Glucose Excelerator is a combination of glucose (milk precursors), Organic
acids (used for Ph increase, microbial protein enhancement, Lactic Acid uptake) which have been shown
to increase immune system stimulation during the Pre-fresh and Post fresh time period for cows. Glucose
Excelerator should be fed at 1-5 pounds 30 days Pre-Fresh and 30 days Post Fresh cows.
Reasons
Glucose X-Celerator is a dry alternative to Propylene Glycol that is a readily
available energy source to alleviate negative energy balance and reduce the prevalence of subclinical
ketosis in fresh cow group.
Applications
Glucose X-Celerator can be fed either by mixing into or top-dressing onto the TMR.
Combing Glucose X-Celerator into the TMR disperses readily accessible energy at a slower rate for a longer
period of time while top-dressing Glucose X-Celerator onto the TMR provides a rush of insulin similar to
the saturating of liquid Propylene Glycol. Mixing Glucose X-Celerator into the TMR for a few days to a week
after freshening can help to decrease incidences of ketosis and is economically equivalent to drenching
liquid Propylene Glycol during this same time frame. The use of Glucose X-Celerator can offer added energy
to cows that are not eating well after freshening and/or are ketotic and can be used in place of liquid PG
drenching.
