Mating time is a critical window to improve productivity and efficiency. Optimising reproductive health now can mean more successful pregnancies, lower empty rates, fewer complications and better overall performance.
Nutritech’s AquaTrace® Mating Pack and Mating Top-Up Liquid are scientifically formulated to support reproductive performance and immune health in dairy cows and bulls during the critical mating period. Whether you’re looking to improve heat detection, reduce early embryonic loss, or support immune function, our targeted formulations deliver results.
Why Choose Nutritech’s Mating Solutions?
- Iodine – Supports thyroid hormone production, essential for heat expression and energy metabolism. NZ trials show a 13.9% increase in pregnancy rates in anoestrous cows treated with iodine.
- Selenium – Vital for immune function and reproductive health. Reduces incidence of metritis, retained placenta, and ovarian cysts. Also supports bull fertility.
- Melofeed® (in Mating Pack) – Exclusive primary antioxidant that protects eggs and embryos from oxidative stress. Proven to reduce SCC in cows.
- Vitamins A, D3, and E (in Top-Up Liquid) – Support tissue development, calcium absorption, and immune function during peak milk production.
- Organic Trace Minerals – Including copper, zinc, cobalt, and selenium for optimal bioavailability and performance.
- Golden Flake® rumen bypass fat – A superb quality protected fat that boosts milk yield, improves cow condition, and enhances reproductive success. Trials show conception rates improved from 40% to 59% when feeding protected fats like Golden Flake®. Its high energy content helps reduce bodyweight loss in early lactation, a key factor in fertility.
- LipoEN+ – provides cows with a boost of energy when they need it most with LipoEN+, a highly effective bypass glycerol. It is like giving an MPG drench but much easier to administer in a powdered form, and one-fifth of the cost of liquid MPG.
