Cattle Nutrition & Fetal Development: Supporting Your Herd This Season

As the weather turns colder and forage quality declines, maintaining proper nutrition for pregnant cows becomes even more critical. This season is a key time to support fetal development and ensure your calves are healthy and strong at birth. The nutrients a cow receives now directly influence calf growth, immunity, and long-term performance.

At Agribest Feeds, we help producers maintain consistent, high-quality nutrition during this challenging time with supplements like SweetPro®, RumenEdge®, and Redmond. These products support both cow and calf through every stage of pregnancy, even when feed resources are limited.

Why This Season Matters

Winter and late fall are when forage is often lower in energy, protein, and minerals. Without proper supplementation, cows can lose condition, and fetal growth can be compromised. Supporting your herd throughout the season ensures:

• Steady fetal growth and development

• Strong colostrum for calf immunity

• Maintenance of cow body condition for easier calving

• Reduced stress and improved overall herd health

  
  

Seasonal Nutrition Strategies

✅ Energy & Protein – Help cows maintain condition and support fetal growth during colder months.✅ Minerals & Vitamins – Critical for immunity, reproduction, and calf vigor.✅ Rumen Support – Enhances digestion of lower-quality hay and forage.
