LiFT has been tested on dairy units in England. High yielding cows were divided into two groups of 20
cows each. The experiment started three weeks before calving and ended 90 days into the lactation. In
the frst 50 days of lactation, average milk yield increased by 3.4 kg a day where LiFT was included in the
diet compared with the control. Later in lactation, the difference increased even further (Figure 2).
It is also possible to overcome some of the problems of a negative energy balance by including
HyproPower in the diet. In this specifc liver supporting product, B vitamins are protected from rumen
breakdown by a rumen resistant fat source, Hyprofat. The use of Hyprofat increases the availability of
energy to the animal and decreases the negative energy balance. HyproPower is a palatable product
that may be used as a topdressing, mixed in concentrates or added to the total mixed ration.
