A black and white beef producer has used Axcelera-C on 2 batches of 60 bulls. One batch was offered Axcelera-C blended in at 15% with his concentrate 30-90 days of age. The other batch of 60 bulls were offered concentrate only. Typically calves are offered Axcelera-C from day 3 - so a delay of 3 weeks we would have expected a reduced response. The results still yielded a 4:1 ROI.
- Axcelera-C calves increased their daily live weight gain (DLWG) by 110g or 6.7kg in 2 months when fed at 15% concentrate
- Increased concentrate intake in early life
- Halved lifetime mortality from 26% to 12%
- Extra 1706kg carcass weight sold, worth £4468.63
- Greater proportion of bulls finished within specification
