Healthy Start® from TransAgra International stimulates feed efficiencies early in calf's life
Healthy Start from TransAgra International helps initiate feed efficiencies early in the dairy calf's life for greater lifetime performance and profitability. Healthy Start, a proprietary Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, promotes a healthy balance of beneficial microflora in the gut. This helps keep calves growing fast and strong throughout weaning, helps minimize the risk of scours and intestinal upsets, and helps keep mortality rates low. TransAgra International, a worldwide leader in microbial fermentation, creates natural, effective and environmentally sustainable solutions for feed, forage and plant enterprises.
Healthy Start promotes feed intake, average daily gain, and feed efficiency with new born calves, receiving cattle and cattle off feed. It is associated with reduced feed costs throughout the production cycle. The oral supplement has become known for protecting against calf scours (neonatal calf diarrhea), intestinal upsets, acidosis, weight loss, slow growth and development, and immune suppression.
Research trials at the University of California, Utah State University, and on farm confirm the role of Culbac in well-run and well-managed dairy operations.
