Increasing cow lifespan makes dairy farming more sustainable

Selko IntelliBond’s increased bioavailability and the positive impact on fibre digestion and gut barrier function support well-being and optimizes lactational performance of dairy cows.A recent trial by Professor Santos at the University of Florida showed improved colostrum production, an increase of ECM production of 1.5 kg per day, an improvement of health and fertility and a reduction of the culling rate in animals fed Selko IntelliBond trace minerals for dairy cows.

Selko IntelliOpt Cr is a conveneient blend of Selko IntelliBond hydroxy trace minerals in and organic Selko Optimin trace minerals, combined with chromium propionate. Selko IntelliOpt Cr is the result of intensive research, resulting in a trace mineral blend that improves health and perfomance of cattle herds.

Adding Selko LactiBute to the ration increases milk production while increasing fat and protein levels at the same time. This results in an increase of Energy Corrected Milk of 0.85-1 kg per head per day.

Adding Selko Fytera Balance to the ration of dairy cows reduces systemic inflammation, resulting in an improvement of lactational performance

Selko TMR® is a blend of organic acids that reduces the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae like Salmonella. As a result of the reduction in growth of micro-organisms, increases in temperature of the TMR are delayed by at least 6 hours in silages treated with Selko-TMR, resulting in a higher dry matter intake.

Selko Renergy® is a blend of organic acids that modifies rumen fermentation by increasing propionate production. Propionate is a key source of energy for ruminants and is also the most efficient volatile fatty acid (VFA) produced in the rumen. More energy from propionate in the rumen increases production efficiency.

Even the best heat stress control programme cannot always fully prevent problems with heat stress in dairy cows. Supplementation with Selko NutriCool can help to avoid a drop in dry matter intake and loss of milk production as a result of heat stress.

Discover the power of Selko TOXO HP-R, a mycotoxin mitigation product. Packed with a potent blend of bentonite, β-glucans, and antioxidants, this solution strengthens gut barrier function, boosts immunity, and reduces the impact of immune activation. Our trials prove it: Selko TOXO HP-R not only increases milk production but also enhances fertility in dairy cows exposed to high Fusarium mycotoxin levels.

Selko TOXO-MX is part of our Selko Mycotoxin Risk Management Programme and consists of smectite clays, which have shown to have a high binding capacity for aflatoxin B1. With the bioavailability of aflatoxin B1 reduced, the production of aflatoxin M1 is diminished, meaning lower levels are excreted into the milk.

Addressing oxidative stress in cattle with balanced diets rich in antioxidants like Selko AOmix, ensuring improved growth, immune function, and reproduction by offering optimal digestibility and full cellular delivery.
