Pidolin Dairy: Dietaxion’s new solution to secure the start of lactation with targeted calcium nutrition

Calving is one of the most critical moments in a dairy cow's life. As she enters lactation, calcium demand spikes suddenly — and blood calcium levels drop with it. Even when no clinical signs appear, subclinical hypocalcemia can quietly undermine the cow's health and performance for weeks to come.

It's precisely within this critical intervention window that Pidolin Dairy — an innovative solution developed by Dietaxion — offers a new supplementation approach designed to support a strong and healthy start to lactation.

A major challenge at calving

Around calving, the sudden rise in calcium demand causes blood calcium to fall in many cows — often silently, with no visible warning signs. Today, more than 40% of multiparous cows are affected.

The health impact of this silent deficiency shouldn’t be underestimated. Left unaddressed, it can drive:

  • Increased risk of metabolic disorders
  • Lower milk yield
  • Higher culling rates

The period around calving is therefore a decisive window for supporting blood calcium and setting lactation up for success.

Pidolin Dairy’s edge: a pelleted formula built for the start of lactation

Pidolin Dairy contains a guaranteed dose of Pidolin® PCa, backed by proven expertise. Its convenient pelleted form makes it easy to feed across any farming system.

Every 200 g dose delivers 10 g of Pidolin® PCa. Fed at 200 g/day through day 20, Pidolin Dairy fits seamlessly into a strategy to support the start to lactation.

This period of use corresponds precisely to the beginning of lactation, when the cow’s needs are changing fast.

A solution that fits every farm

And it doesn’t stop there: Pidolin Dairy boasts over 95% palatability, making it easy to incorporate into the feed, whatever your setup — milking robot, automatic concentrate feeder, or headlocks. Sold in 20 kg bags, each bag covers the supplementation of 5 cows for 20 days.

Real results, proven on farm

Pidolin Dairy isn’t just a smart formulation — it delivers real, measurable results in the field.

Supplementing with Pidolin PCa boosts milk yield by an average of 3 kg/day in multiparous cows. While also reducing cases of retained placenta.

Pidolin Dairy: the takeaway for a strong start to lactation

Pidolin Dairy is built for herd managers who want to give their cows the best possible start to lactation through smart calcium nutrition. Its pelleted formula, outstanding palatability, and compatibility with every distribution system make it a practical, effective solution for everyday use.

By targeting the critical weeks right after calving, Pidolin Dairy helps secure a strong start to lactation — driving milk production while keeping the effects of subclinical hypocalcemia in check.
