Dairy Cows & Calves
The Rebalance Line of solutions for Dairy Cows and Calves provide farmers with numerous benefits.
Benefits with the Rebalance Line
- 1. Biovalorization and Fluidification of Liquid Manure
- 2. Biohygienization of the Environment
- 3. Animal Bioresilience and Improved Welfare
- 4. Reduction of Emissions and Odors
1. Biovalorization and Fluidification of Manure
Thanks to the Biovalorization of manure achieved with SOP Lagoon, it is possible to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use by 10%.
Biovalorization helps to fluidify manure in under-barn pits, reception tanks, and manure storage tanks, while at the same time enhancing its fertilizing potential.
2. Biohygienization of the Environment
Biohygienization is the ability to condition the environment without adding external microorganisms or indiscriminately eliminating beneficial microbial populations.
It makes it possible to create a balance that promotes humification and composting processes instead of putrefactive ones.
Biohygienization consists of:
3. Animal Bioresilience & Welfare
Bioresilience is the ability of a system to withstand stressful events or its tendency to re-establish balance.
It can be achieved in dairy cows through the stimulation of the microbiome, the digestive system, the neuroendocrine system, and the immune system.
The Star products combine Biohygienization and Bioresilience, with the aim of reducing environmental impact, improving herd welfare, increasing farm profitability, and consequently achieving:
For Dairy Cows:
- A more stable and balanced ruminal and intestinal microbiome to support normal metabolic functions;
- Better digestion and nutrient utilization;
- Improved feed assimilation;
- Improved fertility rate;
- Reduced risk of new udder and placental disorders;
- Reduction of somatic cell count (SCC);
- Greater healing and recovery capacity.
For Calves:
- Rumen development support;
- Increased resilience and strength under stress;
- Enhanced growth;
- Greater healing and recovery capacity;
- Reduced risk of new pulmonary and intestinal disorders.
4. Reduction of Emissions & Odors
The Rebalance Dairy products reduce odor and ammonia emissions right in the barn.
They also provide valuable support in reducing the environmental impact of farming by counteracting greenhouse gas emissions: in the barn, with SOP Star Cow to reduce enteric emissions, and in manure, with the SOP Lagoon additive. This can lead to:
Ammonia (NH₃) and Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) emissions
Enteric Methane (CH₄) emissions
Methane (CH₄) emissions from manure
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) emissions
