Full growth and development of calves is possible only if all the needs of the growing body for nutrients, minerals and vitamins are satisfied. But it is not always possible to provide the necessary amounts of nutrients due to the usual diet. In this case, special additives are used, one of which is Felucen for calves.
Preparation Felucen
Structure of the preparation
Felucen is a vitamin-mineral-carbohydrate supplement, which is used as an addition to the basic diet of a calf. The elements included in the preparation significantly enhance the benefits of the base feed, cause positive changes in productivity and growth, and also contribute to the health of young animals.
The recipe for this complex is perfectly balanced based on numerous scientific studies. The main components of Felucen include:
- Easily digestible carbohydrates. They provide the body with energy for more intensive growth.
- Salt. Responsible for the normalization of water-salt balance in tissues and internal organs.
- Phosphorus and calcium. They help to strengthen the bones of the baby, and also play an important role in metabolism.
- Iodine. Normalizes the work of various glands (especially positive effect on the functioning of the thyroid gland).
- Magnesium. Beneficial effect on the nervous system of the calf.
- Sulfur. Maintains healthy skin and makes hooves stronger.
- Zinc. Participates in the metabolic processes of the body.
- Vitamins A and E. Directly affect the growth rate of the calf.
The exact composition and ratio of elements of a nutritional supplement may vary depending on its intended use and manufacturer. But, despite this, all components are completely natural and safe for the baby’s body. The drug does not contain hormonal components or antibiotics.
Reference. The complex is produced in the form of granules, which are packaged in polyethylene packages weighing from 3 to 25 kg. Such a composition can be stored for a year.
Indications for use
Instructions for the correct use of Felucen directly depends on the specific type of drug purchased. It is used in any backyard or large industrial farm to compensate for the imbalance of feed, which improves disease resistance and overall livestock productivity.
The drug helps to increase resistance to diseases
The drug is used for:
- protecting the body of the calf from adverse factors during the period of changing the diet;
- increasing the appetite of animals, due to which the daily growth of young animals also increases;
- strengthening immune processes in the body of babies and adult cattle;
- normalization of the digestive tract;
- providing the body with nutrients, minerals and vitamins necessary for normal development;
- improve the assimilation of the components of the main feed.
The feed additive is recommended to be used after a certain time after the birth of the calf. In the first 2-3 weeks of life, cow colostrum remains the basis of the diet and the main source of nutrients and vitamins for the baby.
In addition, when planning the use of Felucen, it is also important to take into account the fact that it affects highly productive pedigree cattle to a greater extent than outbred ones. Animals of the first type respond well to dietary improvements, which contributes to an increase in milk yield and growth rate. The second type is more resistant to low-quality nutrition, but reacts very little to improving the diet and the introduction of premixes.
The drug also does not have seasonal features of use. It is given to livestock both during summer grazing and winter stall keeping.
Introduction to Diet
Felucen is introduced into the diet gradually and in strictly observed dosages. You can start using it already from the 2-3rd week of the life of the young. Moreover, for each age category, its own supplement rate is provided:
- for calves aged 1-6 months, the dosage of the drug is on average 55-75 g;
- when feeding animals for a period from 6 to 12 months, the norm increases to 150 g;
- young animals under the age of 1,5 years, the volume of the drug is increased to 250-270 g per day.
Felucen is introduced into the diet gradually
It is worth noting that it is necessary to go to the indicated portion within 5-7 days so that the animal has time to get used to such feeding. In the future, the daily rate is divided into parts and fed to young animals for 2-3 (depending on age and frequency of feeding) meals.
The additive is introduced into the diet by mixing with normal cow feed. To do this, the granules are pre-crushed and added to grass, hay, concentrates and other foods.
Attention! When using specific types of Felucen (protein, energy, for other animal species), you must first familiarize yourself with the more accurate dosages indicated on the package.
Противопоказания
Such a remedy has no specific contraindications. The reason for this is the composition, which includes only natural ingredients that are completely harmless to cattle and other domestic animals. But still, using such a food additive on the farm, you should adhere to the following rules:
- Do not use expired or spoiled mixture. The recommended shelf life of Felucen is 1 year from the date of purchase. In addition, if traces of decay or mold were found during the inspection of the drug, it should also not be used.
- Strictly adhere to the dosage of the drug. These norms were calculated by experts and have the most beneficial effect on the calf’s body. If they are exceeded, it can negatively affect the development of young animals.
- Exclude all other additives from the diet of young animals while taking Felucen. The components of different drugs may cause different effects on contact. Accordingly, they are best avoided.
Felucen is an extremely useful dietary supplement for calves. It increases the intensity of animal growth, helps to strengthen immunity, increase milk yield from young representatives of the herd. Of course, the regular use of such an additive involves certain financial costs. But the result of using the tool is quite justified.
