F1 Ignition - A palatable energising drink for fresh calvers

What is F1 Ignition?

F1 Ignition is a fundamentally essential product for all fresh calved cows.

The physical expansion of the rumen to take up the space left by the foetal calf gives two key benefits:

  1. Dramatic reduction in cases of displaced abomasum to the top of the body cavity after calving.
  2. The enlarged rumen immediately stimulates an improved appetite. This has a highly significant effect on reducing negative energy balance in the fresh-calved cow. This has a major benefit in reducing the need for the cow to mobilise quite so much body condition. In turn this reduction in stress leads to a much improved conception rate.

The provision of extra soluble calcium and phosphorus in F1 Ignition allows the animal to reduce the threat from milk fever. Whilst we cannot claim that it is a cure for this condition F1 Ignition will, in most cases eliminate the threat.

F1 Yeast in F1 Ignition

A single dose of F1 Ignition contains four times the normal daily recommended dose of F1 Yeast. F1 Yeast has a beneficial effect on ruimen micro-flora population from the outset. It is well known that double-dosing F1 Yeast in the close up dry period and the fresher group gives a genuine increase in overall productivity.

Protected Choline in F1 Ignition

F1 Ignition features the addition of a double dose of protected choline. The choice of protected choline that we use is Sta-Chol. This product is double protected and double coated. This valuable source of choline has been proven to enhance liver function by removing excess fat deposits from the liver. We recommend that this dose forms part of a more general program of feeding protected choline to the close up and fresher groups by using F1 De-Tox.

Why Should You Give F1 Ignition to Your Fresh Calvers

Giving the cow a dose or two of F1 Ignition within five to ten minutes of her calving will speed up her recovery. Cows that stand and cleanse quickly tend to be better mothers and also return to the feed trough more rapidly. Offering this palatable drink will increase appetite response from the very start of lactation.

This one act has major long-term benefits.

The mother's instinct to lick the newborn calf can be assisted by pouring a little F1 Ignition onto the back of the calf, usually when she has just about finished drinking her fill.
