Leading researchers are now showing that calves perform better if they have 3 milk feeds a day. Managing and delivering liquid milk to calves is a time consuming and management challenge; it needs to be measured, mixed, heated and delivered. Consequently, most dairy farmers opt for 2 feeds a day with some choosing even feeding one liquid milk feed a day.
Farmers who want to optimise their calf's performance can supplement their existing liquid milk program (once or twice-a-day feeding) without having to mix more milk by offering Axcelera-C.
On-farm work shows that the best time to offer Axcelera-C to supplement the liquid feeding is in the evening which means giving 2 liquid feeds through the day followed by a 3rd one in the form of Axcelera-C in the evening.
Always offer fresh Axcelera-C each day, using any from the previous day with older calves. It is best offered in a shallow bucket / trough, and always provide ad lib water and straw.
