FINE TUNING MINERAL HOMEOSTASIS

WE AGREE THAT TO PRODUCE MILK ...

We must have: a high number of pregnant cows, which give birth without problems in the peripartum and with a high ingestion of dry matter immediately. So we will have the cows that get pregnant at the desired time, the days in milk decrease and the production increases accordingly.

It is possible to reach these goals by knowing the factors that influence them and first of all is MEASURED MINERAL NUTRITION. In fact, minerals are the essential factor in the physiology and nutrition of dairy cows.
The first nutrients such as energy and proteins are strongly bound to minerals for their use. Minerals affect every function of the animal's body at all times
Our knowledge and our analysis and rationing protocols allow us to know the real situation of the animals and predict the strategic choices of nutritional and management intervention.
Let's find out how.

THE ROLE OF MACRO ELEMENTS IN THE ORGANISM

Direct

  • ADJUSTMENT OF THE ACID-BASE BALANCE
  • ELECTROLYTIC BALANCE
  • CELLULAR HOMEOSTASIS

Indirect

  • ABSORPTION OF GLUCOSE
  • MEMBRANE ACTIVITIES AND ANION-CATION BALANCE
  • ADJUSTMENT OF NA-K-GLUCOSE-AMINO ACID PUMP EXCHANGES

When there are alterations in the presence and availability of macro elements in the body, we note:





Imbalances in mineral homeostasis
Variable dry matter ingestion
Risk of Alkalosis or Metabolic Acidosis


Worsening of performance with reduction in milk production and quality, significant increase in peripartum pathologies and decrease in reproductive parameters


Increase in the frequency of peripartum pathologies such as subclinical hypocalcemia, puerperal collapses, placental retention, metritis, dislocation, ketosis, mastitis.

Consequences:
The membrane pumps, which resides at the entry of nutrients into the cell is altered or blocked; nutrients (glucose, amino acids, minerals) are not used by all tissues: the ration is not effective

THE ROLE OF THE KIDNEY

The kidney responds to the body's needs for homeostasis (conditions of water-salt balance), the blood acts as a latency liquid and cannot influence the concentrations of electrolytes, it simply transports them.

Urine contains electrolytes, anions and cations and allows you to evaluate the acid-base balance.

  • CHECK THE CORRECT EXCHANGE OF EXTRA AND INTRA CELLULAR FLUIDS
  • ELIMINATES WATER AND ELECTROLYTES
  • REGULATES THE ABSORPTION IN THE INTESTINE OF MACRO MINERALS
  • MAINTAINS THE ACID-BASE BALANCE THROUGH THE EXCLUSION OR ABSORPTION OF THE ELECTROLYTES

The kidney is the primary compensation organ for excesses or deficiencies of anions and cations.

It serves to maintain the acid-base balance of the blood unaltered.


Urinalysis allows you to assess the state of mineralization of the cow, the risk of peripartum pathologies and its state of alkalosis or metabolic acidosis.

When to request the analysis of macro minerals in the urine:

  • ROUTINE STANDARD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR THE RISK ASSESSMENT OF PERIPARTAL DISEASES
  • STANDARD DIAGNOSTIC INSTRUMENT IN CASE OF AGGRAVATED PROBLEMS IN THE PERIPART
  • STANDARD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION
  • STANDARD DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR VERIFYING IF THE MINERAL SUPPLEMENT MEETS THE NEEDS
  • DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO CHECK THE RIGHT DOSAGE OF THE MINERAL SUPPLEMENT
  • DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO VERIFY IF THE ANION DIET WORKS
  • DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IN CASE OF THERMAL STRESS AND RISK ASSESSMENT
  • DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO ASSESS WHETHER PRE-POST-DELIVERY PROTOCOLS WORK
  • SOLUTION FOR INFERTILITY

The new diagnostic system allows us

The precise reading of the situation of equilibrium or alteration of cellular homeostasis

Check which ion is interfering

It tells us how and where to act to restore homeostasis and the functionality of the acid-base balance

To be coupled with other analysis systems
