Ways to feed EPA/DHA Omega-3 with Strata

Essential
Support

Feed .066 to .1 lb Strata
throughout lactation

Meet your herd’s nutrient requirement for EPA/DHA for improved embryo development, healthy immune function and better recovery from stress events by feeding essential levels of Strata across the lactation.

Target the
Transition

Feed close-ups .12 lb &
fresh cows .12-.4 lb Strata

Enhance your cows’ innate ability to transition well by feeding EPA/DHA in both the pre-fresh and fresh pens. Starting before calving ensures adequate levels are available to the cow during her most immune-challenged period.
