Improved immunity means maximized repro and increased milk production
Targeted fat feeding during the transition period
The transition period encompasses three weeks prior to and three weeks post-calving, and is a stressful time in the cow’s life with increased incidence of metabolic and infectious diseases. During this period cows encounter negative energy balance (NEB) due to extreme metabolic stress and changing hormones as they transition from a pregnant to energy-demanding lactating state.
This NEB impairs immunity leading to increased incidence of disease (mastitis), reduced fertility, and decreased milk output, causing economic loss to the producer.

Determine your cost benefit by incorporating linPRO-R into the transition period for dairy cows.
Why you should consider using LinPRO-R?
Optimized immunity
Increased Omega-3 energy density results in positive energy balance, improving resolution of inflammation. Reduction in mastitis and involuntary culls.
Maximize repro
Increased conception rates for first service, especially in first lactation cows. Reduction of total cow cost associated with failed pregnancy.
Increase milk production
More production and less downtime, with quicker return to lactation, and daily milk yield improvements.
Targeted fat feeding increases Omega-3 energy density in the diet and can reduce negative energy balance increasing fertility and milk production
Proven results from trusted voices in dairy health
The linPRO COWculator’s cost benefit is evaluated in the application program starting with how the immunity response supports improved conception (pregnancy) along with added milk production.
Research studies at PennState and UCDavis have targeted Omega-3 fat feeding using linPRO-R, a dry-extruded flaxseed supplement, measuring effects on immune function, plasma metabolites, and fatty acid composition of milk fat, plasma, and red blood cells.
Omega-3 PUFA serve as precursors for bioactive hormones that regulate immune function
The linPRO-R solution
LinPRO-R is a commercial flaxseed-based feed ingredient manufactured using dry-extrusion processing technology incorporating a unique ingredient combination of peas, alfalfa, vitamin E, and flaxseed. It is a ready-to-use, economical and stable source of plant-based Omega-3s and proteins that support immunity, reproduction and milk production.
The Power of dry extrusion
Omega-3 FA counterbalance Omega-6 FA, leading to optimal activation and resolution of inflammation
