VOLAC Flaxpro
Flaxpro is a combination of rumen protected fat and a concentrated
source of omega-3 fatty acids from protected linseed. Flaxpro is manufactured
using unique Volac technology designed to ensure high digestibility
of the product while supplying essential omega-3 fatty acids to the
animal.
Research has demonstrated the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for improving reproduction of dairy cows. Up to 55 % of embryos are estimated to die in early gestation and omega-3 fatty acids can play a key role in reducing this loss.

Product Benefits
- Energy and protein to increase milk production
- Omega-3 alters prostaglandin production to improve
fertility.
- Omega-3 is important in helping the immune system
to fight infection
The Benefits of Feeding Flaxpro
- The ingredients in Flaxpro have been specifically
selected and uniquely processed to improve milk production and
fertility.
- Energy supply and milk production
- Flaxpro is an energy-dense product (23 MJ/kg
DM).
- Flaxpro can help reduce negative energy balance
in early lactation when cows are unable to eat sufficient energy
to meet their requirements for maintenance and milk production.
- Optimal milk production requires a balance of
nutrients; Flaxpro also contains high quality protein to help
balance the additional energy.
Improves Fertility
- Flaxpro is a unique source of functional omega-3
fatty acids.
- Omega-3 fatty acids reduce production of prostaglandins
and help ensure survival of embryos and maintenance of pregnancy.
- Flaxpro helps reduce negative energy balance
in early lactation. Cows in negative energy balance (losing
body condition score) have much poorer fertility than cows gaining
or maintaining body condition.
- Fat in Flaxpro increases production of progesterone,
the essential hormone for pregnancy.
- Fatty acids in Flaxpro lead to production of larger dominant
follicles and higher quality, more viable oocytes (eggs).
Health
- Flaxpro does not contain rapidly fermented ingredients
so does not lead to accumulation of acidosis-causing acids in
the rumen.
- Additional energy helps reduce negative energy
balance conditions such as ketosis and fatty liver.
- Omega-3 fatty acids in Flaxpro are important
for functioning of the immune system to help fight infection.
