The
key to maximum performance in young calves is to get them
eating as soon as possible, especially in stress situations
such as weaning or receiving.
Energy and protein needs are the first nutrients to become
depleted in a nutritionally stressed calf. Both protein
quantity and quality have a dramatic effect on consumption.
Starting a calf on All Natural Protein offers a highly
palatable feedstuff that gets the calf eating immediately.
By doing this, we are able to reactivate the rumen microflora,
thereby stimulating appetite and jump starting the calf.
Water loss in the digestive tract and cells of the body
and the reduced ability of the immune system to combat
pathogen attacks, make the calf a prime target for disease
during times of stress. Virtually all minerals and vitamins,
some of which are listed to the right, are essential to
the stressed calf.

•Selenium,
copper, and zince to maintain a strong immune system
needed to fight infectious disease.
•Potassium
is required to replenish critical cellular deficiencies
caused by low intake or depravation of water
• B- Vitamins to enhance reactivation of rumen fermentation.
• Vitamins A, D, & E for cellular membrane protection. |
