WHY BIOSTART CALF?

BioStart Calf prebiotic is a concentrated blend of rennet and prebiotic ingredients including the enzymes and extracts from the fermentation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. BioStart Calf aids in the full utilisation of liquid feeds, early rumen development as well as promoting the establishment of beneficial probiotic microbes in the calf’s digestive system.

IMPROVE COLOSTRUM MANAGEMENT

Best practices for improving colostrum quality include: vaccinations and transition lead feeding in pre-calving cows, clean collection and storage of first colostrum, colostrum testing, adequate intake to
newborn calves within 12 hours of birth.

BioStart Calf is a practical and cost-effective nutritional tool which ensures calves get the most out of best
colostrum management and practices. Adding BioStart Calf to first colostrum feeds ensures a firm curd,
improved colostrum digestion and the release of antibodies for passive immunity transfer.

RENNET

Australian research (Gregory 2003) demonstrated that the level of rennet activity that causes the milk to clot
(curd) in the newborn calf is highly variable. Weak curd formulation is frequently seen in young calves and
can be the corrected by the addition of rennet to milk.

BioStart Calf rennet enzyme additive turns colostrum or milk into a firm curd in the abomasum – the critical
phase of casein digestion. This slows the milk’s passage through the digestive track which aids digestion of
all milk nutrients.

BENEFITS

• Application – easy to administer; convenient liquid formulation.
• Performance – aids in the utilization of liquid feeds and early rumen development.
• Price – exceptional value versus commercial colostrum supplements.
