Description
Why add more fat and not increase protein for a premium milk replacer? Research has shown that there is a ceiling limit on the efficiency of protein utilization in calves. This begins around five to six weeks of age.
Protein is still essential to meet requirements (22% or more) for proper development and early nutritional programming. The level of protein provided by Achieve™ surpasses daily requirements and provides additional protein for lean growth at a balanced level to preserve feed efficiency and utilization.
The increased fat levels in Achieve™ provide calves with more calories per meal and a readily available source of energy. This is critical for situations when additional energy reserves are needed for maintenance, without sacrificing lean growth development.

The Fat & Calf Starter Myth
There’s a commonly preconceived idea that if calves are fed a higher fat diet, calf starter consumption will decrease and a post weaning growth lag will occur.
- Calves trialed at the Grober Young Animal Development Center had no significant difference with grain intake when fed Achieve™ vs a standard Grober milk replacer.
- Total grain intake at 11 weeks for calves fed Achieve™ was 58.1kg vs calves fed a standard Grober milk replacer was 59.1kg.
- What does this mean? Calves with higher energy intake through milk replacer did not experience a growth lag post weaning. Myth busted!
Nutrient Dense
Opportunities outweigh the problems when it comes to providing calves a nutrient dense milk replacer for the first 21 days. With lasting effects until weaning.
Noted differences were; reduced scour severity and treatments for calves fed a nutrient dense milk replacer like Achieve™ (50% reduction, 2015). At weaning these calves also weighed heavier and starter intake was not effected.
Choosing a nutrient dense milk replacer increases energy provision by 4 – 8% when compared to other standard Grober milk replacers
