“180 calves are reared per annum using Calf Gold with Natureboost, of which some are heifer replacement and some beef calves finished for a supermarket, hitting target specifications ten weeks sooner.
The switch to Calf Gold + Nature boost has exceeded the performance achieved with our previous whey-based powder. Using Calf Gold has made the transition onto milk powder much easier and enabled us to increase powder intakes without the scour issues we had before.
The calves appear much more robust and less delicate during the transition after they arrive on the farm. At weaning the calves are noticeably heavier and healthier which means they have grown and performed much better having received an excellent milk powder. The investment is more than repaid with bigger, healthier calves”.
