I) Cattle Dry Cow - Mineral supplement for incalf cows and specially formulated mineral supplement for pregnant dry dairy cows.
A dry cow is a mature cow that has been “dried off” meaning she is no longer being milked or nursed by calves and has stopped producing milk.
A cow is typically dry for the last 60 days of her pregnancy.
Dry periods typically involve both a far-off and a close-up period. The close-up period begins three weeks before expected calving. Research has found that if no dry period is provided for a cow, she will produce 25 to 30% less milk the next lactation.
