Description of the product
X-Zelit® is a product of white granules
X-Zelit® is a new and different product for prevention of both clinical and sub clinical milk fever
- X-Zelit® is a result of several years of development work and research at the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen
- The product contains synthetic Zeolite (sodium aluminium silicate), which binds the calcium and phosphorus present in the rumen and intestines (the feed)
- Hereby the cow´s own hormone system is activated
- The result is that the cow´s own hormone system is ready for maximum absorption of calcium from both feed as well as from the skeleton on the day of calving
- All tings equal, this means a reduced risk of both clinical and sub clinical milk fever
