Dairy Cow Supplementation
The use of mineral and vitamin supplements for dairy cattle has long been recognized, as the appropriate amounts of certain vitamins and minerals can significantly enhance the current and future performance of the herd.
Therefore, the scientific and support team at Yekta Dam Persian has formulated vitamin and mineral supplements for all groups within dairy herds (lactating cows, dry cows, and calves) using up-to-date knowledge. By employing high-quality raw materials and appropriate tools, they have taken effective steps to improve herd health, enhance herd performance, and ultimately provide a rich product for consumers.
1) Dry Cow and Pregnant Heifer MultiMax Supplement
Pregnant animals, especially heifers, must be fed in a way that ensures they have an optimal body condition at the time of calving. Since animals in the dry period consume less concentrate compared to lactation, they may not receive sufficient nutrients such as vitamins and minerals adequately. Thus, the use of vitamin and mineral supplements during this period is recommended to prevent problems for both the mother and calf at calving and to avoid a decrease in calf production in the herd.

Benefits:
Appropriate ratio of elements for better growth of heifers
Provision of necessary elements to induce estrus at the right time after calving
Adequate magnesium to enhance muscle function and facilitate calving
Sufficient supply of trace minerals and vitamin E to prevent retained placenta and udder edema
2) Anionic MultiMax Supplement
Feeding a diet with a negative cation-anion balance (DCAD) before calving prevents severe and prolonged decreases in blood calcium concentration during the postpartum period, due to the development of mild acidosis from the anionic diet. The mechanism preventing hypocalcemia involves reducing the DCAD of the diet, increasing calcium flow, and enhancing calcium excretion through urine, while restoring tissue sensitivity to parathyroid hormone stimulation. This mechanism becomes inactive under alkaline conditions, leading to increased calcium reabsorption from bones or improved intestinal absorption of calcium, or both. Recent studies have shown that feeding a negative DCAD before calving increases blood calcium levels and improves animal production.
Therefore, this supplement contains four types of anionic salts tailored to the needs of cows expecting calving, reducing the incidence of milk fever and hypocalcemia after calving, while maintaining the calcium-to-magnesium ratio to decrease difficult calving and retained placenta.

Ingredients of Anionic MultiMax Supplement
Calcium Carbonate
Magnesium Sulfate
Magnesium Oxide
Calcium Chloride
Target Group:
Pregnant cows (Close Up), 21 days before calving
3) Pre-Calving Mixed Supplement MultiMax
When transitioning cows from the Far-off to the Close-up period, their nutritional needs change significantly. Therefore, special nutrients, particularly suitable dietary supplements with specific doses, should be used in the feed of these animals from 21 days before calving to 21 days after calving. Common diets for dairy cows contain high levels of cations such as potassium and sodium. The anionic supplement helps prevent diseases like milk fever by reducing the cation-anion balance due to its high levels of effective anionic salts and by countering metabolic alkalosis. Additionally, feeding this supplement can lower the urinary pH of cows during this period while providing necessary vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, protected choline is used in the MultiMax pre-calving supplement to prevent triglyceride accumulation in the liver, thereby reducing the incidence of fatty liver disease.
The recommended amounts of vitamins A and E, along with other organic minerals, strengthen the immune system and enhance the animal’s resistance to diseases such as mastitis and retained placenta. Therefore, efforts have been made to formulate various pre-calving supplements with specific amounts of vitamins and organic minerals, combined with palatable plant materials, for market release.

4) Transition Period Supplement MultiMax
The transition period typically refers to 2 to 3 weeks before calving and 2 to 3 weeks after calving, making it one of the most sensitive and critical periods in dairy cow management. Therefore, special nutrients and appropriate dietary supplements with specific doses should be used in the feed of these animals from 21 days before calving to 21 days after calving. The primary goal of feeding dairy cows during this phase is to reduce the incidence of metabolic disorders. By using the formulated supplement from Yekta Dam Persian Trading Group, efforts are made to improve the condition of cows after calving (reproductive and metabolic functions) through proper management and nutrition. This includes maintaining cows at peak production levels, enhancing insulin performance and energy intake, reducing liver pressure, thus helping to prevent fatty liver, ketosis incidence, and ultimately increasing feed intake to reach the recommended feed consumption levels for animals in this group.

6) MultiMax Vitamin and Mineral Supplement for Dairy Calves (Under 3 Months)
