WHAT IS CRYSTALYX®? The CRYSTALYX® brand represents a high-quality feed supplement that is produced from molasses and plant oil as the basis in a technologically unique production process. The intake of this energy-rich feed lick promotes the metabolism in the rumen and therefore increases feed intake. The weather-proof product with a dry matter content of at least 95 percent is made without compaction pressure and without a heat chemical reaction.
Over 50% of the diseases during lactation have their origin from the calving period or the first two weeks of lactation. The CRYSTALYX® concept reduces and eliminates the typical problems caused around calving:
Pre-partum Increases the activity and number of rumen microbes, thereby having a positive effect on dry matter intake Helps to keep an adequate rumen volume Increases the level of blood glucose Reduces the risk of metabolic disorders (eg. milk fever or ketosis) Together with forage provides an adequate and individual supply of minerals and vitamins
Post-partum Reduces the time to achieve the peak dry matter intake Increases the total energy and nutrient supply Reduces the risk of acidosis (by stimulating saliva production and higher forage intake) Supports a positve energy balance, thereby reducing risk of ketosis Supports fertility
