Arguably the most important phase in the youngstock period is the pre-weaning phase. This early life phase is crucial for rumen development and also is the time in the animal’s life when the highest rates of feed conversion efficiency can be achieved.

Calf Milk Replacer

Working with top dairy calf nutrition experts, we have developed a range of milk powders to ensure healthy calf growth and development pre-weaning. Both high Skim and Whey Protein based powders are available to suit a range of calf rearing systems.

Our range of milk replacers contain the vital amino acids, immunoglobulins and lactoferrins required for healthy calf growth and development and are designed to achieve higher growth rates in excess of 750grams liveweight per day.

Calf Starter Feed

Our Lakeland Agri Munchy Calf Muesli and Calf Starter Pencils have been specially formulated to work alongside these milk replacers to develop the rumen from the first few weeks of life.

Calf health is one of the biggest benefits we have seen since using the CalfSmart23 Milk Replacer. We have had no incidences of scour during the rearing period and calves are thriving really well, with no setbacks. We are delighted with how well they are exceeding target weaning weights.
