Your cow is your asset. Milk is her daily dividend. 🥛
And the size of that dividend is decided BEFORE she calves.
Many farmers start feeding well only after calving. By then, half the game is gone. Here is the DairyVerse plan, step by step, with our new-generation range.
🐄 PHASE 1: IT STARTS AT CONCEPTION
Serve your heifer when she reaches about 2/3 of her mother's adult weight (about 330 kg if mum weighs 500 kg). Good body condition now means better fertility and more milk later.
🌾 PHASE 2: DRY-OFF (8 weeks before calving)
Stop milking and ask your vet about dry-cow therapy. Give more hay or dry stover, cut silage by 40%, keep dairy meal at 3 kg or less, and use low-calcium dry-cow minerals.
✅ NEW: DryCow-Boost. 30 g a day for 36 days (one 1.08 kg pack). Vitamins A, D3 and E plus live yeast. No added copper or selenium, so it is safe with her dry-cow lick.
📈 PHASE 3: STEAMING UP (last 18 days)
Give high-protein feeds, raise dairy meal step by step to 5 kg a day, and keep the dry-cow lick going.
✅ Tranzpro®. 2 tablespoons a day, from 18 days before calving to day 36 after. Supports udder growth and calf nutrition.
🍼 PHASE 4: FRESH COW (calving to day 36)
Milk starts flowing, but appetite drops. Act fast: give fresh fodder (70 kg) or silage (20 kg) a day, raise dairy meal to match her milk, and go back to high-calcium minerals.
✅ NEW: Rumen Feed® "1-Day Silage". Old fodder, new appetite! Mix 250 g into 250 kg of chopped napier or dry maize stover (one 1 kg pack treats about 1 tonne). Cover overnight and feed the next day. It softens tough fodder so she eats more.
🥛 PHASE 5: MILKING (day 37 to next dry-off)
Feed dairy meal by milk yield, with clean water always.
✅ NEW: Maziwa Boost Extra®. 150 g a day, every day she milks. One 4.5 kg pack lasts 30 days. KSh 3,750. Supports milk, body condition and fertility.
✅ NEW: Machicha-Mix®. Feeding machicha? Add 1 scoop (23 g) per cow a day. Keep machicha to 5 kg per cow, always with long fodder. Supports a steady rumen.
WHEN DONE RIGHT, EXPECT:
✔ A smoother calving and transition
✔ A strong appetite after calving
✔ Back on heat around day 45
✔ A higher milk peak that lasts
