How can I check if my herd has milk fever or hypocalcaemia?

The farm level of hypocalcaemia is easily demonstrated by taking blood samples from 5-10 older cows at calving. We highly recommend farmers to access own farm specific level of SCH and explore how easily this problem can be solved using X-Zelit.

Before using X-Zelit we had tried everything from complex diets to analysing minerals to alleviate and minimise the risk of milk fever in our Jersey herd. We found them to be far too complex and not really effective. X-Zelit is the one thing that actually works and is simple to use, especially as our cows are at grass. We feed X-Zelit to 3rd calving cows and older as part of a 20% concentrate at 2kg/cow/day with add lib haylage 10 days before calving, its really easy. It has reduced our cases of milk fever and resultant metabolic issues such as retained cleansings.
