Reference: Transitfütterung

Reference information:
Im Laufe der vergangenen Jahre haben sich die Fütterungssysteme für Hochleistungskühe
erheblich verändert. Die Fütterung der trockenstehenden Kühe beispielsweise wird heute
gleichgesetzt mit der so genannten Transitfütterung.
In der Transitfütterung geht es im Wesentlichen darum, die Kühe auf die Hochleistungsration während der Laktation vorzubereiten und fütterungsbedingte Probleme kurz vor und nach der Kalbung zu minimieren.

Transition Feeding and Ketosis
Failure to provide a sound feeding transition program will affect both production and health. Problems during the transition period can result in the loss of 10 - 20 lbs of peak milk, which is equivalent to an economic loss of $400 - $900 per lactation. Metabolic disorders are also more prevalent with an inadequate transition program.
