Advantages of feeding Milk Replacer

• Performance: Excellent performance is guaranteed by carefully formulating a unique blend of highly digestible refined milk products. Quality raw material selection is essential for optimum performance.
• High Quality Protein: The correct balance of proteins is ensured by formulating to exacting amino acid constraints. Lysine and Methionine levels are maximised for efficient live weight gains and calf health.
• Energy Balance: A specialised blend of oils are used for maximum digestibility and nutrient uptake. The blend of energy sources used ensures that the calf gets the correct type and amount of energy required.
• Essential Vitamin Health Factors: High levels of Vitamins A, D and E are included to optimise the immune status. High levels of Vitamin E are essential for muscle development. Minerals and Trace Elements Research has identified the positive effects of formulating a specific mineral and trace element balance. Selenium, Copper and Zinc are critical for enhanced performance and disease resistance. Specialised Performance and Heath Boosters Gardion, garlic essential oil improves general disease resistance and performance. Butyrate helps to develop the calf’s metabolism, digestive and absorption system while encouraging early solid food intake. Uniformity and Consistency Mixes easily, producing an extremely creamy and palatable milk feed. Free flowing and easy to digest.

Mixing

When mixing calf milk replacer, accurate weighing is strongly advised as nutrient absorption is driven by the relativity of osmotic balance at either side of the gut wall. Temperature is important for solubility and also to stimulate the suckling reflex in young calves. Always follow instructions carefully. Introduce abruptly, rather than mixing with cow’s milk. Long clean roughage and clean water should be available at all times. Introduce GAIN Startacalf Muesli from 7 days of age and GAIN Calf Crunch or GAIN Goldgrain Calf Nuts can be introduced when calves are eating at least 250 grams/head/day. Weaning can take place when calves are consistently eating greater than 1kg per animal per day or 1.5kg, if group fed. As a general rule calves should be twice their birth weight at weaning.
