Dissolve the correct weight of powder in ¾ of the amount of warm water, then add more warm or cold water to achieve 40°C. Ensure thorough mixing of powder in warm water. Forage: Fresh, clean straw should be offered at all times to encourage concentrate intake and rumen development. Concentrates: For early rumen development and weaning it is important to offer a specialist dry feed from 4 days of age. The VITA calf starter products are all carefully formulated to encourage rumen development. Weaning: Calves should be weaned when eating 2kg of VITA calf dry feed on 3 consecutive days and are seen to be cudding. Cold Weather: During periods of cold weather, calves should be offered more powder and milk.

The two main diseases that account for over 70% of calf losses are: 1) Calf Scour (diarrhoea) 2) Pneumonia (respiratory) Healthier calves: Calf health is central to VITAMILK Premium and because of this, we have developed Care. This is a package of natural ingredients which supports the disease resistance of the calf and helps to prevent additional infections. Care has been formulated to maximise calf health and growth in the first 60 days.
