Good colostrum supply lays the foundation for a healthy start in life. With proper management, you support your calves’ health from the beginning and can reduce the risk of losses during the sensitive first phase of life.
But what does this look like in practice?
Four dairy farmers from different regions report how they use BEWI®-SAN Calf Start on their farms and adapt it to their individual requirements.
BEWI®-SAN Calf Start supports your calves with colostrum supply, as a supplement to colostrum or as a replacement in critical situations (e.g., heifer births or sick dams).
What our customer says:
Paul & Lisa Morbeck | Dairy Farm, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany)
“We mix 150 g of BEWI®-SAN Calf Start into each ColoQuick bag before the colostrum is frozen. This way we can act immediately after calving and the calf is optimally supplied.”
Why BEWI®-SAN Calf Start?
The first hours of life determine the calf’s health. BEWI®-SAN Calf Start supports the supply of immunoglobulins when adequate intake of high-quality colostrum is not ensured.
Ideal for whom?
For farms that want to optimally supply their calves immediately after birth – whether as a supplement to colostrum or as a replacement.

More voices from practice:
“We initially mixed BEWI®-SAN Calf Start into colostrum with a Brix value of 22 or less. Since the product’s price and performance are convincing, we now use it as standard for colostrum enhancement in all calves.”
Henrike Möllers | Dairy Farm, Recklinghausen (Germany)
“Currently we are experiencing increased early calvings
– with the result that too little or poor-quality colostrum
is available.
With BEWI®-SAN Calf Start I can react flexibly:
for enhancement or as a complete replacement.”
Michael Goldbach | Dairy Farm, Rhön (Germany)
“With BEWI®-SAN CAlf Start I am flexible – regardless of whether
too little or no colostrum is available or the
quality is not right. With the product I can react quickly in any
situation and specifically enhance the colostrum.”
Christian Hartmann | Dairy Farm, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany)
