Replacement heifers should reach 82-90% of the mature weight before calving
by 24 months of age. To achieve these goals, it is essential that replacement
heifers be managed properly and receive properly fortified diets. Nutrition for
the young calf is particularly challenging because the rumen is a work in
progress.
Vigortone Kalf 34% KA2404R Medicated contains calcium necessary for strong
bone development and other body functions. Phosphorus is necessary for optimum
energy utilization, reproductive performance, and fiber digestion. Kalf 34%
KA2404R also contains magnesium and a specially formulated blend of trace
minerals including cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc.
These trace minerals play vital roles in body metabolism and are necessary to
build and maintain an active immune system, healthy tissues, and overall animal
health. Vitamins A, D, and E play key roles in the maintenance of optimum
health, growth, and reproductive performance. In adult cows B vitamins are
manufactured through rumen fermentation; however, the rumen is still developing
in the calf, so B vitamins are added to Kalf 34% KA2404R.
Three protein sources are included to provide the optimum amino acid
nutrition. It also contains monensin (Rumensin®) for prevention and control of
coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.
