Spring pasture affects cow's fertility - Identify open cows with the Alertys Milk Pregnancy Test

One of the key management actions to consistently achieve high reproductive efficiency is to maintain adequate pasture resources. Poor nutrition in the pasture is often the leading cause of sub-fertility in your herds.

CRUDE PROTEIN

It is higher in spring grass and can influence the metabolism of the cow and can lead to recurring heat and early embryonic loss in worst case

RAW FIBRE/STRUCTURE

These are reduced in spring grass. Can cause rumen acidosis which can also affect fertility in term of early embryonic loss or silent heat

DIGESTIBLE ENERGY

Spring grass is highly digestible, which means a high energy content. This can also influence the metabolism and fertility

MINERALS

These are lower in spring grass, and increase the risk for silent heat
