where did you get this info and wonder how far back this covers. I just bought a few bottles to work some calves haven't used it yet, trying to figure if its in this recall.
Vita-Firm 5S is what you need for higher conception, they have several different kinds, Heat
Heat/IGR, 5S with IGR, Plain vita-firm, They also have 5S with IGR.
I have used VitaFerm for several years. What is more important than mineral content is BIOAVAILABILITY. Analysis is very important but if the chemical compound the mineral comes in is not BIOAVAILABILE, the mineral will be excreted from the cow.
This is the way I understand it and agree 100%
My cattle don't seem to use HI-Mag well I've been told it's bitter, I feel it's better for them to have a good mineral they will eat keep in to them all the time and you have no worries. The Vita-Firm is good stuff, I believe if you use it you won't be sorry.
That’s what it is, vet wrote me a VFD and I went to Burkmanns and picked it up, and yes I put it on the feed, I feed 30 head 5# 2 times a day for 5 days.
I use vitaferm heat minerial with igr and had a walk through sprayer and still got it, couldn't seem the keep the dang flies off them. he told me to feed this top dressing stuff that has that Chlor what ever it is in it. He cut one of the dead cows down the side to look at the membrane and it...
Anaplasmosis is the verdict, going to start treating them in the morning. He said he's seen 4 other farms with it in the last ten days must be getting bad around here.
I talked to my vet this morning he suspects anaplasmosis, he’s coming to check things out. He told me he diagnosed a herd the other day with it, guess we will see after while. I just hope I can get it stopped.
yes I have vitaferm mineral out, didn't notice them being slugish or anything, seemed fine monday couldn't get there to check them last night, they had their shots, but due the fall work up.
We have lose two very healthy looking cows in the last 3 days, they both had 550# calves on them, no signs of anything just up and died. I'm wondering if it is anaplaz. called the vet haven't heard back from him yet.
Here in ky most of my pasture is fescue and you know we have trouble with toxins. The heat mineral helps with that plus it has AMA-ferm in it which is a probiotic plus garlic and cinnamon to help with the flies, during breeding we use the concept-aid 5s which helps with breed back.
We feed distillers slop all the time, sometimes when we get it it still fermenting a little bit, hasn't hurt a thing. I'm sure you probably know but be sure and give them sodium bicarbonate and some sort of mineral with high calcium free choice. I've benn finishing some freezer calves on it they...
