Solutrace DCM

DCM leaves more money in your pocket while providing the basics

When animal health issues are not a major concern DCM provides basic supplement support. This is a simple, but comprehensive blend of inorganic trace elements designed to balance the diet of a dairy herd.

FEATURES

  • Totally soluble
  • Comprehensive formulation – offering all 8 trace elements to enhance cow health and immunity.
  • Pricing – higher trace element levels optimised for cost.
  • Easy to use – superior manufacture produces a product that is dry and free-flowing

 

BENEFITS

DCM leaves more money in your pocket while providing basic mineral support designed for your farm animals, all year round.

What the research shows

  • A South Island dairy cow study found that supplementing complexed zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt increased milk yield, supported selected reproductive measures and lifted copper and vitamin B12 reserves in intensively grazed lactating cows. (DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2006.10.006)
  • A dairy cow meta-analysis found that organic trace mineral supplementation was associated with higher milk yield and some reproductive outcomes across lactating cow studies. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2010-3058)
  • A dairy cow study comparing organic and inorganic trace mineral sources found that replacing inorganic salts of cobalt, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium with organic trace minerals caused modest changes in ovarian cyclicity and preimplantation conceptus development, while conception risk and pregnancy rate were not changed. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22784)
  • A dairy cow study found that added sulphur and molybdenum reduced liver copper reserves, with a stronger effect in cows fed grass silage-based diets, showing how dietary antagonists can reduce copper status even when copper is supplied. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2016-12217)
Limits

These studies test organic, complexed or inorganic trace mineral supplementation strategies and dietary mineral antagonists, not this specific Agvance product, its exact formulation, water delivery system or on-farm use programme.

Study details and links

What was tested

Research on trace mineral supplementation in dairy cows, including zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt and selenium, along with research on sulphur and molybdenum as dietary antagonists that can affect copper status.

Milk production outcomes, indicators of reproductive function and fertility, trace mineral status in blood and liver tissues, vitamin B12 reserves, ovarian activity, embryo and conceptus development, feed intake, udder health indicators and selected herd performance measures.

    PubMed record: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28365110/
  • The available research examines broader trace mineral nutrition programmes in dairy cattle and should not be interpreted as direct evidence for the performance of Solutrace DCM itself.
  • Benefits reported in the literature vary between herds and are influenced by factors such as the minerals supplied, the form in which they are provided, overall ration composition, animal requirements and existing mineral reserves.
