Description
Pre Calver Seatech
Pre-Calver Seatech is specially formulated to provide dry, in-calf cows with the essential minerals and vitamins they need for optimal health and strong calf development. It helps prepare cows for calving by supporting metabolism, immunity, and muscle function — reducing the risk of difficult calvings, metabolic disorders, weak calves, and retained placentas.
Mineral & Vitamin Composition
Macro Minerals
| Mineral | % | Function | Disease / Problems |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | 20 | Bone and muscle formation and maintenance, calcium absorption and enzyme activation | Grass Tetany, poor calcium absorption |
| Phosphorus | 3 | Calf structural development, energy metabolism, milk production, fertility and appetite control | Poor growth, silent heats, late conception, poor appetite, bone and teeth irregularities, poor milk yields |
| Calcium | 1.7 | Smooth muscle contraction, bone development, milk production | Milk fever, retained afterbirth, bone and joint issues, reduced milk yield |
| Sodium | 16 | Essential for proper water metabolism, nutrient intake, transmission of nerve impulses | Anxiety, weakness, licking walls, loss of appetite, decreased growth, weight loss |
| Seaweed Meal | 5 | Source of minerals and vitamins | — |

Usage Guidelines:
120grm per head per day for 8 weeks before calving. One 25kg bag will cover 208 cows per day.
