Calf 12 Milk-Bits™

Using Milk-Bits Calf milk replacer pellets in your feeding program:

• You can get the calves to start ruminating at an earlier age.

• You will save on the cost of feed because milk replacers or whole milk are more expensive to feed than feeds after weaning.

• Labor requirements are less for calves after weaning than before.

• Calf health is better, with fewer digestive diseases after weaning than before.

No Weaning Stress

• milk pellets eliminates weaning trauma and reduced weight loss that is often associated with liquid milk or milk replacers

Economical

• less milk and more starter grains results in more economical rations

• cost effective - feed costs are reduced

• milk and milk replacers represent higher costs than dry starter feeds

• low investment, no equipment, no expensive changes to present setup

Healthier Calves

• stimulates the development of the rumen as early as 3 days of life

• helps to develop a functioning rumen capable of handling starter grains at an earlier age for better weight gains

• Calves have feed in front of them at all times, eating little, often, as nature intended, instead of large quantities at specific feedings.

• Calves have a lessened incidence of scours when they are consuming a milk pellet / grain ration. They become more content and concentrate on growing. They develop good frames with a growthy appearance.

No Mess

• no spilled milk, messy milk pails, mixing apparatus and feeding devices to clean or work with after the first 2 weeks.

Saves Time - Saves Labor

• Feed the calf only once daily after weaning from milk replacer at two weeks. No more calves bunting at the pail and no more "spilled milk". This could give the farmer more time to monitor the health or do other chores with the calves.

• put labor to better use

• ease of handling milk products

Early Weaning

From birth to weaning is the most expensive, labor intense and the most difficult stage in the raising of a calf.

Good management is often the most critical stage of raising a calf while consuming liquid milk or milk replacers, with weaning a calf being the next critical stage. Calves fed Milk-Bits milk pellets can be weaned off liquid milk at 2 weeks of age reducing these critical stages.

Conditioning

Provide extra nutrition during periods of illness or below normal consumption.

Milk-Bits calf pellets are an excellent conditioner for cows during gestation and lactation periods.

Weaning

Top dressing starter rations with Milk-Bits milk pellets before and after weaning helps reduce post weaning stress.

Supplementing

Provide excellent supplemental nutrition with Milk-Bits calf milk replacer pellets to the pre-weaned calf in your regular feed program as an introduction to the calf's first dry feed.

Milk-Bits calf pellets provide an easy and effective way to assure adequate nutrition in cases where the milk production of the dam is insufficient (i.e., beef calves).

Milk-Bits milk replacer pellets used as a supplement provides greater feed efficiency by the high levels of milk protein and spray dried animal fat than with supplements containing grains and roughage that are high in fibre. Fibres should be obtained through grain and roughage rations, not in a supplement where it is costly.
