Gypsum can be used as a part of a blend of supplementary nutrients and given to cows pre and post calving.
Gypsum can be useful as a calcium supplement in the transition period for dairy cows, 2 – 4 weeks pre & post calving, to counteract the effects of high potassium & sodium concentrations on milk fever.
Gypsum is 100 times more soluble than lime and is more suitable for the cow’s digestive system during this period.
