Is it the same as DCAD?

No, DCAD works by balancing anions and can be affected by the diet. X-¬Zelit actually binds the calcium, causing a low calcium effect and is therefore not affected by the diets fed.

Previous to feeding X-Zelit we ended up treating the majority of the cows with calcium before, during and after calving. When they calved the cows were slow to get going and would spend up to a week post calving, in the straw pen before being ready to join the main herd. X-Zelit has definitely reduced the worry that surrounded calving with only a handful of milk fever cases since we started using it. The cows recover much quicker and are able to return to the fresh milking group within a short time of calving.
