Calf Defender Transition Milk Powder With Biocox And Bio-Start
Britmilk Calf Defender is a transition milk powder designed to be fed after colostrum in the first 7-10 days of a calf’s life before moving on to milk replacer. However it can be used throughout the entire milk feeding period. It is based on 100% all milk protein with the highest quality skim milk powder together with a health package designed to get the calf off to a good healthy start. Calf Defender has a higher oil to protein ratio more closely resembling that of cows milk.
Calf Defender contains high levels of Bio-Start powder which is rich in specific polyclonal antibodies, probiotics and prebiotics. Polyclonal antibodies are designed to protect the gut lining from a range of harmful bacteria and virus. Probiotics/Prebiotics provide beneficial bacteria but also stimulate their growth in order to maintain a healthy balance in the calf`s gut. Calf Defender also contains high levels of mannan-oligosaccharides (derived from yeast cell walls) which have been shown to remove bad bacteria and toxins and in so doing enhance the immune response in the calf. Biocox contains a blend of essential oils with its primary role to control growth of undesirable organisms linked to calf scour and also enhance the immune system.
Suitable for bucket feeding and most automatic feeders NOT requiring a free flowing powder.
