China Glycopowder65 Propylene Glycol Feed Supplement for Ruminate

general agent for China and southeast Asia.

One of the biggest challenges in feeding the modern high productive dairy cow is the energy shortage (NEB = Negative Energy Balance) in the first 100 days of lactation. only after 10-12 weeks post partum the cow will reach her maximum feed intake, while after 6 weeks already she will reach her top in milk production. Therefore the NEB (see graph 1, Source: Tamminga, 1994), and mobilisation of body fat is something all high productive dairy cows have to deal with. It's up to you to make sure things won't get out of hand...

Glycopowder brings production of propionic acid in the rumen to a higher level. A disordered carbohydrate metabolism will be brought back in to balance. The rumen will resorb both propylene glycol and propionic acid, whom together are responsible for the production of liver glycogen.(liver sugar)
Glycopowder helps in two phases

Before calvingPropyleenglycol brings sugars directly into the blood which support the development of the unborn calf.A week before calving the dry-matter intake of a cow decreases with 25% while the demand for energy is increasing. Glycopowder helps to prevent this lack of energy.After calvingGlycopowder helps to prevent ketosis by keeping the energy balance on level.Glycopowder has a positive effect on vitality, fertility and feed intake.
During a period of NEB Glycopowder 65 supports the cow's peak milk production and helps to prevent (sub-clinical) ketosis. Most studies show an increase in blood glucose levels, an increase in milk yield and a reduction in beta-hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA), one of the 3 ketone-bodies produced by cows suffering from ketosis.

In practice we see less lethargic cows and better feed intake around calving, which is crucial in preventing metabolic disorders. (see diagram…).
Higher blood glucose levels support higher blood insulin levels which in its turn means development of healthier follicles and improved fertility.
How to use
Feed 300 g per cow per day in the close up and fresh cow groups.
Glycopower can be used in a TMR diet, as top dressing or included in concentrates.
It is really important to start pre-calving to break the downward ketosis spiral. In high performance herds or for at risk cows you can choose to extend this period up to 12 weeks in lactation.
