A 200-cow herd with 200 SCC loses 160,000 lbs. of milk per year.
For nearly ten years Immu-Pro has done tremendous things for us. We’ve seen many products come and go, yet Immu-Pro is something special. It’s one reason I chose to keep milking, as it will pull you through the tough times. Yes, we all know Jerseys are wonderful, efficient, high-component cows, yet calves and cows can be tender at times. Yet with Immu-Pro in calf milk and in the cows’ ration, I have no real problems. Calves are thriving and cows milk well, few digestive metabolic issues, plus very little udder problems, and udder quality is like silk. We now have 6% fat and 4.5% protein. Some cows testing 9-10% with 70 plus lbs of milk. Our milk price about $6 cwt/over class III. Immu-Pro makes dairy farming more fun. Just try it. Got a herd problem? Call us for a free consultation.

Champion’s choice at shows and at home
“...over 10 years... definitely worth it.” — Ysabel Jacobs
FERME JACOBS, cap-santé, QUEBEC, Master Breeder 1984, 1998, 2012 200 milking 55 EX, 140 VG, Milk 11,500 kg (25,400 lbs), SCC under 100,000 Premier Breeder 2016 RAWF, Premier Breeder 2018 World Dairy Expo Ysabel Jacobs with 2018 World Dairy Expo International Holstein Show grand champion, also bred-and-owned champion, Jacobs Lauthority Loana (above). Ferme Jacobs also exhibited the intermediate champion Erbacres Snapple Shakira-ET.
“We believe in Udder Comfort™. It really helps our cows and is definitely worth the investment. We have been using this product over 10 years, for our show cows and our fresh cows and any cow with high SCC. It brings the quality and texture to the udder, and it also brings down SCC,” says Ysabel Jacobs, Ferme Jacobs, Cap-Santé, Quebec, founded by her late grandfather Leo. Today, Ysabel and brother Yan run the farm with their parents Jean and Marian and their longtime employees. They apply Udder Comfort daily at the shows. At home, all fresh udders get Udder Comfort after each milking for the first 3 days after calving. Udder quality is important at Ferme Jacobs, recognized 3 times as Master Breeder.
Ferme Jacobs earned premier breeder 6 times since 2007 at World Dairy, including 2018. Their bred-and-owned aged cow Jacobs Lauthority Loana was grand champion of the competitive International Holstein Show at the 2018 World Dairy Expo in October. Quality Udders Make Quality Milk
