You don't need to manage your anionic feeding programme and dry period mineral-vitamin supplementation separately. Bovimate Dry Anionic combines the proven anionic effect of Soymin with Vitamins A, D3, and E and organic minerals — supporting both needs of the dry cow throughout the entire dry period in a single daily dose.
Anionic Feeding + Mineral-Vitamin Support. Throughout the Entire Dry Period. From One Bag.
Two critical needs must be met simultaneously in dry period management: anionic feeding against pre-calving hypocalcaemia, and the mineral-vitamin support that determines the future of both the cow and the calf. Most operations use two separate products for these two needs. Bovimate Dry Anionic reduces this equation to a single variable.
The Foundation of Anionic Feeding — Soymin®
Soymin® is the most effective way to achieve a negative DCAD target in the ration, with a DCAD value of −2,758 mEq/kg. Negative DCAD induces compensated metabolic acidosis; this mildly acidotic environment increases PTH receptor sensitivity and accelerates active Vitamin D activation. The result: the cow arrives at calving fully prepared for calcium mobilisation, and the risk of hypocalcaemia is significantly reduced.
The Vitamin Trio — A, D3, E
Vitamin D3 plays a critical role in the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D required for active calcium absorption — directly supporting the hypocalcaemia prevention mechanism of anionic feeding. Vitamin A strengthens colostrum quality and the passive immunity acquisition of the newborn calf, reinforcing the physical barrier against transition period infections by maintaining epithelial integrity. The synergy of Vitamin E and selenium supports immunity, reduces the risk of mastitis, and increases colostrum IgG concentration.
Chelated Organic Minerals
As feed intake decreases during the dry period, mineral absorption also declines. Chelated organic zinc and iron are the most efficient mineral sources during this period due to their superior bioavailability. Copper, iodine, selenium, cobalt, and biotin support the cow's metabolic and immune balance throughout the entire dry period.
Nutrisorb — The Invisible Threat Managed in the Background
Mycotoxin exposure is unavoidable in silage-based dry period rations. Nutrisorb's five-mechanism protection system quietly manages six mycotoxin families — ensuring the dry cow's immune system arrives at calving free from this additional burden.
To manage anionic feeding and mineral-vitamin support from a single bag throughout the dry period and meet calving with a healthy transition, use Bovimate Dry Anionic.
Applied continuously throughout the dry period by mixing into total mixed ration. Urine pH monitoring is recommended.
