Delta® Argicow: ‘”A complete and versatile product” [Breeder testimony]
How did you hear about this product?
“On the advice of my vet at the cooperative, I was looking for a product with vitamin C”, explains the breeder.
Why do you use this type of product and for how long?
The cows on SCEA CLEAC’H’s farm (SCEA Société Civile d’Exploitation Agricole = agricultural private partnership), are regularly in draughts, so the main goal is to work preventively to avoid winter problems of digestive disorders.
Did you use another product before?
“Yes, we did. We had been using a competitor’s product for 6-7 years, but it turned out to be much less complete in its composition.”
How do you deal with winter problems?
“We do 5-day cures every month. In addition, for my farm, it’s easy, 1 bag = 1 course of treatment”.
Alexandre Cleac’h also explains that, before giving the course of treatment to the animals, he checks the weather. If there is a big temperature difference between day and night, he adapts the application of the product to ensure that it is applied during the period of greatest risk.
How is the product used? (Dosage, on which animals, etc.)
For ease of use, Argicow, like other products, is applied directly alongside the maize silo, using the self-service system. For a course of treatment, this provides 100g of Argicow per cow per day for 5 days. The product is only given to adults, as the farm has no problems with young cows.
How do you rate the product and its effectiveness?
“So far, I haven’t noticed any digestive problems, which means that the product really is effective”, explains the breeder. Since I have been using Argicow, my animals have been doing well, with no drop in levels, no blood in the dung…”.
Conclusion
For Alexandre Cleac’h, Delta Argicow is the right product for his livestock. He has found a complete and inexpensive product that is self-sufficient when it comes to working on digestive comfort.
