Nutritech is going from great to even better with a new and improved DanCalf® Gold milk additive this season.
With the spring calving season shortly upon us, it’s a reminder of the stress of rearing calves especially when we get sick, scouring calves. While using whole milk to feed calves is convenient, it can be useful to add a milk additive like Dancalf® Gold to minimise the risk of these issues occurring.
DanCalf® Gold is the premium calf milk additive in the market, containing vitamins, trace minerals, prebiotic, probiotics and coccidiostat.
Using research from Lallemand Animal Nutrition, a world leader in yeast and bacteria, Nutritech has included YANG® (Yeast Associated New Generation), a multi-strain yeast derivative formulated to strengthen animals’ natural defences with a patented, synergistic effect on the immune response. Calves fed YANG® show less diarrhoea cases, shorter duration of scouring, less respiratory disease and less antibiotic treatments (Villot et al 2022). Overall calves show improved immune responses. YANG® also mixes better – so no residue floating on the milk!
DanCalf® Gold still contains the patented probiotic live yeast, Levucell® SB but has now been boosted with the addition of BACTOCELL® probiotic bacteria for gut health. BACTOCELL® has been used as a probiotic for more than 25 years in animal nutrition and can also improve the hygiene of liquid feed, reducing the load of undesirable bacteria.
The first 10 weeks of a calf’s life is critical in terms of lifetime performance and productivity. DanCalf® Gold can be used as part of the health plan to rear strong, healthy calves with a strong immune system.
