Dry matter intake of dairy cows is reduced in the period around calving. From two weeks before calving until peak milk production is reached, dairy cows are in negative energy balance which increases the risk to develop subclinical or clinical ketosis. Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus provides glucogenic energy and reduces the risk of subclinical or clinical ketosis in dairy cows.
Reducing the impact of negative energy balance in dairy cows
Glucogenic energy increases the insulin levels which leads to a reduction of fat mobilisation.
Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus is a dry product that can be included in compound feed or fed in a TMR. Feed 600 g/animal/day during the period from two weeks before until 6 week after calving.
Features
Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus contains propylene glycol absorbed to chicory pulp and a number of vitamins and minerals stimulating liver function.
Benefits
Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus is a highly palatable product that provides glucogenic energy which increases insulin levels, leading to a reduction of fat mobilisation. This reduces the risk of problems related to negative energy balance.
"I recommend all farmers who have problems with ketosis to use the product because it is very effective."
"We had a lot of ketosis cases in the period immediately before calving. Many cows were slow, stopped eating, lost weight, and ended up dying. Since we use Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus, ketosis is under control”. Starting 21 days before calving, 140 gram of Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus per day is added to a diet containing ryegrass haylage, corn silage, a commercial concentrate and a vitamin mineral mix with anionic salts. "Cows on Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus have a good start of lactation and reach their peak production around 60 days”. Gema tried other ketosis products in the past, but has worked with Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus for 7 years now and does not see a reason to change. "Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus has worked very well for me. I recommend all farmers who have problems with ketosis to use the product because it is very effective."

Science-based solutions for optimum dairy performance
HealthyLife LACTIBUTE
Adding Selko LactiBute to the ratio increases milk production while increasing fat and protein levels at the same time. This results in an increase of Energy Corrected Milk of 0.85-1 kg per head per day.
SELKO INTELLIBOND
IntelliBond’s increased bioavailability and the positive impact on fibre digestion and gut barrier function support well-being and optimizes animal productivity of dairy cows.
SELKO TOXO & TOXO-XL
Selko TOXO® is a mycotoxin mitigation product that contains bentonite, which has strong binding capacity for aflatoxins, ergot toxines and LPS, in combination with glucose biopolymers which maintain gut tight junctions to reduce the translocation of mycotoxins into blood stream. Selko TOXO-XL® combines this with purified β-glucans that improve the immune function of dairy cows.
SELKO TMR
Selko TMR® is a blend of organic acids that reduces the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae like Salmonella. As a result of the reduction in growth of micro-organisms, increases in temperature of the TMR are delayed by at least 6 hours in silages treated with Selko-TMR, resulting in a higher dry matter intake.
SELKO NUTRICOOL
Even the best heat stress control programme cannot always fully prevent problems with heat stress in dairy cows. Supplementation with Selko NutriCool can help to avoid a drop in dry matter intake and loss of milk production as a result of heat stress.
FARM-O-SAN GLUCOLAC
Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus provides glucogenic energy and reduces the risk of subclinical or clinical ketosis in dairy cows.
FARM-O-SAN REVIVA
Farm-O-San Reviva is a highly palatable post calving drink for dairy cows, with large amounts of energy and calcium. It reduces the risk of hypocalcaemia and milk fever in dairy cows.
