Product Information
Animate® Anionic Mineral
Animate nutritional specialty product is fed prepartum to support the health and performance of transition cows and may help reduce the incidence of hypocalcemia.
Palatable
Readily consumed without significantly depressing prepartum dry matter intake, leading to higher postpartum dry matter intake and, ultimately, increased milk yield.
Concentrated
One of the most concentrated commercially manufactured anionic products on the market. When fed in a fully acidogenic prepartum diet (urine pH from 5.5 to 6.0), Animate feeding rates are typically half the rate of other anionic products. This allows for more ration space and easier diet formulation.
Complete
Uniquely formulated to provide effective levels of chloride and sulfur, plus other key nutrients such as magnesium and phosphorus, which are necessary for a proper negative DCAD diet formulation.
