Calf milk replacer PrimeStart™

powder

Product description
Early-life nutrition determines gut development, feed intake patterns and uniformity of growth. Calves receiving low volumes of milk or milk replacer tend to overconsume starter too early, increasing the risk of gut scarring and impaired digestive capacity. Extending the preweaning phase and providing a higher plane of milk replacer helps calves transition gradually to starter feed and supports digestive health.
