Improve fertility, shorten the calving interval (CI).
If the energy balance after calving is negative, fertility suffers. Those who specifically relieve the metabolism will see it in heat, conception rate and the calving interval (CI).
How energy supply and fertility are connected
In the energy deficit after calving, the cow prioritises milk production over reproduction. Heat does not occur or is not detected – every additional week of CI costs real money.
Negative energy balance
Freshly calved cows mobilise body reserves. This can impair heat and fertility.
Silent heats
If energy intake is insufficient, heat may be less pronounced. The right time for insemination is harder to detect.
Longer calving interval
Every additional week of CI reduces lifetime performance and lowers profitability.
What slows fertility down
Three classic causes that most often come together in practice.
1
Excessive fat mobilisation
High NEFA and ketone levels disrupt ovarian activity and embryo development.
2
Heat stress
Hot days measurably worsen heat and conception rates.
3
Unbalanced ration
Energy-to-protein ratios that do not match performance reduce heat intensity.
Those who close the energy gap
also close the gap to the next pregnancy.
What the cow needs now
Three levers that can be used to specifically improve fertility in early lactation.
CLA for metabolism
Conjugated linoleic acids relieve the liver and demonstrably improve energy balance.
Protect the rumen
Rumen-protected ingredients only take effect in the small intestine, without disrupting fibre digestion.
Strengthen heat
Clearly detectable heat makes it easier to choose the right time for insemination.
