Victus® Transition helps deliver better transitions

During the transition from the dry period through calving and into lactation, dairy cows encounter unique challenges to their antioxidant status:

• Ration ingredients are often balanced for energy and protein, yet lack beta-carotene content² — a critical antioxidant for a healthy immune system.
• Biological demands to support colostrum production, calf health, ovulation and immunity can draw down critical antioxidants at a time when they are most needed.

Roughage alone lacks necessary beta-carotene content. Victus® Transition helps fill the beta-carotene gap in rations.

Profitability of the farm is heavily affected by herd reproductive performance and efficiency, overall lifetime production, number of calves born and milk yield per lactation. Serum beta-carotene levels that are above 3.0 μg/ml are considered nutritionally adequate to support colostrum synthesis, reproduction and lactation³, yet most herds fall below these levels.

Backed by decades of university and commercial dairy research, Victus® Transition is proven to improve the health and production of herds. Supplementing your feed with the recommended levels of beta-carotene delivers the Vitamin A and antioxidants that lead to:

• Increased conception rates and 21-day pregnancy rates⁴
• Fewer days open
• May support cow and calf immune health
• Stronger heat signs¹

A cow needs to give birth to a calf to give milk. A ruminant diet created with special attention on beta-carotene reduces the chances of fertility problems and increases overall yield.
