Constitution is, independently from environmental changes in the animal’s life, the main factor affecting its overall health condition. It determines the degree of absorption of nutrients and the fundamental reaction to aggression.
→The carbonic constitution: a large frame with ample musculature. This is the ideal type for meat production but usually indicates less milk production (the cow produces meat instead of milk), especially if the organs in charge of elimination are overloaded. Thus the necessity to drain often this type of milk cow.
→The phosphoric constitution: longer, thinner frame.
Among younger animals, rickets is an illness that stops or slows the process of calcification, with skeleton deformations, swollen, warm and painful joints (leading to arthritis), curving of the limbs or the spine, causing difficulty walking. Growth is altered and deformations are permanent.
Natural for phosphoric contitutions, de-mineralization of dams and calves, nutrition deficiency in nurse milk in the first six months of growth, deficiency in effective fibre (metabolic type no 12) that would develop a sturdy rumen.
MINSOL once a day during 10 days in the 1st month, 5 days the 2nd month, 3 days the third month and 2 days from the fourth to the sixth months of age. For younger calves, the growth deficit can be rapidly recovered.
in a lineage that has a tendency to produce fat, retain its milk, and develop cysts:
Carbonic heredity (heavy), sycosis following vaccines, excess of slow or fast fermentable fibres (metabolic Types no 1 and 2), or excess of fine digestible fibres (Type no 9).
a) For individual animals: DRAINSOL+ FLAMESOL twice a day for 2 days. Once a week in the first month, then once a months for 3 to 6 months.
b) For the lineage: during gestation, DRAINSOL, twice a day, two days in each month of gestation. Three weeks before calving, give DRAINSOL once a day for 3 days.
a) acute, following a difficult calving, especially on fat subjects or those who have put on weight quickly: STRESSOL, in the morning, EDEMASOL + MINSOL, in the evening 3 days in a row.
b) chronic acidosis= excess of rapidly digesting energy (metabolic Type no 1) FLAMESOL + DRAINSOL morning and evening, 2 days a week for 1 month. Be sure to give a good quantity of long dry hay.
through assimilation of proteins by meat cattle or thin cows.
a) Thin dairy cows: Following demineralization during gestation: Give MINSOL, 3 days as soon as you see she does not gain enough weight, or at the beginning of gestation, then once a month for every month of gestation.
→A deficiency in long structural fibre (dry hay) is an important cause of poor digestion and assimilation of carbohydrates and proteins in the ration (metabolic Type no 12).
MINSOL, once a day for 3 days, then once a week for a month or more.
→If there is also an excess of sugar (Type no 1) the ruminal instability problem is aggravated by acidosis
Give FLAMESOL for 2 days, DRAINSOL for 2 days, MINSOL for 2 days, and then each once a week for one month.
b) Fattening of beef:
MINSOL once a week.
Labo Solidago has been offerering since 1990 solutions to dairy farmers whose cows, sheeps or goats suffer from different ailments like mastitis, acute mastitis or toxic mastitis or chronic mastitis, footrot, different infections, like vaginitis or metritis, pneumonia and bronchitis, arthritis, acidosis and acetonemia, retention of the placenta, with signs like high somatic cell counts (leucocytes), slow growth and diarrhea in calves and cows.
