ZEOLITE COMPOSITION FOR PREVENTING HYPOCALCEMIC PARTURIENT PARESIS IN COWS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a fodder additive in dairy cows forage in order to prevent hypocalcemic parturient paresis, where the fodder additive is a zeolite extracted from natural stone and processed by micronization to a particle size of 5 μ m and activated by thermal processing , which is dosed in the forage in an amount of 20 g of zeolite/kg of forage, intended for daily administration during 2 weeks before the probable parturition date and at least 60 days after it, while maintaining a blood calcium value of more than 8 mg/dl.
