The increased levels of magnesium contained in Crystalyx Pre-Calver helps improve muscle tone. Inadequate levels can lead to slow calving syndrome where calving can be difficult and prolonged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry Cow Feeding: Many dry cows receive no special attention during this most important period and are often expected to graze pasture in a cleaning up role. For a very small investment in Pre-Calver (14p-20p per cow per day) the forage diet can be supplemented to ensure there are no nutritional deficiencies and help the dry cow to recover to optimum condition prior to calving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResearch carried out in New Zealand showed that giving access of Crystalyx Pre-Calver to dairy cows significantly reduced the incidences of milk fever, mastits and the need for assisted calving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResearch undertaken at the University or Parma has shown that Pre-Calver substantially increases colostrum quality, with a 14% increase in milk yield being recorded over the first 100 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimises performance by stimulating forage intakes and digestibility while providing all essential mineral, trace elements and vitamins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaintains optimum blood magnesium levels to reduce the risk of milk fever and ‘slow calving’s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupports and maintains a strong, healthy immune system\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimises calf health and vigour (more ‘get up and go’)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReduces the risk of difficult calving’s and retained placenta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConditions cows during the dry period to maintain optimum health so they transition more easily into lactation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeeding Guidelines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRates:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2x 80kg tubs\/50 cattle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2x 22.5kg tubs\/20 cattle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlways place a minimum of 2 tubs per group to avoid bullying\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical intakes: 200g\/cow\/day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in 22.5kg tubs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cattle Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53600158155089,"sku":"CRYSTALYX 9502707","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/8229\/1793\/files\/download-2026-04-22T141335.222.jpg?v=1776863657","url":"https:\/\/www.deesidecountrystore.ie\/products\/crystalyx-pre-calver-22-5kg-1","provider":"Deeside Country Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
