McNess introduces new
FREEPORT, IL - A new
vitamin-mineral premix
specifically formulated to provide
improved growth and production
in dairy replacement heifers is
now available from Furst-McNess
Company. The product, Dairy
Heifer Premix-R, includes the
vitamins and minerals essential to
growing heifers, plus Rumensin to
improve average daily gain.
rK m j
“Fed at the rate of one-third
pound per head daily, Dairy Heifer
Premix-R provides 200 milligrams
of Rumensin per heifer daily,
along with adequate calcium,
phosphorus, sulfur, potassium,
magnessium, salt, trace minerals,
vitamin A, vitamin D 3 and vitamin
E,’’ explains Stan Bruegger,
Ph.D., vice president of Technical
Services for Furst-McNess.
Citing results of 10 feeding trials
involving both beef and dairy
heifers, Bruegger points out,
“Rations containing 200

0.14 pounds, which was a 9.»
percent improvement overall.”
According to Bruegger, “It is
important for dairymen to pay
attention to replacement heifers
for a number of reasons.
“First, consider feed costs that
account for more than 55 percent of
the total cost in raising a
replacement heifer to 24 months of
age. This daily cost increases as
the age of the animal increases, so
it is important to get replacement
heifers steadily gaining and in the
milking line, thus reducing their
maintenance cost.
“Another reason is if dairymen
would push these heifers a little
harder, following sound
management and nutritional
practices, we’d get more heifers
bred at 13 to 15 months than we do
now. Reproductive data from five
trials shows that heifers receiving
Rumensin showed estrus an
average of 13 days earlier than
those not receiving Rumensin.”
Research also shows the im
portance of good nutrition in im
proving conception rates and
reducing calving - related
problems. Bruegger reports, “In a
448-day feeding trial, conception
occurred 38 days sooner in a group
of Holstein heifers fed Rumensin
than those not receiving
Rumensin. The Rumensin-fed
heifers weighed 62 pounds more at
the time of calving than the control
group.
“Underweight heifers often lack
skeletal development and have
reduced pelvic openings, which
can cause complications during
delivery. A 1,200-pound heifer in
good body condition and sound
skeletal development will usually
recover from calving more quickly
than underweight or over
conditioned heifers, thus enabling
her to better meet the demand of
milk production.”
