CALF REARING

The right start makes all the difference.

The first weeks of life are the most critical phase. What happens here shapes the entire development. A stable gut is the foundation for health, growth, and performance.

Why calf rearing is so crucial

Calves are the future of every dairy farm. Their health in the first weeks of life determines how productive they will become later. However, it is precisely during this phase that the organism is particularly vulnerable.

The gut is not yet fully developed, and the immune system must first be built up. Any disruption can have long-term consequences, whether due to infection pressure, feeding errors, or environmental stress.

"Animal health begins in the gut. And gut health begins in the first hours of life."
