Luneo Precalver Mineral Block 15Kg9135320

Luneo Precalver mineral block is a high-performance mineral block with digestive aid. It is low in calcium to reduce the risk of milk fever and stress in cows. Contains copper and vitamins to maximise animal health and reduce incidences of retained cleanings at calving. The pre-calving period is a vital time to ensure your cow is performing its best. The cow is preparing for their next lactation so they must be balanced with sufficient minerals, vitamins and trace elements. If they have a mineral imbalance it can cause several problems; extended calving, retained placenta, metabolic disorders and a poor start to lactation.

During the dry cow period, minerals and trace element levels can become unbalanced so it helps to correct these. The mineral block contains zinc, iodine, selenium and vitamin E to support and strengthen the immune system around the vital pre-calving time. The formula is suitable for a pre-calving cow and should be introduced 8 weeks before calving. High in magnesium and low in calcium it prevents the onset of milk fever.

Milk fever is an acute illness in female cows close to calving. It is an expensive metabolic disease caused by a low blood calcium level. Symptoms to look out for include a dry muzzle, and staring eyes with cold legs and ears. The cow may collapse and suffer from constipation and drowsiness. The heartbeat becomes weaker and faster. During cold, wet and windy weather the body temperature falls below normal.
