Premium Calf Milk Replacer

A good curding and highly digestible calf milk replacer that has been formulated to meet young calves nutritional requirements from 4 days of age. A blend of New Zealand sourced natural casein milk powders (whole milk, skim milk and butter milk) fortified with vitamins and minerals, including a free flow agent and a Coccidiostat which aids in the prevention of Coccidiosis.

TYPICAL ANALYSIS:

Protein	26%
Fat	20%
Lactose	41%
Minerals	8%
Moisture	3%
ME	20 MJ/kg

NOTES:

Store powder airtight in a cool dry place away from light
Cleanliness and hygiene of mixing and feeding equipment is vital to good calf health
Mix powder prior to feeding, not the night before as settling may occur
Eliminate stress by providing adequate shelter and a fresh clean water supply
Provide good quality hay and meal from 10 days of age to encourage rumen development

TWICE A DAY GUIDELINES:

Typically fed in the morning and evening with an 8 hour elapse between feeds
Mix 125g of CMR per litre of warm water (37°C)
One 20kg bag of CMR makes 180 litres of milk

Age	Volume (125g CMR/litre)
0 – 4 days	Colostrum fed ad-lib
5 – 10 days	2.0 litres twice a day
11 – 21 days	2.5 litres twice a day
22 days +	3.0 litres twice a day

ONCE A DAY GUIDELINES:

Age	Volume per Feed
0 – 4 days	Colostrum fed ad-lib
5 – 10 days	200g in 1.0 litre twice a day
11 – 21 days	500g in 2.5 litres once a day
22 days +	600g in 3.0 litres once a day

Recommended Feeding Program

Happy Calf 20%
Introduce Happy Calf 20% as early as possible, offering as much as can be consumed within 24 hours, discard any stale uneaten feed. Weaning from milk can take place when calves are consuming at least 1-1.5kg of meal per day over three consecutive days.

Happy Calf 16%
It is recommended that Happy Calf 16% is offered to calves once put to pasture at a rate of 1.5kg reducing to 0.5kg per day at 12 weeks. This will maintain growth rates and provide continued protection against coccidiosis.

Access to Fresh water and a source of quality hay or straw is essential at all times

CAUTION
Seeds & Cereals Calf Meals contain the coccisio-state Bovatec.
Do not allow dogs, horses or other equids access to feed containing Bovatec, ingestion by these species may be fatal.
Bovatec is registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997 No AO 9679
Do not feed with other ionophores e.g. Monensin capsules, liquid or premix

Calf Meal

The Objective
It has been shown that milk bypasses a calf’s rumen therefore development of the rumen is slow so it must be fed a starter meal separately from the milk to go to the rumen. Feeding a calf starter meal is to develop a calf’s rumen or more specifically the papillae (finger-like projections on the surface of the rumen) that absorb nutrients from the rumen contents. The earlier and quicker the rumen papillae develop, the more nutrients can be absorbed, the faster the calf grows, and the sooner it can be weaned. It is recommended that a weaner meal is offered to calves once put to pasture this will maintain growth rates and provide continued protection against coccidiosis.

Grain
Microbes breakdown concentrates in the rumen and research has shown that the fatty acid butyrate made by the microbes from the breakdown of a starter meal that contains a concentrate like grain is the most potent stimulator of rumen papillae development.

Fibre
A quality source of fiber like hay or straw is important for quick rumen development because it will prevent parakeratosis. Parakeratosis is a buildup of excessive karatin (fibourous protein) on the surface of the papillae which effectively covers the absorptive sites and reduces their ability to absorb nutrients. The physical abrasion of the fiber will prevent the buildup of karatin on the papillae.

Water
Access to plenty of fresh water is essential for rumen development, remember milk bypasses the rumen and so does any potential moisture, if a calf is receiving starter meal which is heading for the rumen then it is essential that it is accompanied by moisture for proper function.

Bovatec
Bovatec is a feed additive that controls coccidiosis this is a parasitic disease usually affecting young calves aged 3-8 months and in some cases as early as 4 weeks of age. The disease causes calves to become sick, some may die and surviving animals can have long term intestine problems causing ill thrift and poor growth.
