GLUCOPARS – The Ultimate Glucose Precursor Solution for Transition Dairy Cows
Subacute ketosis is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders affecting dairy cows, especially during the early stages of lactation. According to recent research by G. Cascone et al. (2022), around 40% of dairy cows experience subclinical ketosis at the onset of lactation. This period, often referred to as the transition period, is marked by intense metabolic demands, and if not properly managed, it can lead to serious health complications and economic losses in the herd.
Understanding the Problem: Negative Energy Balance and Ketosis
In the last three weeks of pregnancy and the first few weeks after calving, dairy cows undergo significant metabolic stress. The demand for glucose and energy increases sharply, yet the dry matter intake remains low. This imbalance causes a Negative Energy Balance (NEB), prompting the cow’s body to mobilize fat reserves, leading to an increase in ketone bodies such as Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) and Non-Esterified Fatty Acids (NEFA) in the blood.
If not corrected promptly, this condition results in subclinical or clinical ketosis, poor immune response, reproductive issues, reduced milk production, and increased risk of other disorders such as mastitis, displaced abomasum, and metritis.
The Solution: GLUCOPARS – Your Reliable Partner Against Ketosis
GLUCOPARS is a scientifically formulated glucose precursor supplement designed to increase and stabilize blood glucose levels during the transition period. Its advanced formulation ensures rapid energy availability, effective ketone body reduction, and improved metabolic health in dairy cows.
By using GLUCOPARS, farmers and nutritionists can manage energy deficits effectively and ensure the health and productivity of high-performing dairy cows.
Benefits of GLUCOPARS
GLUCOPARS offers a wide range of benefits specifically targeted to meet the challenges of the transition period in dairy cows:
✅ Prevention of Subclinical and Clinical Ketosis
GLUCOPARS provides fast-acting glucose precursors that directly contribute to elevated blood glucose levels, helping to reduce the concentration of ketone bodies like BHBA. By addressing the root cause of ketosis, GLUCOPARS prevents both subclinical and clinical manifestations of the disease.
✅ Rapid Correction of Negative Energy Balance (NEB)
Thanks to its high-energy components, GLUCOPARS quickly compensates for the energy gap during early lactation, restoring the cow’s energy status and improving overall metabolic health.
✅ Improved Immune System Function
Energy deficiency suppresses the immune response. By supplying readily available glucose, GLUCOPARS enhances the function of immune cells, reducing the risk of infectious diseases like mastitis and metritis.
✅ Boosted Fertility and Reproductive Health
Energy availability is crucial for reproductive performance. GLUCOPARS contributes to hormonal balance and ovarian activity, leading to better estrus expression and improved conception rates.
✅ Enhanced Performance During Heat Stress
Heat stress amplifies the effects of negative energy balance. GLUCOPARS helps cows cope with heat by supplying energy precursors that support normal physiological functions under stress.
✅ Improved Milk Yield and Composition
Better energy status translates into increased milk production, improved milk fat, and protein percentages. GLUCOPARS is a reliable tool for optimizing dairy performance post-calving.
GLUCOPARS Composition – A Synergistic Blend of Glucose Precursors and Metabolic Enhancers
The effectiveness of GLUCOPARS lies in its unique combination of ingredients, each chosen for its role in managing NEB and supporting metabolic processes:
🔹 Propylene Glycol
A well-known glucose precursor, propylene glycol is quickly absorbed and converted into glucose by the liver, reducing ketone body formation and supporting hepatic function.
🔹 Calcium Propionate
Provides both calcium and propionic acid. While calcium supports muscle contractions and metabolic stability, propionic acid is a key substrate for gluconeogenesis, making it vital for energy production.
🔹 Glycerol
Glycerol is rapidly metabolized into glucose and plays a crucial role in energy supply during early lactation, making it an essential component in preventing ketosis.
🔹 Chromium (Cr)
An important trace mineral that improves insulin sensitivity and enhances glucose uptake by body tissues. Chromium helps regulate blood glucose and supports immune and reproductive functions.
🔹 Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin improves lipid metabolism, reduces the mobilization of body fat, and lowers NEFA levels in the blood. It plays a vital role in preventing fatty liver syndrome and supporting liver health.
How GLUCOPARS Works
Mode of Action
1. Increases plasma glucose levels by providing fast-absorbing energy precursors.
2. Reduces ketone bodies (BHBA) and NEFA in the bloodstream.
3. Supports gluconeogenesis and liver function, crucial during early lactation.
4. Improves overall energy balance, promoting better immune response and fertility.
5. Prevents hepatic lipidosis by reducing the need for excessive fat mobilization.
6. Improves feed efficiency and productivity, especially under stress conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ What makes GLUCOPARS different from other glucose precursors?
GLUCOPARS is a multi-component formulation combining fast-acting and sustained-release ingredients, plus metabolic enhancers like chromium and niacin, making it more effective than single-component solutions.
❓ Can GLUCOPARS be used alongside other supplements?
Yes. GLUCOPARS can complement other transition cow supplements such as protected methionine, calcium boluses, or rumen-protected choline, depending on your herd’s needs.
❓ Is GLUCOPARS safe for pregnant cows?
Yes, when used as directed, GLUCOPARS is safe for cows in the prepartum phase and can help improve outcomes in the postpartum period.
