1 Fast track for life.

2 Stay focused on the race. We ll help you avoid pit stops. During each animal s life cycle there can be many unexpected stops and starts along the way. Think of Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition as your pit crew, here to deliver the right advice and the right fuel at the right time. Together we ll get the job done and the race won by focusing on your Animals First. Productivity Always. Think essential omegas. The advantage. is a rich source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Transition cows need EFAs to thrive and stay energized with healthier immune systems, improved uterine health and greater reproductive success. Bypass pit stops: is the only bypass source of both Omega-3 and Omega-6 EFAs. It helps cows stay healthy before, during and after transition by delivering concentrated energy and EFAs directly to the intestine for absorption.1,2,3,4,5,6 Stay on the fast track. provides a rumen-inert energy source with EFAs that help prepare cows for healthier calving, faster recovery and successful subsequent breeding.

3 Next lap: Omega health. Omega-3 and Omega-6 get the job done. Cows cannot naturally produce the Omega-3 and Omega-6 EFAs vital for a healthy immune system, so they must be supplemented in the diet. When fed in combination, these two EFAs aid immune system and uterine health to increase reproductive success and production performance throughout transition. OMEGA-3 WINNING PERFORMANCE OMEGA-3 AND OMEGA-6 ARE THE ONLY EFAs PROVEN IN RESEARCH TO IMPROVE REPRODUCTION Aids production of prostaglandins Fosters embryonic survival Balances functions of Omega-6 CALCIUM SALTS OF FISH OILS (DHA & EPA) ROASTED SOYBEANS, WHOLE COTTONSEED, FLAXSEED TAKES A WRONG TURN HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE FEED INTAKE, MILK PRODUCTION AND COMPONENTS 1,7,8,9 BREAKS DOWN ALTERED IN RUMEN (BIOHYDROGENATE); MOST DO NOT REACH THE INTESTINE FOR ABSORPTION 10 OMEGA-6 Aids production of prostaglandins Promotes ovulation and sperm capacitation Aids in oviduct contraction Maintains embryo development DRIVES OMEGA RESULTS Roasted Soybeans Flaxseed 9 14 MEGALAC Whole Cottonseed Tallow Fish Oil * Omega-6 (18:2 linoleic) Omega-3 (18:3 linolenic) Absorbed Omegas d on 450 G/Day of Fat from Listed Ingredients *Calculated amounts based on CPM Dairy V ,10 ROAD TIP # 1 ROAD TIP # 2 Absorption is the key.

When fed in combination, your herd is on the road to immune health and reproductive success. 2,10

4 Pregnancy wins. Disease loses University research 3,4 compared uterine health and reproductive performance between cows fed MEGALAC Rumen Bypass Fat (control) and cows fed (treatment).

DRIVES PRODUCTION Getting the jobs you must get done right. Cows fed can experience additional performance benefits that can lead to increased on-farm income opportunity: Enhanced visible signs of heat for improved heat detection and conception. 5 Larger, higher-quality embryos. 4 Fewer days to first service, services per conception and days open. 3 Improved pregnancy maintenance for fewer abortions. (P=<0.10). 5 Higher cumulative pregnancies. 3 Fewer postcalving disorders such as milk fevers, DAs and RPs. 5,12 Improved pregnancies at 126 DIM compared to herd historical and the control group. 4

5 It doesn t pay to run on empty. Nutritional intervention is less costly than treatment. The financial impact of postpartum diseases like metritis is significant. For example, one case of metritis is estimated to cost up to $354, and metritis can affect as much as 20% of the herd. 13 Uterine infections also can lead to reproductive challenges, including greater days open and lower pregnancy rates. 13 helps improve immune function, driving successful reproduction and minimizing the threat of postpartum metabolic issues. Metritis: avoid this road expense. Early culling... $71 Lost milk... $77 Treatment costs... $58 $108 Breeding problems... $98 TOTAL PER CASE... $ Take the fast track to increased production. A University of Florida trial 14 evaluated the impact of different fat sources on early-lactation cow performance. MILK PRODUCTION IMPROVEMENT MILK FAT IMPROVEMENT 110 Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA) 4 Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA) Lbs./Day Percent (%) % 3.54% Milk Production Fat-Corrected Milk Production group produced 7.27 lbs. more than the SFA group. 2 Milk Fat Milk fat percent was higher in the group at 3.70% compared to 3.54% in the SFA group. group increased fat-corrected milk production by 8.82 lbs. when compared to the SFA group.

6 The race results are in: productivity wins. Multiple on-farm demonstrations conducted on geographically diverse dairies proved 6 the value can deliver. Immune function improvements: Somatic Cell Score (1st Linear Score) decreased significantly in every herd. Early Embryonic Death (EED) reduced across all five herds. Beta-Hydroxybutyric Acid (BHBA) measure associated with increased risk of metabolic issues had a 44% reduction in one herd where it was measured. Milk production improvements: First 305-day projected milk (lbs.) improved in three of the five herds that reported it. Milk was not recorded in two of the five herds. Reproduction improvements: Conception rate improved from 7% 15% across herds. Pregnancy rate increased from 7% 16% across herds. Net profit increased on all dairies, ranging from $28 to $248 per cow per year based on these performance improvements.

Three weeks prepartum feed 0.25 lbs. to 0.33 lbs. per day or 1.1 to 1.3% of ration dry matter. Postpartum through confirmed pregnancy feed 0.75 lbs. to 1 lb. per day or 1.5 to 1.8% of ration dry matter.
