Making energy available in a targeted manner.
High-yielding cows face an energy deficit around calving. Early supplementation with rumen-stable energy protects performance, fertility, and animal health.
When energy requirements exceed intake
Immediately after calving, milk yield skyrockets – but feed intake lags behind. The cow enters a negative energy balance and mobilizes body fat, which promotes ketosis, fatty liver, and fertility disorders.
Negative energy balance
Milk yield increases faster than feed intake – the cow draws on her body reserves.
Metabolic risk
Excessive fat mobilization leads to increased ketone bodies and puts a strain on the liver.
Impaired fertility
In an energy deficit, the first heat is missed or not detected. The calving interval increases.
When energy requirements are not met
Three phases in which energy supply becomes particularly tight in practice.
1
Early lactation
During the first 6 to 8 weeks, the gap between energy requirements and intake is at its largest.
2
High daily yield
High milk yields require a rumen-stable and energy-dense supply.
3
Periods of heat or stress
During heat or relocation, feed intake decreases. The gap becomes even wider.
Rumen-stable energy keeps the cow in shape – without putting a strain on her.
What the cow needs now
Three levers to actively stabilize the energy balance.
Rumen-stable energy
Bypass fats provide energy without affecting the rumen pH.
Maintaining performance & body condition
High energy density supports milk yield and preserves body reserves.
Relieving the metabolism
Targeted energy supply supports metabolism and fertility.
