Behind most health and performance issues in modern dairy herds lies one root cause: oxidative stress (OS), an internal imbalance that damages cells, weakens immunity, and lowers fertility. Oxyntra, developed by Kalium Agri, targets OS at its source. Its combination of potassium carbonate sesquihydrate (KCS) and chelated magnesium boosts rumen butyrate production and enhances mineral absorption, strengthening cow health from the inside out. The result: fewer diseases, better feed utilization, and longer-lasting productivity.
Butyrate Boost: Stimulates the cow’s natural production of butyrate, reducing inflammation, repairing gut cells, and supporting antioxidant enzymes.
Chelated Magnesium: Enhances enzyme activity, improving immune defense and mineral balance.
Together, these nutrients create a healthier rumen environment that promotes stability, resilience, and higher lifetime performance.
Oxidative stress intensifies during calving, heat, and high production, disrupting multiple systems at once. Oxyntra reduces OS by 10–30%, improving overall cow health and reducing mortality.
The Problem: OS weakens the gut barrier, causing “leaky gut” and hemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS).
The Solution: Butyrate restores gut integrity and reduces inflammation; magnesium supports repair.
Result: Leaky gut ↓ 20–30%, HBS ↓ 10–15%, mortality ↓ 5–10%.
The Problem: OS damages milk-producing cells, reducing output and increasing mastitis.
The Solution: Oxyntra protects mammary tissue and boosts antioxidant activity.
Result: Mastitis ↓ 10–20%, milk yield ↑ 5–15%.
The Problem: OS interferes with hormones and embryo development.
The Solution: Improves hormone balance and reproductive efficiency.
Result: Conception ↑ 10–15%, calving intervals ↓ 20–30 days.
The Problem: Chronic OS suppresses immune response, leading to disease and early culling.
The Solution: Strengthens antioxidant systems, reducing infection and improving recovery.
Result: Morbidity ↓ 10–20%, mortality ↓ 5–15%, herd longevity ↑.
Table 1: Health System Improvements with Oxyntra
Butyrate is one of the rumen’s most valuable molecules, it fuels intestinal cells, activates antioxidant enzymes, and regulates inflammation. Yet today’s high-yield cows often don’t produce enough of it. Oxyntra naturally increases butyrate while ensuring magnesium supports the body’s defense system. The synergy between these nutrients helps cows maintain equilibrium even under metabolic stress.
Healthier cows mean fewer treatments, lower culling, and greater consistency. Farms using Oxyntra can see returns of $3–$10 for every $1 invested, with typical savings of $500–$1,500 per cow annually through improved health and reduced losses.
Oxyntra is redefining dairy cow health through science-based nutrition. By reducing oxidative stress and strengthening natural defenses, it creates healthier, longer-lasting cows, laying the foundation for sustainable, profitable dairy production.
