Calving is where cows are set up – or set back

It’s all connected. Calving is the biggest physiological transition a cow will face, and the way she starts post-calving shapes everything that follows – milk production, fertility, and longevity.

By the time a cow struggles to recover, cycles late, or falls short of her potential, the transition period has already influenced her performance.

A programme approach gets ahead of these pressures by supporting the cow through the entire transition; before calving, immediately after, and into early lactation. This helps her recover faster, return to feed sooner, and enter the breeding period in a stronger, more resilient state.

HOW THE TRANSITION & FERTILITY PROGRAMME WORKS

AHV Booster delivers fast-acting energy and essential nutrients to support metabolic balance and recovery.

AHV StartLac provides vital minerals including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus to help prevent deficiencies and support muscle and nerve function. 

AHV Aspi supports the cow’s immune system and helps reduce discomfort, promoting faster recovery and improved well-being.

AHV Metri adds targeted support for uterine health, helping reduce the risk of post-calving complications and promoting a clean, healthy uterus at the start of lactation. 

Together, they offer a complete solution for a smooth, resilient transition into peak productivity and breeding readiness.

“Higher conception rates and better milk quality” with the AHV Longevity Plan 

Stephen Morrison, a dairy farmer from County Antrim, currently milks 220 Pedigree Holstein cows and has been using AHV products for seven years. “It made sense to start proactively treating the cows after they calve. Since using the Longevity Plan, cows are healthier by reducing a negative energy balance, reduced days open with a higher conception rate and better milk quality”.

PROTOCOL EXPLANATION

14 DAYS BEFORE CALVING

  • Booster Tablet: Before calving, cows must significantly increase their energy and calcium metabolism. Booster provides essential energy during this critical period, supporting a smooth transition into lactation.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER CALVING

  • 1x StartLac Paste or 2x Tablet: Right after calving, cows need fast support. This product delivers essential minerals and energy to reduce milk fever risk, kickstart metabolism, and get her eating again—fast.
  • Aspi Tablet: Calving puts enormous stress on the cow’s body. Aspi helps her feel better and calmer right after calving, encouraging faster recovery, increased activity, and higher feed intake from the start.
  • Metri Tablet: Stimulates the release of the placenta after calving, promoting faster recovery and improved uterine hygiene of your fresh cows. 

7 DAYS AFTER CALVING

  • Booster Tablet: Administering essential energy 7 days post-calving supports metabolic recovery and enhances lactation performance, making it a key step in post-partum management.
