Michael Scott, Dalton Hook Farm

Over the last year we have been taking a good look at our dry cow processes to improve health and fertility. As part of this we spoke to a number of farmers with herd sizes ranging from 90 through to 2000 cows and they all recommended using X-Zelit pre-calving. So, we tried X-Zelit in a dry cow nut and we were really impressed with it. Since using it, we’ve had very few issues with our calving cows, they are calving really easily and cleanly.I’m not too sure why it works but it just does, it’s a great product!

I was initially reluctant to use X-Zelit because of the cost. However, this has been far outweighed by the health benefits, increased production and a reduction in treatment and labour costs. It has significantly reduced milk fevers and metabolic issues, negating the need to manage cows with calcium. It’s central to our herd management system and it’s simple to implement.
