The transition period is where small imbalances turn into costly setbacks. Around calving, cows face a sharp rise in nutrient demand, while feed intake often drops. The right cattle feed supplements help stabilise mineral balance, support appetite and protect performance when it matters most.
At R2 Agro, we develop targeted solutions for cattle nutrition with a strong focus on the transition period. Our supplements are designed to support metabolic stability and help cows stay on track through calving, fresh cow days and early lactation.
Our portfolio includes mineral supplements transition cows can benefit from when calcium balance, rumen function and energy supply are under pressure. The goal is practical: fewer setbacks, steadier milk production, and a smoother return to full feed intake without compromising animal welfare.
We offer a focused range of cattle feed supplements designed for key risk periods—especially around calving and early lactation. The portfolio includes energy and electrolyte support for fresh cows, calcium boluses to reduce the risk of milk fever, phosphorus support, combined Ca-P solutions, and trace element boluses (including selenium and iodine). We also offer selected options for organic production.
Because transition cows face high demand for minerals and energy at a time when intake is often reduced. Targeted supplementation helps support metabolic balance, appetite and stable early-lactation performance.
Transition cows often require focused support for calcium and magnesium balance, alongside nutrients that help maintain rumen function and recovery after calving. The right strategy depends on herd risk level and feeding program.
They can support the cow’s resilience by stabilising key nutritional parameters during a high-risk phase. That often translates into fewer performance dips and smoother recovery - especially in older cows and high producers.
