KACTUS

KACTUS is a mineral solution that reduces the effects of heat stress in cows by compensating for electrolyte losses. KACTUS also reduces the risk of milk fat depression (MFD) syndrome by preventing the formation of trans fatty acids in the rumen.

Reduces oxidative stress
Increased Dietary Anion Cation Balance (DCAB) of the rations through additional Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) intake.
Maintains ingestion
Maintains milk production and fat levels.

Acts on the ration’s positive DCAB

During periods of intense heat, potassium (K) and sodium (Na) losses are increased due to excessive sweating, increased urinary excretion and increased salivation (hypersalivation). Heat stress also increases the risk of ruminal and metabolic acidosis.

Increase the DCAB with an intake of Bicarbonate and Carbonate

Kactus has been specially formulated to ensure a continuous supply of minerals in the feed and to compensate for potassium and sodium losses, it increases the ration’s DCAB by providing carbonates and bicarbonates. These intakes increase the buffering capacity of the blood and buffers the rumen H, they also prevent the onset of ruminal and metabolic acidosis. As a result, ingestion and milk production are supported and levels are maintained.
