Feeding of the replacements is aimed at reaching the necessary liveweight by 14 to 16 months, acceleration of the forestomach work and fertilization of the heifer. An increase in the term of growing calves causes fatty degeneration of the udder parenchyma, a decrease in their future productivity and high costs for obtaining a cow.

When organizing a complete feeding of young cattle, special attention should be paid to the provision of energy and protein.

High-energy diets deficient in protein lead to fatty degeneration of the glandular tissue of the udder which results in decrease of the future milk production of the animal.

Possible issues

  • Low consumption of fibrous feed.

  • Low or high daily average weight gain in young cattle.

  • Low heifers fertility rate.

Solution in feeding optimisation

  • FEKORD-2012-F is a universal enzyme biocomplex able to destroy major antinutrients and increase feed digestion (energy, protein, amino acids, phosphorus, etc.) It is used to optimize the ruminal digestion and increase the average daily weight gain. To be used with complete food at a dose of 1 kg per ton.

  • GUMINOBIOTIC is a powerful immunomodulator agent based on humin acids. It contributes to the decrease in the number of diseases and promotes resistance of the body through increased production of endogenous interferon.  To be applied with milk or milk replacer at a dose of 2 to 6 liters per ton.    
  • DIATOKS-ULTRA is a mycotoxins sorbent (yeast cell walls, tripoli, activated sapropel) providing a high level of protection against mycotoxins and causal agents. To be used with complete food at a dose of 1 to 2 kg per ton.

  • TETRABIOTIC-SPK is a probiotic (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis и Enterococcus faecallis). It is used for ruminal digestion optimisation, prophylaxis of gastrointestinal diseases, replaces antibiotics. To be applied with complete food at a dose of 0,5 kg per ton.

Results of feeding programme application:

  • Increased average daily gain in weight by 11.8%

  • Reduction of feed costs by 9.7%

  • Decrease in calves morbidity by 42.7%

  • Reduction of veterinary costs by 24%.
