Calf Programs Weaning Receiving

During stress situations, such as weaning and receiving, several problems occur which can seriously detract from your profitability. Excessive shrink, health problems resulting in repulling and treating calves, and even death are brought on by the calf simply refusing to eat and thereby failing to absorb the nutrients necessary to get him over the stress situation.

Anipro/Xtraformance Feeds' Weaning & Receiving Program is specifically designed to rapidly restore depleted nutrients and get stressed calves on feed faster thereby minimizing stress-related problems. Specific scientific research on the needs of young calves is drawn upon to ensure that the best ingredients are used to meet the requirements of young, stressed calves.

A calf's rumen is easily disrupted during periods of environmental, nutritional, and physiological stress; so rumen fermentation, feed consumption and overall health can be severely affected. Providing a diet that rapidly restores feed consumption and nutrient balance enhances performance and profitability for the cattleman.
