Availa® Dairy, from Zinpro Performance Minerals®, is a nutritional feed ingredient for dairy herds seeking additional performance.
It contains a specific combination of complexed zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. When fed as part of a well-balanced diet, these
trace minerals can help improve skin and hoof integrity, feed efficiency, fertility and reduce somatic cell count. The Availa®
Dairy product formulation features increased levels of zinc, manganese and cobalt, and a lower level of copper. Recent research has
shown that dairy cattle benefit from being supplemented with higher levels of a more available form of zinc, from Zinpro
Performance Minerals sources, with benefits including decreased somatic cell count and increased feed efficiency. In addition,
increasing the level of manganese supplemented to dairy cows can help increase the percent of heifers pregnant, as manganese plays
an essential role in reproduction. Research has also shown that feeding dairy cattle higher levels of supplemental cobalt can
improve feed efficiency and increase overall milk production, as cobalt is an essential trace element that is required for vitamin
B12 synthesis and fiber digestion in ruminants. For reproduction.
