Description
Synthetic analogue of the maternal bovine appeasing substance (MBAS) for topical use in healthy cattle to mitigate the detrimental effects of stress.
MBAS is naturally secreted by the sebaceous gland located on the skin of the mammary gland with the unique function of inducing an appeasing effect on the nursing offspring. The active ingredient (MBAS) is assimilated by the vomeronasal gland located in the nose of the animals. The MBAS stimulation of the vomeronasal gland desensitizes regions of the amygdala and the hypothalamus, dramatically decreasing threat perception and its downstream stress consequences.
In a threatening situation, the amygdala and areas of the hypothalamus are overstimulated and will trigger short- and long-term physiological changes. Under current farming conditions, threat perception serves little to no purpose. Fear leads to stress and eventually to increased morbidity and mortality, and lost productivity.
Reduced threat perception can lead to reduced flight zones, lower levels of cortisol, lower inflammation, lower morbidity and mortality, and increased weight gain. FerAppease can and should be used every time animals are exposed to management and physiological stressors such as weaning, dehorning, branding, transportation, commingling, vaccination, parturition, dry off and breeding.
