CALCAPS DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD DIRECTIONS

Many metabolic changes occur as the dairy cow approaches parturition. Dairy cattle experience a negative energy balance because of a reduction in dry matter intake (DMI) and the increasing nutrient demand by the growing fetus.1

Regular Nutrition Need: Feed 4 to 5 capsules pre or post calving.

Severe Nutritional Need: Repeat if necessary.

For Best Results: Use complete Fresh Cow Program.
