Heifer Program and
Products
Managing Your Investment
With replacement heifer costs
ranking as the second largest expenditure for dairy producers today, achieving
maximum gains on heifers is important to ensure freshening at 24 months of
age. Every heifer freshening over 24 months of age costs you a minimum
of $2.00/head/day.
Doboy®
heifer concentrates and minerals are formulated to meet the heifer's
nutritional needs plus accelerate her growth. They contain quality
ingredients and cost effective feed additives to provide maximum gains for
dairy heifers, allowing for earlier breeding and greater returns on your
investment.
Paying closer attention to
your heifer management today can ensure a larger payback tomorrow!
Accelerate
Heifer Gains By Using a Specialized Growth Promotant and Dewormer
Rumensin®
(Monensin)
Rumensin®
is and ionophore that increases rate of gain in replacement heifers. It
works in the rumen to increase propionic acid production while reducing
methane production. Rumensin® is also used for the
prevention and control of coccidiosis.
-
Hef-R
Concentrate w/Rumensin®,
Code 415 A
36% protein supplement
used to provide protein, minerals and Rumensin® for heifers
weighing over 400 pounds. This is an ideal feed for heifers on a
high forage ration that require additional protein. This product is
an economical source of crude protein to support growth and the addition
of Rumensin increases rate of gain.
-
Hef-R
Mineral w/Rumensin®,
Code 781 A complete mineral and
vitamin supplement designed to meet the nutritional needs of heifers on
pasture or dry lots. Contains the essential minerals, salt, trace
minerals, selenium, and Vitamins A, D, & E. Recommended for
heifers from 3 months of age to one month prior to freshening.
Safe-Guard®
(Fenbendazole)
A
strategic deworming program using Safe-Guard® eliminates the
parasite burden to ensure maximum gains and improved performance in heifers.
Parasites, common to heifers exposed to pasture, rob cattle of available
nutrients, stress their immune system, and depress appetites. Safe-Guard®
effectively kills all nine of the internal cattle parasites. Research
shows Safe-Guard® treated heifers have increased weight gains and
fewer days to breeding size.
