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.
