How marine omega-3 supports fertility, reproductive performance, and condition in the dairy herd, and how SALMATE® delivers it as a stable dry powder.
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially the long-chain marine forms EPA and DHA, are the omega-3s most studied in dairy nutrition. In transition and lactating cows, dietary EPA and DHA are associated with supporting reproductive performance, including fertility and conception outcomes, and with supporting cows through the demands of early lactation.
Because rumen microbes alter many dietary fats, a stable, consistent source helps deliver omega-3 to the cow run after run. That makes a dry, free-flowing format practical for the realities of a feed mill or on-farm mixer.
EPA and DHA are associated with supporting reproductive performance and fertility in dairy cows.
Omega-3 nutrition supports cows through the metabolic demands of calving and early lactation.
Dietary omega-3 can contribute to the fatty-acid profile of milk.
SALMATE® delivers EPA and DHA as a free-flowing, spray-dried powder that blends directly into TMR, premixes, and pelleted feed, with the handling and shelf stability that liquid fish oil lacks.
Research associates dietary EPA and DHA with supporting reproductive performance and fertility in dairy cows. SALMATE® provides EPA and DHA in a stable dry form for consistent inclusion.
SALMATE® is a free-flowing powder that blends into TMR, premixes, and pelleted feed, without the pumps, heating, and cleanup that liquid fish oil requires.
Flax and other plant sources provide ALA, which animals convert to EPA and DHA only inefficiently. A direct marine source supplies the long-chain EPA and DHA the diet is reaching for.
