SOP Star Cow

SOP Star Cow is a mineral feed for dairy cows and heifers to promote improvement in animal wellbeing. Thanks to the simultaneous actions of Bio-hygienization of the environment and Bio-resilience within the animals, benefits have been recorded regarding hygiene, barn management and animal productivity and wellbeing.

In addition to the benefits that can be obtained with SOP Gold Pro Cow, opposing the presence of pathogenic bacteria and consequently reducing the incidence of problems of an environmental origin (e.g. with the udder) and a lower SCC, SOP Star Cow also helps the digestive system, improving the assimilation and conversion of nutrients without having to modify the ration, the neuroendocrine system, aiding the regulation of the estrous cycle, and the immune system, for a better response and resistance to possible issues.

In the absence of farm mismanagement, the improvement in dairy cow wellbeing is an aspect that is universally recognised as being responsible for the improvement in the quantity and quality of production.

For organic farming, use SOP Star Cow Compact.

 

The use of SOP STAR COW has recorded:

  • More stable and balanced ruminal and intestinal microbiome to support the physiological metabolic functions
  • Improved digestion and use of nutrients
  • Improved assimilation of the feed ration
  • Better milk quality (% fat, protein, casein)
  • Better post calving recovery
  • More evident manifestation of estrus
  • Improvement in pregnancy rate (PR)
  • Lower risk of new cases of infection
  • Greater healing capacity
  • Greater recovery capacity, even in "tired" or elderly animals
  • Reduction of enteric methane and CO₂ by up to -50%*

SOP STAR COW - instructions for use

Instructions for use: cows 8 g/head, a day; heifers and young heifers 4 g/head, a day.

Add to the feed in the feed mixer or mix well with the feed ration, once a day.  

It is strongly recommended to use SOP STAR COW for dry cows, close-up dry and fresh cows, as these animals are more subject to problems due to their physiological state.  

Contents of the box: The box contains one 10 kg bag.
