| MEGALAC-R offers a unique combination of essential fatty acids proven to increase reproductive performance. These essential fatty acids, specifically linoleic and linolenic acids, impact the cow by: - Helping build reproductive hormones
Essential fatty acids act as precursors and regulators of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are responsible for ovulation, estrous cycles, visible signs of heat and follicle growth. - Assisting with progesterone production
When higher levels of progesterone are maintained through conception, cows that settle are more likely to stay pregnant. - Possibly reducing the incidence of other health events
Although more research is needed, preliminary data shows a decrease in milk fever, displaced abomasums and abortions in cows fed diets with higher EFA levels. Other research has shown that EFAs affect the immune system and bone metabolism. |  |
