Healthier calves:
Calf health is central to VITAMILK Classic and because of this, we have developed Care. This is a package of natural ingredients which supports the disease resistance of the calf and helps to prevent additional infections. Care has been formulated to maximise calf health and growth in the first 60 days.
Calf Health:
Young calves are vulnerable to infection and disease from birth up to 60 days. The two main diseases that account for over 70% of calf losses are: 1) Calf Scour (diarrhoea) 2) Pneumonia (respiratory) Calf losses can be reduced through good management and correct nutrition. This is especially important in the newborn calf when immunity is at its lowest. Ensuring adequate colostrum and milk powder intake is vital for health and performance.
