LIFELINE Pre-Calver Mineral Crumb: Precision Nutrition for Housed Dry Cows

LIFELINE Pre-Calver Mineral Crumb is a specialist, free-flowing mineral supplement designed to be mixed into rations or top-dressed on silage. It contains the same patented, unique formulation as the LIFELINE buckets—proven to increase colostrum quality (IgG levels) by up to 20%.

This crumb is the ideal choice for dairy and suckler farmers who house their cows pre-calving and want to ensure every animal receives its precise daily requirement of minerals and immune-boosting ingredients.

 

Key Features & Benefits

  • Scientifically Proven: The only pre-calving supplement proven to significantly boost colostrum antibodies, giving calves superior passive immunity from birth.

  • Milk Fever Defense: Formulated with low calcium and high magnesium (10%) to reduce the risk of hypocalcaemia and support strong calving contractions.

  • Immune & Vitality Boosters: Includes a blend of lactose, mannan-oligosaccharides, and beta-glucans to support the cow’s immune system during the stressful transition period.

  • Superior Trace Elements: Features multiple copper sources (including protected copper) to support post-calving fertility and return to oestrus.

  • Calf Vigour: High levels of Selenium and Vitamin E ensure calves are born alert and ready to suckle quickly.

  • Easy to Use: The bulky, palatable crumb is designed to stay on top of silage, ensuring all animals in the group have even access to the supplement.


Ideal For:

  • Housed Dry Cows: Perfect for inclusion in a TMR or for top-dressing twice daily.

  • Precision Rations: For farmers who want to control intake more accurately than free-access buckets allow.

  • Dairy & Suckler Herds: Use from 6–8 weeks pre-calving for maximum effect on colostrum quality.
