Description

Pre-Calver Quadforce

Target: In-calf cows

Purpose:
Pre-Calver Quadforce is designed to ensure dry in-calf cows receive the essential minerals and vitamins needed to maintain health and support optimal calf development. It helps prevent issues such as difficult calvings, metabolic disorders, weak calves, and retained placentas.

Key Benefits of Pre-Calver Quadforce

  • High Magnesium (28%)
    • Reduces risk of milk fever and related metabolic disorders.
    • Improves calcium mobilisation around calving.
    • Supports muscle tone for easier calving and faster recovery.
  • Zinc (6,000 mg/kg)
    • Promotes healthy skin, hooves, and udder integrity.
    • Supports teat condition and healing after calving.
    • Strengthens immunity to reduce mastitis and infections.
  • 5% Seaweed – Natural Iodine Source
    • Provides highly bioavailable iodine for thyroid health.
    • Improves calf vitality and colostrum quality.
  • Three Forms of Copper
    • Ensures absorption even with antagonists like molybdenum.
    • Supports fertility, immunity, and coat condition.
  • Three Forms of Zinc
    • Enhances absorption and utilisation.
    • Supports enzyme activity and reproductive efficiency.
  • Biotin
    • Promotes hoof strength and growth.
    • Improves skin and udder health.
  • Balanced Trace Mineral & Vitamin Profile
    • Delivers complete nutrients for energy metabolism.
    • Reduces transition stress and improves herd performance.

Vitamins

Vitamin IU/kg of Premix Function Deficiency / Problems
Vitamin A (from Retinyl Acetate) 500,000 Supports growth, immune health, reproduction and vision Infection risk, blindness, poor nutrient absorption
Vitamin D₃ (from Cholecalciferol) 175,000 Regulates calcium and phosphorus absorption, immune cell activity and bone calcification Rickets, bone deformities, muscle weakness, lameness
Vitamin B₁₂ (from Cyanocobalamin) 1,000 Produces ATP, DNA and RNA; aids energy production, red blood cell synthesis and fatty acid metabolism Poor condition, heart failure, mucosal inflammation, poor zinc/iron/calcium absorption
Vitamin E (from Alpha Tocopherol) 6,000 Antioxidant; supports immune system, fertility and healing Fertility issues, muscular dystrophy, retained placenta, reduced immunity
Vitamin H (Biotin) 100 Essential for keratin synthesis for hoof and coat health Dull coat, weak or brittle hooves

Usage Guidelines:

  • Feed 120g per head per day for the 8 weeks prior to calving.
  • One 25kg bag provides enough for 208 cow feeds (one day’s supply for 208 cows).
