And more importantly, why you should be paying attention to them.
At Sollio, our milk replacer formulas are developed to meet high-quality standards, because we know how critical the calf-rearing period is for your future dairy cows.
Here’s what goes into a quality milk replacer from Sollio Agriculture:
- 100% dairy-based proteins, recognized for their excellent digestibility in young calves;
- Quality fats from both animal and vegetable sources to meet energy requirements;
- Butyrate, which stimulates the development of the rumen papillae and prepares the young heifer to become a ruminant;
- Organic selenium and a mineral and vitamin complex that help build a strong immune system;
- A probiotic that ensures beneficial bacteria remain dominant in the intestinal flora;
- A prebiotic that supports digestion and acts as a decoy against pathogens crossing the intestinal barrier;
- A unique oleoactive complex backed by solid research. These essential oils stimulate intake and support gut health;
- Soluble ingredients that deliver a consistent, uniform mix.
You’ll find all of these ingredients in the Goliath 27-16 and Goliath 24-17 formulas.
What’s more, the service and advice you need for your herd come right to your door.
Have you calculated what the fall incentive days are worth to your operation? Using a quality milk replacer pays off across the board: you give your calves the best possible start in terms of growth and health, and you put your herd in a position to fill those days and grow your monthly income.
