Description

Probiotics based on ruminal anaerobic bacteria used to improve feed efficiency in heifers and calves in the initiation stage. The mixture of anaerobic bacteria stimulates the growth and development of the rumen papillae by increasing the degree of nutrient absorption. This allows a weight gain of up to 22% (grams per day) more than what is usually gained and a reduction of up to 15 days in the transition from the monogastric to the ruminant phase, achieving savings in milk consumption by the calf. Furthermore, it also reduces the number of diarrhea episodes between 54 to 63%, leading to savings in diarrhea-associated medications by up to 78%. These effects could be associated with the modulator influence of this microbial inoculum on intestinal flora balance. Adequate nutritional management of the calf, accompanied by good livestock practices to achieve a more significant effect of the product, is recommended.

Application dose and frequency

Take 10 milliliters from the bottle with the help of the syringe and administer in the calf's mouth, allowing the product to pour down into the throat and avoiding possible bronchial aspiration.

It is administered orally and must be supplied in quantities of 10 milliliters for 10 days after the end of the colostrum phase. After the last dose, repeat 10 ml after 15 days and after 30 days.
