing calcium from bone to improve calcium status at calving time.

Organic Micro-Minerals

Selenium is important for immunity and zinc for tissue repair. Copper helps strengthen bones, with manganese assisting cartilage development and reproductive function. Cobalt is required for energy production. Organic trace minerals are more easily absorbed, providing better nutrition over inorganic sources.

Vitamins

Vitamin A benefits eye health and can assist immune function and disease resistance. Vitamin D3 aids calcium and phosphorus absorption. Vitamin E supports, cardiovascular, circulatory and reproductive functions.

Organic Chromium

Chromium is required for normal glucose absorption by facilitating the effect of insulin on tissues. This has been shown to promote feed intake, cow energy status and improve immune response, particularly in physiological stressed cows.

Feeding Instructions

Ensure livestock always have access to clean, cool and fresh water.
During periods of poor pasture quality additional supplementary feeding will be necessary to achieve lightweight targets.
CopRice Dairy Lead Feed Pellets are not a complete feed, they are to be fed to cows in conjunction with free access to straw, hay and/or other dry forages.
