Prequel 21 with Omega-6 Technology is a calcium salt of linoleic (Omega-6) fatty acids. It provides the essential fatty acids that support normal recovery from freshening and return to faster heats, while also providing extra energy needed to have a sparing effect on liver metabolism of fat from the cow. This can reduce the NEFA levels in the cow (Overton). Various research at the University of Florida suggests linoleic acid can help cycle the cow sooner and prepare her for breeding.

From Fat to Fatty Acids in Transition Cows
In the past, there has been some debate on the value of feeding fats to transition cows. Despite the need for additional energy required in this time period, it was felt that fats would adversely affect intake at a time when the cow needed energy the most. Recent transition studies suggest that feeding even hydrogenated fats can improve milk production and reduce days open. Certain fatty acids, specifically omega 6 fatty acids, have been shown in research to have specific improvements for transition cows.

A paradigm shift is taking place.We have changed our thinking from fat, to fatty acids and there are specific fatty acids that can benefit the transition cow. We need to feed targeted fatty acids to the transition cow.

Start your cows out right in transition, as this is THE critical time for a cow. Prequel 21 provides essential energy and fatty acids that helps a cow’s performance.
