How we work
Each programme within AHV Cows & Calves is based on a predetermined approach. The Energy & Metabolism Programme consists of two levels of support based on acute energy support. The AHV Specialist assesses the health of the herd based on modelled output or anticipation of production cycle expectations.
Benefits
Technology
AHV offers an Energy & Metabolism Programme with products and solutions in a broad variety of applications. We offer multiple options, ranging from providing fast absorbable or slow-release energy to applications that benefit rumen pH and liver support. Products and solutions in all AHV programmes are animal friendly and easy to administer or apply.
Animal health
The liver and rumen are of vital importance to have a healthy producing animal and as such, place a strong demand on available energy. Energy utilisation is strongly subject to availability and allocation and the latter is dependent on the health status of the animal. To maintain the functionality of its ‘engines’ – the liver and the rumen – cows benefit from a well-managed energy balance.
Financial
Healthy animals produce more optimally and require less intervention. Every biological reaction in the body requires energy, and specific organs and systems use a large proportion of available energy for maintenance; the process of being able to function on a base level (i.e., a healthy, normal state). Energy is the cow’s ‘engine’ and all the energy the cow spends on other things comes at the expense of milk production. The more milk the cow produces, the more it benefits the farmer.
What farmers say
AHV Products for Energy & Metabolism
The AHV Protocol poster for energy & metabolism
The above products are used based on the health values of your cow, looking at the present and the past. Two categories can be distinguished. To make these categories easily visible for you as a dairy farmer, we have developed a protocol poster.
Do you want to know which category and health approach fit the challenges your herd faces? Leave your details to have a printed version delivered to your farm by one of our advisors.
