Kent minerals provide proper levels of highly bioavailable sources of calcium, phosphorus, trace minerals, and vitamins.
Managing the brood cow's mineral needs to match the stage of production and time of year is a key to optimizing the reproductive performance and longevity of the beef breeding herd. A quality year-round mineral program will enhance protein and energy nutrition as well as support the general and reproductive health of the cows.

Brood cows may experience tetany when grazing lush pasture or low-energy stalk fields and during periods of stress. Lush, cool season, spring grass and wheat pasture present the greatest threat for grass tetany. To help prevent grass tetany, offer Kent MG Mineral free-choice 3 to 4 weeks before cows are turned out on pasture and during the pre- and post-calving phase.
Winter tetany occurs when cows consume excess amounts of low-magnesium forage (stalks) with minimal amounts of grain. Offering Kent MG mineral and Kent EnergiLass® Super Hi-Mag 12 or MG mineral and grain will help reduce the incidence of winter tetany.

During lactation, the cow is providing nutrient-rich milk to a rapidly growing calf at the same time pasture quality begins to deteriorate because of grass maturity and dry late summer conditions. The result is a nutrient-deficient cow that may become thin and produce a weak calf next spring.
Kent ADE mineral provided free-choice along with Kent EnergiLass® 20 or grain will aid the cow through this phase. A quality creep feeding program will also help by reducing the calf's dependency on the cow's milk.
