Tough FE season?

Cows exposed to facial eczema often have damaged livers, lower appetite and poorer fertility going into dry-off.

South Island farmers are making their winter feeding plans now and it's key that mineral support matches the crop, feed plan and cow condition.

Challenge: Settling cows onto fodder beet or conserved feed without checking mineral balance can raise milk‑fever, poor reproduction and lower intakes.

What to check now:
✔️ Cow BCS and cows historically prone to milk fever or thin condition.
✔️ Forage analysis (silage, fodder beet) for calcium, phosphorus and soluble potassium.
✔️ Feed delivery and wet‑weather storage.

Practical next steps:
✔️ We suggest planning targeted calcium and phosphorus support for cows coming off fodder beet.
✔️ These can help: Winter loose licks, CalciPhos or SoluPhos where phosphorus is low, and Pentamin Plus for higher trace needs.
✔️ Use trough or covered placement on wet paddocks to protect licks and intakes.

When choosing calf nutrition products, it is important to select based on outcomes, not just ingredients.

Here are some of our best recommendations:
- For a great start to life with strong immunity & vigour - we suggest Calf Protect to boost colostrum response and reduce early setbacks.
- Higher disease risk or uneven mobs - select Calf Protect Plus for extra trace minerals and immune support.
- For targeted growth and rearing performance - we suggest Calf Protect Grower to lift ADG through the grower phase.

Plan early so you can hit the ground running when calving comes around. Now is a good time to chat to your rep about which calf option best suits your system.

Transition support that fits your system is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Different farms need different transition options, and the right fit depends on the system.

Getting it right and planning ahead saves stress at transition, but don’t worry, here is a quick breakdown to help you match the right product with your system.

When you switch to maize or new feeds, energy gaps are sorted quickly but minerals, buffers and rumen stability often lag. That’s when acidosis, poor intakes and lower yield can show up.

Check now:
- Rumen buffers and effective fibre, maize can drop scratch factor
- Premix balance - match for starch shift, not just calories
- DCAD and salt if close-up cows may be affected
- Phosphorus and trace minerals when silage/maize dilute intake
- Mixing routine and feed delivery consistency

Practical fixes:
- Use a tailored premix or maize balancer to steady rumen function
- Top up water‑soluble minerals or Soluphos if phosphorus tests low
- Keep feed particle size and push‑ups consistent
- Monitor cow appetite and manure consistency for early warning signs

We are noticing more farmers around the country are ordering earlier to avoid supply stress. If you know what you’ll need, now is the time to get ahead on:

• Transition lines to help steady intake and DCAD management.
• Premixes and maize balancers for steady rumen function when feed changes.
• Water soluble phosphorus for if silage tests low.
• Calf ranges and loose licks for smooth rearing and variable grazing.
• Water soluble minerals, iron support and copper chelate where herd status needs topping up.

If you know what you’ll need, now is a good time to plan orders and get ahead of the season. Talk to your Agvance Consultant to order now.

Magnesium helps but it won’t cover energy, phosphorus or trace mineral gaps. Check BCS, feeds and minerals now, and talk to your Agvance Consultant to make sure your transition mix does the full job before winter gets busy.

Hey, have you started transition planning yet?

Planning ahead makes transition much easier for you, and your cows. A good plan helps reduce illness, supports appetite recovery and protects reproduction. It can also mean fewer cases of ketosis, fatty liver, retained placenta and slow return to cycling, along with fewer treatments and less lost production.
