Diamond V launches selenium for cows

27-07-2007 | |

Diamond V has launched an organic selenium product support dairy cattle performance.

The combination of nutritional metabolites and
bioavailable selenium makes new DiaMune Se truly a unique product, says Bruce
Hageman, Diamond V Director of Marketing and Sales Services.

In
research, DiaMune Se enhanced volatile fatty acid (VFA) levels inside the rumen
environment. VFAs are manufactured by rumen microbes and are the primary drivers
of milk and milk component production. Along with improving productivity, higher
VFA levels also enhance rumen performance, leading to improved dry matter intake
and feed efficiency.

Selenium deficiency 
Animals
deficient in selenium can exhibit symptoms (or problems) such as white
muscle disease, mastitis, metritis, retained fetal membranes and cystic ovaries.
Adding Selenium to the animal diet can help overcome these obstacles.
