Calum McGinley, Ingleston Farm

We have been using X-Zelit since 2012 and find it to be a very simple and effective dry cow management system for our herd of Jerseys. It’s given our staff real confidence in managing the dry period. It has eliminated milk fevers and other associated metabolic issues, as well as improving fertility. We made the mistake of not using X-Zelit but started using it again as the benefits far outweighed the cost of not using it!

We had problems with milk fever before using DC X-Zel. Since using it, this has greatly reduced. The cows clean up really well post calving to the point we have reduced post calving checks, all we do is routines and Pd’s. We have found the cows calve down well and don’t lose as much condition, they appear healthier and colostrum quality is also improved.
