Kactus Progress is a mineral solution that reduces the effects of heat stress in dairy cows, fattening cattle and small ruminants by compensating for electrolyte loss.
It contributes to:
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Increase the dietary cation anion balance (BACA) of the supplement due to the additional supply of sodium (Na) and potassium (K).
- Maintaining ingestion
- Maintaining milk production and fat content (TB)
- Maintenance of ADG
The detrimental effects of heat stress are numerous and the consequences can be catastrophic to the condition. In the case of severe heat, among other things, potassium (K) and sodium (Na) losses increase due to excessive sweating, greater elimination in urine, hypersalivation, and hyperventilation.Consequence: rumination drops simultaneously with blood pH.
Kactus Progress has enhanced the buffering capacity of animals (blood buffer and ruminal pH buffer).
Kactus Progress compensates for the loss of electrolyte by an additional supply of Na and K. These substances increase the buffering capacity of cows with respect to blood and ruminal pH, they also help to prevent the occurrence of ruminal and metabolic acidosis.
During hot periods, Kactus Progress avoids a drop in feed intake which can lead to a reduction in milk production in dairy ruminants and disturb the growth curve of fattening ruminants. Thanks to its plant active ingredients, Vitalac’s product also helps to reduce oxidative stress.
It reduces the risk of milk fat depression syndrome by inhibiting the formation of trans-fatty acids in the rumen. Return on investment 5/1
Kactus Progress is rich in sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium oxide and artichoke.
Artichoke extracts help fight oxidative stress by stimulating liver function, increasing bile secretions and regulating digestion.
Developed by our teams of veterinarians and nutritionists, Kactus Progress meets safety standards and regulatory requirements.
