Dairy farmers’ experiences with StartLac

“Currently, I give every cow a Metri Tablet and StartLac Paste immediately after calving. In the last 20 cows that have calved with us, the afterbirth came off quickly in all of them and they started up well.”
Dairy Farm Verhagen120 cows, 90 stuks young stock, Sint-Oedenrode
I’ve been using the AHV transition and fertility protocol for three years now, and overall I’m very happy with the results. They’ve become an essential part of managing my herd, especially when it comes to maintaining cow health and productivity.

Once the cow has calved down, I give AHV Booster, Metri, and StartLac Paste, and the results have been great – no dirty cows and zero post-calving issues, which has made things run much more smoothly. Moving forward, I plan to add the AHV Booster Tablet after calving to improve milk production in the next lactation.
Stephen MileyWicklow, Ireland
We go in two weeks pre-calving with the Booster Tablet. When the cow calves down we’re using the Metri Tablet, the StartLac Tablet and the StartLac Paste. This helps the cow to hit the ground running and reduces the open days.

We found that it’s helping with conception rates and reducing the amount of subclinical and clinical milk fever in the first couple of days of calving. We couldn’t recommend it enough here, it’s working for us daily and we’re very happy with the progress.
Kyle HanbidgeWicklow, Ireland
