Cuxavit Beta Carotene

Cuxavit Beta Carotene is the precursor of vitamin A, which is essential for many physiological functions in the body, such as vision, epithelial membrane development, fertility, embryonic development and the immune system. Regardless of its role as a pro-vitamin A, β-carotene has an important impact on fertility, including by stimulating progesterone synthesis. In addition, β-carotene protects the embryo from damage caused by free radicals thanks to its antioxidant effect.

Product Highlight

Even with an adequate supply of vitamin A, a β-carotene deficiency can lead to serious fertility problems and a weakened immune response. The β-carotene content in fresh grass is very variable and decreases significantly during ensiling. Corn silage, hay and straw are also not good sources of β-carotene. That is why regular supplementary feeding is essential, especially in the case of silage-heavy rations or during the winter.
