Fresh cows have a perfect meal prepared for their newborn calves the minute they hit the ground. Their first-milking colostrum provides all the right ingredients to promote optimal gastrointestinal tract development, jump-start the calf’s metabolism, and support the immune system.

The beef and dairy industries are becoming more closely aligned than ever, thanks to the widespread adoption of beef-on-dairy breeding.

What if you could give your calves a feed additive that improved their health, helped them gain more weight in the first weeks of life, and didn’t add any appreciable cost to your input budget?

If there’s one, single “secret” to raising healthy calves, it’s the timely delivery of high-quality colostrum to every one of them. We’re still learning about all the “goodies” colostrum delivers. A lot of emphasis is placed on immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, because they can be measured on-farm.
