Downland Supreme Calf Milk Replacer 20kg

Description

An excellent whey based calf milk replacer. Downland Supreme Calf Milk Replacer An abundance of milk protein and omega 3 for better calf health With the increase of production of specialist whey powders for baby food and sport drinks whey protein has become expensive and is often replaced by plant protein in economy milk replacers. Plant protein work best in older calves (three weeks plus) but needs to be limited in young calves diets. Omega 3 plant oils By including five different plant oils, instead of just the standard vegetable oil (palm oil) found in most calf milks calves will receive higher levels of digestible energy. These oils have also been shown to reduce calf rectal temperatures during infection, an indicator of higher health status. Finally the use of five plant oils reduces the time required to digest the oil in the calf encouraging higher intakes of dry feed. Calves fed this oil blend tend to be weaned quicker saving £3-5 per calf reared. Flavours, sweeteners and anti scour agents Downland Supreme is about attention to detail. Adding the right flavour and natural sweeteners encourages calves to consume their milk and improves digestion as the calf’s digestive system will be primed for receiving nutrients prior to the calf being fed. The addition of organic acids, yeast products and egg proteins makes the calf digestive system a more inhospitable place for bacteria, speeds up the calf’s immune response to infection and targets specific scour causing agents in the intestine. Mixing and feeding. Downland Supreme is made using evaporated milk that is spray dried to ensure quick mixing and ease of digestion. We recommend using clean feeding utensils. Feed according to the instructions on the back of the bag. When temperatures during the day fall below 10°C in wet, damp weather and 5°C during cold, dry weather offer calves an extra 50-75g milk powder per feed. There is no need to increase the volume of liquid fed.
