𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐲-𝐨𝐟𝐟 The transition period — encompassing the last 3 weeks of gestation and the first 3 weeks of lactation — is a critical phase for dairy cows. During this time, cows undergo significant metabolic and physiological changes that can impact their health, reproduction, and milk production. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 of integrating StopLac with the Transition & Fertility Program: ✅𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞: Abrupt dry-off, facilitated by StopLac, minimizes stress associated with gradual drying off. This approach helps maintain dry matter intake, reducing the risk of negative energy balance and associated metabolic disorders. ✅ 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Proper management during the transition period, including uterine health support, has been linked to improved estrous expression and fertility outcomes. ✅ 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: By addressing inflammation and metabolic challenges during the transition, cows experience fewer health issues such as ketosis, metritis, and retained placenta, leading to better overall health and productivity. ✅ 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Cows that transition smoothly with proper support are more likely to achieve higher peak milk yields and maintain production throughout the lactation period.

𝐀 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. The dry period isn’t just a break — it’s a chance to rebuild. By preparing with Extra + Aspi and protecting with StopLac, you give your cows a healthier fresh start. The 4–8 weeks before dry-off are an opportunity for udder health. Administering AHV 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 during this period helps break down biofilm in the udder, reducing bacterial risks and setting the stage for a healthier, more productive next lactation. When biofilm is broken down and bacteria are released for clearance, the immune system must respond. AHV 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐢 helps modulate this response, preventing the immune system from overreacting. Administer 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐋𝐚𝐜 within two hours after the final milking to ensure the udder is empty and to maximize product efficacy. It’s not just about drying off — it’s about preparing for the next lactation: https://lnkd.in/e4TTiy_M #AHV // #PowerToTheFarmer // #DryBetter
