The methods used so far, mainly the DCAD methods as well as intensive use of calcium bolus, has not been able to eliminate this diseases. X-Zelit is a new way to attack this challenge and we are impressed that it possible to see so clear positive effect on the reproduction. After 150 days, 30 % of the control group were not pregnant whereas in the X-Zelit group only 10 % were non-pregnant. This show that low calcium at calving negatively influence the production of the animal in the whole lactation.
