Calf Milk Replacer
Best start for your calves
Best start for your calves
Effective calf rearing is pivotal in securing a productive future for your farm. A healthy start not only reduces calf mortality but also enhances their long-term productivity. Investing in the right nutrition during the first few weeks helps ensure earlier maturity and increased milk yield when the calf becomes a heifer.
Calf Milk Replacer (CMR)
The De Heus Calf Milk Replacer is engineered to mimic the nutrient profile of natural milk, enriched with essential vitamins and minerals that promote rapid, healthy growth. It aims to deliver a high protein-to-energy balance, ensuring optimal digestive health and immune function in young calves.
By using De Heus CMR, calves can be weaned at an earlier stage, which reduces the dependency on expensive whole milk and promotes efficient growth rates.
Benefits of CMR
De Heus Calf Milk Replacer is designed with a focus on the specific needs of calves during their early development. The product offers several key advantages:
- Improved calf health
- Lower rearing costs
- Healthy, well-developed cows
- Reduced age at first calving
- Higher lifetime milk production
Instructions of preparing calf milk replacer
Beyond the standard procedure of heating water and mixing powder, consistency in preparation is crucial. Here's why:
-
- Equipment Hygiene: Prevent cross-contamination by thoroughly disinfecting all equipment after each feed. Bacteria can thrive in milk residue, so sanitation ensures the calves stay healthy.
- Correct Mixing: Undissolved powder can lead to digestive issues or uneven nutrient intake. Stirring continuously ensures uniform dispersion of nutrients.
- Temperature Control: Pouring milk at the correct temperature encourages proper digestion and avoids cold-induced health issues in young calves.
