VITAFORM

Supplement the ration well with the appropriate mineral

A balanced ration is subject to the nutritional characteristics of the fodder. Therefore, several VitaForm® formulations are available to correct deficiencies in minerals and vitamins needed for good feed efficiency.

VitaForm® mineral and vitamin range: Microgranule and pellet form,

0/30/5; 3/26/5; 4/25/5; 5/25/5 (microgranules); 5/25/5; 7/18/5 (pellets)

Turning the herd out to pasture, safeguard the feed transition

During spring, turning the herds out to pasture is an important step that requires a gradual transition. The VitaForm® Herbe formulation safely adds value to grass with the essential elements so that the feed transition goes smoothly.

VitaForm HP for high yielding dairy cows - HYDC 

VitaForm® HP mineral feed is recommended for the most efficient dairy farms with higher levels of vitamins A, D, and E and chelated trace minerals and magnesium. Its formulation has been studied to ensure a perfect assimilation of nutrients and to cover the optimum needs of high-producing dairy cows in terms of health, well-being and lactation performance.

Manage your cows serenely during the dry period!

VitaForm® HP Tarie is a mineral specific to feed management during the dry period for dairy and suckler cows. A “dry cow” ration must have a low or negative DCAB* (Dietary Cation-Antion Balance) to initiate the bone calcium release process and to limit the risks of milk fever (hypocalcaemia). VitaForm® HP Tarie reduces these risks with a highly negative DCAB* (-2000 mEq/kg). Its complete and appetizing formulation supports the functions of the rumen for a good body condition, favours easy calving, strengthens immunity for high-quality colostrum and a good start to lactation.

Be aware of deficiencies before calving in suckler cows

Suckler cows have little or no mineral intake during the pasture phase and are therefore inevitably susceptible to deficiencies. VitaForm® SpeVA is a specific mineral feed to correct deficiencies with a supply of rumen protected vitamins, macronutrients and trace minerals to safeguard calving, the health of grass calves and reproduction.

 ... and look after heifers, growth, lactation and fertility

During winter when the animals are kept in the stable, the stored fodder is poor in vitamins and trace minerals. The specificities of the VitaForm® SpeVA mineral formulation are perfectly suited for the good growth of heifers, to meet their needs at the start of lactation as well as to ensure good immunity for reproduction.

Precision at any age for good finishing of cattle during fattening 

VitaForm® Engrais is a ration mineral for managing animal feed during the fattening period (bull calves or young finished heifers, cull cows, 3-year-old steers). VitaForm® Engrais is formulated with precise dosages, required for good immunity and to support important growth needs. In addition, rations for fattening cattle contain high proportions of cereals; these cereals are rich in starch but may cause an increased risk of necrosis of the cerebral cortex. The formulation is enriched in vitamin B1 in order to prevent this disease. This is why VitaForm® Engrais is the ideal ration supplement all throughout the workshop for fat-cover results (ADG, BMI, etc.) leading to a good finish and better economic profitability for the feed system.

Analyse the fodder

and adjust the required needs

A perfectly balanced ration requires a fodder analysis and a suitable vitamin mineral supplement as per the physical-chemical and nutritional results (dry matter, crude proteins, FU, bypass proteins, minerals). The fodder analysis and ration calculation carried out by a Vitalac technician makes it possible to choose the most suitable formula with regards to macronutrients (Phosphorus, Calcium, Magnesium and Sodium), trace minerals (Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, Cobalt and Selenium) and vitamins (A, D3, E), based on, in particular, the profile of the fodder and correctors and the farm's production goals.
