Data trials and scientific research

New trial at Cornell University

Cornell University tested the efficiency of a calcium binder (X-Zelit®) for preventing hypocalcemia. Feeding low level calcium in the prepartum diet has shown to be effective in improving the calcium level at calving.

X-Zelit increases fertility and reduces number of empty days

A new study from Cornell University showed that cows supplemented with X-Zelit in the dry period were getting pregnant faster.

Impact of blood plasma calcium on lifetime performance

The plasma calcium level around parturition has been shown to have a major effect on fertility. The economic impact of improving the calcium level at calving – obtained by supplementing the pre-partum animals with the product X-Zelit

Hypocalcaemia reduces fertility

Hypocalcaemia has a negative impact on reproduction and cows with a low calcium level are having more empty days lower pregnancy rate and a later heat than the cows maintaining a calcium level above 2.125

We began to use X-Zelit as part of our dry cow management system. It's a simple, effective system which has significantly reduced any problems at calving. Cows are coming into the lactation well and fertility has improved.
