How we work
Each programme within AHV Cows & Calves is based on a predetermined approach. The Energy & Metabolism Programme consists of 2 levels of support based on acute energy support. The AHV Territory Manager assesses the health of the herd based on modelled output or anticipation of production cycle expectations.
Benefits
Technology
AHV offers an Energy & Metabolism Programme with products and solutions in a broad variety of applications. We offer multiple options, ranging from providing fast absorbable or slow-release energy to applications that benefit rumen pH and liver support. Products and solutions in all AHV programmes are animal friendly and easy to administer or apply.
Animal health
The liver and rumen are of vital importance to have a healthy producing animal and as such, place a strong demand on available energy. Energy utilization is strongly subject to availability and allocation and the latter is dependent on the health status of the animal. To maintain the functionality of its ‘engines’, the liver and the rumen, cows benefit from a well-managed energy balance.
Financial
Animals that are healthy, produce more optimally and require less intervention. Every biological reaction in the body requires energy and specific organs and systems use a large proportion of available energy for maintenance; the process of being able to function on a base level (i.e., a healthy, normal state). Energy is the cow’s engine and all the energy the cow spends on other things comes at the expense of milk production. The more milk the cow produces, the more it benefits the farmer.
