The Animate® App helps you better track the transition program on your dairy farm. The Animate® App allows you to track urine pH's, bunk space, stocking density, DCAD levels, temperature humidity index (THI), dry matter intake (DMI) and other factors influencing your transition cow performance. It allows you to see trends over time in a graph, as well as easily calculate your cows' average urine pH, standard deviation and coefficient of variance on a particular day. You can also view Phibro's formulation guidelines for close-up rations and calculate THI. This app is designed to be used by dairymen, nutritionists, veterinarians and Phibro employees. If desired, the system will send emails to owners and others associated with the dairy when new information is inputted. Phibro employees will add nutritionists, veterinarians and other farm employees associated with the dairy after they have registered with the app. Animate®, a unique and patented anionic mineral is homogeneous and palatable. It contains chloride, sulfur and magnesium, three critically important macro-minerals necessary for proper mineral formulation of negative DCAD diets. Thoroughly researched and field-tested, Animate® may help reduce the incidence of hypocalcemia, which can have negative effects on health, production and fertility. Because it is highly palatable, Animate® can be fed in a fully acidified program without decreasing dry matter intake, an important consideration when choosing an anionic mineral.
