2. CIENCE IOMLÁN ANIMAL SCIENCE Calf Calves are exposed to a number of stresses in the first few weeks of life when their immune system is still developing. BioStart Calf contains a concentrated blend of enzymes and secondary metabolites from the fermentation of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus thermophilus. BioStart Calf aids in the full utilization of liquid feeds and early rumen development. Key features: Stimulates immune system. Easy to use & palatable. No withholding period. Boosts early rumen function. Contains rennet to increase milk digestion thereby reducing the likelihood of nutritional scours.

3. CIENCE IOMLÁN ANIMAL SCIENCE Calf The biological calf health goals of calf rearing are to: Establish beneficial gastrointestinal microflora. The first microbes to establish in the gastrointestinal system of a calf (from colostrum) stay with that animal for the rest of its life. The right microbes will fight disease-causing organisms and reduce stress on the immune system. Set up the calves immune system. This is important over the first 21 days while the immune system is still developing. Minimise scouring.

Calves on milk replacer Mix with whole milk or milk replacer at the rate of 1ml per head per feed for the first 3-4 weeks. Once BioStart Calf has been added to milk, feed within 20 minutes. Brought in calvesAdminister an oral dose of 2ml per head before or after transportation.
