Vigortone VigorKalf (R) Calf Starter Medicated is a complete, texturized
starter that contains an ideal amino acid profile for preruminant calves. The corn
is flaked to improve digestibility and palatability. Oats provide another source
of carbohydrates, and research has shown improved performance with inclusion of
oats. Liquid molasses improves palatability and reduces dustiness. The pellet
contains protein, minerals, and vitamins. There are six sources of protein in
the pellet to supply the optimum amino acid nutrition to the calf. Calcium,
phosphorus, and magnesium are necessary to build the skeletal frame and other
bodily functions. A specially formulated blend of trace minerals including
cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc 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 VigorKalf (R)
Calf Starter. |

Replacement heifers should reach 82-90% of their 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 VigorKalf Concentrate KA2354R is a supplement that is pelleted to prevent
separation of the various ingredients and improve palatability. Four protein
sources are included to provide the optimum amino acid nutrition.
Vigortone VigorKalf Concentrate KA2354R pellets contain calcium necessary for
strong bone development and other body functions. Phosphorus is necessary for
optimum energy utilization, reproductive performance, and fiber digestion.
Vigortone VigorKalf Concentrate KA2354R pellets also contain magnesium and a
specially formulated blend of trace minerals including cobalt, copper, iodine,
iron, manganese, and 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 Vigortone VigorKalf Concentrate KA2354R pellets.
