BergaLac helps cows to overcome their shortage of energy in the early phase of lactation, enabling the animals to release substances necessary for milk protein synthesis. BergaLac therefore has a positive effect on the performance of dairy cows. When used over longer periods it also increases their fertility. This applies similarly to other ruminants. You will find detailed information on page 6.

The Berg+Schmidt range for animal nutrition

PRODUCT RANGE

Our lipid specialities are of purely vegetable origin. We produce

the fat-powder qualities – without a carrier – at our modern

plant in Malaysia on the basis of selected palm oil fractions.

Like no other process the fractionation of fats makes it possible to produce fat powders with a

precisely adjusted fatty-acid composition. Berg+Schmidt confirmed the superiority of the frac-

broilers in cooperation with the University of Göttingen.
