Beef Calf Rearing

Stable growth pays off.

In beef calf rearing, calves are weaned from milk and developed into ruminants. New feed, a new environment, and new groups particularly challenge the gut. Targeted support helps maintain stable digestion, growth, and health.

Why the Beef Calf Phase is So Critical

Beef calves face a dual challenge. They must grow and adapt to entirely new conditions simultaneously. Transport, relocation, and feed changes place significant stress on the organism.

"Stabilizing the gut during the transition phase lays the foundation for healthy, high-performing animals."

The gut is the central organ in this process. It must process new feed components, absorb nutrients, and simultaneously function as a barrier against pathogens. If the gut becomes unstable, overall development suffers.

Gut it!

Animal health begins in the gut.

Gut it! is our guiding principle for healthy rearing: The gut determines how stably
young animals start, grow, and master critical phases. That is why we develop
feeding concepts that start early and work simply in the barn.

Our Promise
  • Start early: strengthen intestinal health from the beginning.
  • Proven in practice: developed together with farmers.
  • Easy to apply: designed for everyday use in the barn.
