Three types of calf milk to meet the highest standards
The foundations for successful dairy farming are laid during the rearing of calves. The first few weeks of life are crucial for growth, health and future performance. Only calves that receive optimal care develop into long-lived, high-yielding dairy cows.
All our calf milk products are based on carefully selected, highly digestible raw materials and contain additional safety components thanks to the BEWITAL-Vitality-System (BVS 2.0). In intensive feeding regimes, our premium calf milk products ensure a needs-based supply of protein from milk and whey proteins in line with current scientific recommendations.
Our premium calf milk ranges
BEWI-MILK® AM 5 is a high-protein calf milk formula designed for calves with high genetic potential, and its composition stands out significantly from the market standard. Its special formulation allows for intensive feeding without premature satiety. For high intake and consistent growth.
BEWI-MILK® AM 9 is a tried-and-tested calf milk formula for intensive rearing, containing 50% skimmed milk powder. It has long been the foundation of high-performing herds on many farms.
BEWI-MILK® Protect wurde specially developed to ensure a safe start to rearing. To support health and resilience during the first few weeks of life when the risk of infection is high.
Our BEWITAL-Vorsorge-System (BVS 2.0)
All our milk replacers are made from carefully selected, highly digestible raw materials, contain additional safety components as part of the BEWITAL-Vitality-System (BVS 2.0), and are continuously refined based on the latest findings in animal nutrition and extensive practical experience.
★ Sweeteners and flavourings pack: It ensures optimal acceptance and uptake
★ Organic acids: They regulate the pH level in the gut and optimise the living conditions for the gut flora
★ Special grease formulation: Optimal particle size, optimised for maximum digestibility and utilisation
★ Probiotics: Live microorganisms suppress pathogenic germs
★ Prebiotics: Promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut

What does the calf need for 1,000 g daily weight gain?
Successful and performance-orientated calf rearing requires an intensive feeding regime. From the outset, the development of female calves should be geared towards the goal of a healthy, fertile dairy cow with a high lifetime yield. In addition to muscle growth, the focus is therefore particularly on the development of vital udder and reproductive tissue.

Ad libitum, restrictive or controlled full feeding
Ad libitum, restrictive or controlled full feeding? Recommendations from the USA and Germany show calves with high genetic potential need more energy and protein to reach full growth potential. In practice, different feeding systems are used. The Milchbar feeding system, combined with controlled feeding, showed advantages in calf development and welfare.

From “milk-digester” to ruminant
During the first few weeks of life, calves undergo a fundamental physiological transformation, evolving from monogastric digestion to becoming fully functional ruminants. This complex developmental transition also changes the source and availability of essential amino acids required for optimal growth, metabolism, and overall health.
