What is Calf Aid?

December 17, 2014 By mcc

Northern Ireland farmers have been using Calf Aid to help their calves. Calves get a boost to their immune system with Calf Aid. The Farming Life recently shared this report from Northern Ireland farmer John Little.

Calf Aid is specifically for calves, to:

  • Instantly Support the emerging immune system
  • Preventing disease and reducing the incidence of scour
  • Aid growth rates
  • Boost appetite
  • Aid the natural management of immunity and Coccidiosis
  • Aid the natural management of Cryptosporidium

“I am very aware of the fact that problems such as Crypto and Coccidiosis are now becoming major problems on farms right across Northern Ireland. And these conditions are adding to the more traditional disease challenges that confront young calves. Another factor to be added into the equation is the fact that colostrum quality can vary significantly from cow to cow. In response to this we are now providing our new-born calves with an extra boost in the first hours of birth, by ensuring that they each receive a tube of Calf Aid paste, which fully complements the nutrition and antibody already available courtesy of the dam’s first milk.”
