 The
methods by which feeds are being produced, stored
and fed lead to a new set of challenges for
the dairy producer of today. Feedstuffs are
commonly high in moisture, are often the product
of no till or low till agronomy and there is
less and less emphasis on proper crop rotation.
High production and confined environments place
cattle under more and more stress. Combined,
these changes create an optimum opportunity
for debilitation from molds and their harmful
secondary metabolites. Improperly prepared or
maintained silage pits, silage bags, commodity
storage bins, feeding equipment and feed bunks
add to the problem.
Symptoms of molds
and their metabolites (mycotoxins) are: sporadic
diarrhea, erratic feed consumption, reduced
milk production, high somatic cell counts, weak
heats, subnormal conception rates, morbidity
and even mortality.
In addition to
managing for the reduction of mold growth, dairymen
should incorporate Select Bio Cycle, Select
DTX or Select Bio Cycle Plus into their feeding
programs. SelectÕs Bio Cycle Program Used properly,
Select Bio Cycle, Select DTX or Select Bio Cycle
Plus improve every feeding program. Choose the
appropriate product to ensure maximum benefit
and profitability.
 Select
Bio Cycle is a unique probiotic feed ingredient.
It incorporates bovine live-cell yeast, digestive
enzymes, lactic acid bacteria, specialized proteins,
concentrated sugars and other ingredients to
support every cow, every day. Choose Select
Bio Cycle when heats are weak, breeding performance
is off, somatic cell counts are high and milk
production is below expectations.
 Switch
from Select Bio Cycle to Select DTX when feed
products have high levels of molds, when tests
show significant levels of mycotoxins and when
cows seem to be debilitated by molds and their
harmful metabolites. When moldy feed products
are gone and/or when problems disappear, switch
back to Select Bio Cycle.
 Bio
Cycle Plus is a combination of Select Bio Cycle
and Select DTX. Use it when a combination of
production and mold-driven problems plague the
herd. Bio Cycle Plus is the product of choice
when dairymen are feeding poor quality forages
and are experiencing high somatic cell counts
and problems with heat detection and breeding.
Once again as symptoms disappear, dairymen may
switch back to the more economical Select Bio
Cycle.
