We were also looking to limit immune depression around calving, which is always a delicate period. Deltabolus Feedstim\u00ae quickly proved to be in line with these objectives, which encouraged us to systematically administer two boluses 21 days before calving, starting in October 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 heading\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What technical results have you observed in your herd ?<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, our cows are producing 45 kg of milk at 160 days, with production exceeding 12,000 kg per lactation. Our fat and protein levels remain high (fat 41 \u2013 protein 32), and the herd consists of 32% first-calf heifers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of reproduction, the calving interval stands at 375 days over the last quarter and 386 days on average annually.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 heading\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes have you noticed regarding calving and the start of lactation ?<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since introducing the two Feedstim\u00ae boluses before calving, we have observed a better start to lactation. The quantity and quality of colostrum have also improved, with Brix readings of 23 to 27, indicating a high immunoglobulin content (often exceeding 50 g\/L).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These developments reinforce our confidence in the product: better management of this critical period leads to gains at peak lactation, a key consideration given the robot\u2019s limited capacity to accommodate more cows.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 heading\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Has the Deltabolus Feedstim\u00ae had an impact on reproductive monitoring and the herd\u2019s overall performance?<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the monthly pregnancy results are good, with few animals falling outside the norm. Overall, we feel that the bolus helps the cows realise their full potential, provided that the fundamentals of husbandry are adhered to.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 heading\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any final thoughts?<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are fully satisfied: the product helps us ensure a smooth pre-calving period, improve early lactation, optimise production per cow and support our overall strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\"
