Key Benefits:
-
Medicated Coccidiosis Protection: Formulated with Bovatec® (Lasalocid) to actively aid in the control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii in replacement calves.
-
Accelerated 24/20 Macronutrient Core: Packed with an elevated 24% crude protein level paired with 20% crude fat to satisfy early skeletal growth demands, supporting rapid frame development and excellent cold-weather stamina.
Feeding Instructions:
-
Reconstitution Base Rate: Feed the reconstituted milk replacer at a rate of 2 quarts per 100 pounds of body weight twice daily.
-
Large Breed Calves: Generally require 2 to 2-1/2 quarts per feeding, administered twice daily.
-
Smaller Breed Calves: May need 1-1/2 to 2 quarts per feeding, administered twice daily.
Management Suggestions:
-
Mixing Technique: For best mixing results, sprinkle the milk replacer powder onto the water. Use a wire whisk or mechanical agitation to ensure a smooth, complete mix.
-
Timing: Feed the reconstituted milk replacer shortly after mixing.
-
Sanitation: Feeding and mixing equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each use.
-
Hydration Availability: Clean, fresh water should be available to calves at all times.
-
Early Solid Feed: Calves should have free-choice access to a quality, texturized feed after 4 days of age to stimulate rumen development.
-
Forage Restriction: Hay should not be offered until after calves are fully weaned to encourage optimal starter intake and proper rumen papillae growth.
-
Weaning Criteria: Safely wean calves when they are consistently consuming 1-1/2 pounds of starter feed per day for 3 consecutive days.
