Britmilk milk replacers are the result of many years expertise and experience coupled with the constant aim of producing the finest milk products to feed to young calves and lambs.
Rearing calves successfully is probably the most difficult enterprise on any dairy farm or specialist calf rearing unit.
Britmilk Calf milk replacers are formulated to produce low osmolarity powders. Quality oils/fats are fully homogenised, this is when liquid fats/oils are mixed with low heat skim or whey to create fat molecules of less than 2 microns in diameter which are then encapsulated in milk solids and spray dried at low temperature. This process results in less free fat in calf milk and leads to greater digestibility.
All Britmilk calf milk powders contain the health package Bio-Start which contains probiotics to seed the gut with beneficial bacteria.Pprebiotics in the form of live yeast and yeast derived mannan sugars mop up pathogenic bacteria and viruses and absorb mycotoxins. Specific proteins are present which help to prevent bad bacteria and viruses from attaching to the gut lining and thus reducing damage and leading to improved feed efficiency.
Bio-Fat E: Esterified short chain fatty acids replicating the fatty acid profile of cows milk. SCFA have anti-bacterial properties and also help to enhance the development of gut villi for better nutrient absorption with improved feed efficiency
Many of our calf milk powders contain Biocox as standard and with some it is a option. Biocox is a blend of essential oils and plant extracts with its primary role to control the growth of undesirable organism and also enhance the immune system.
Additionally many of our milks contain Nature-Boost as standard. Nature-Boost is a complex combination of natural products to stimulate the immune system to help fight disease. It helps to open the airways for removal of harmful bacteria from the lungs. It also increases the inhibition of harmful bacteria within the gut and airways.
Calf Defender is an ENERGISED 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 low heat 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.
