Features & Benefits
- Features
- X-Zelit is simply added to the cow’s diet 2 weeks prior to calving
- Works as a calcium binder in the feed, resulting in low calcium availability
- The cow no longer absorbs calcium through her diet
- Activates her hormone system, boosting blood calcium and strengthening her ability to access calcium from her own body’s reserves.
- At calving, X-Zelit is withdrawn, giving the cow access to calcium from both her diet and her body
- Results in:
- Stable blood levels
- Less risk of milk fever
- Better opportunity for future milk production and calving

- X-Zelit versus feeding anionic salts
When X-Zelit is used no other remedies are needed at calving. Many compares the efficiency of X-Zelit with the traditional feeding of anionic salts (DCAD).
DCAD X-Zelit Is simply mixed into normal ration NO YES Is only started 2 weeks prior to calving NO YES Neutral taste, readily consumed in grain mix; reduces feed wastage NO YES Unaffected by potassium;
