Information
Alfalfa 30c for appetite stimulation and milk production in dairy cattle
Good appetite is essential for maintaining health, body condition and milk production throughout the production cycle. When dairy cattle do not consume enough feed, production, performance and recovery may all be affected.
Alfalfa is traditionally used to encourage appetite and support efficient digestion, helping dairy cattle make the most of available nutrition. It may be used alongside balanced feeding programmes and good farm management practices to support overall herd wellbeing.
When might Alfalfa be considered?
Alfalfa is traditionally used where dairy cattle are showing signs associated with:
- Reduced appetite
- Poor feed intake
- Loss of condition
- Nutritional stress
- Reduced milk production
- Digestive upset
- Slow recovery following illness
- Animals not thriving as expected
- Increased nutritional demands
Supporting healthy milk production
Milk production depends on many factors, including nutrition, digestion, energy balance and overall health. Adequate feed intake plays a critical role in supporting peak production throughout lactation.
Alfalfa is traditionally used to support appetite and digestive function, helping dairy cattle maintain nutritional intake during periods of increased demand.
Supporting digestive health
Efficient digestion is important for nutrient absorption, body condition and productivity. Digestive challenges can affect appetite, feed utilisation and performance across all classes of dairy livestock.
Alfalfa may be incorporated into a herd health programme to support normal digestive function and overall vitality.

How to use
All Agripathics remedies are provided in liquid form, as this has proven to be the most practical and effective method of administration across species.
Individual Use:
For optimal absorption, remedies are best applied to a mucus membrane. In dairy cows, this typically means the nose or vulva. During milking, the vulva offers a convenient access point. A suggested approach is to spray 3–4 times per dose, ideally at three intervals: when the cow enters the shed, when cups are put on, and again at cup removal. This spacing allows for a minimum five-minute interval between applications, supporting consistent uptake and response.
For other farm animals, placing the remedy directly into the mouth or via food or water is generally the most effective method.
Group Use:
For herd-wide support, remedies can be added to the water trough. Adding 1–2 capfuls ensures that each animal receives a dose with every drink, allowing for repeated exposure throughout the day.
