Q:
Must I be on an accelerated calf milk replacer program to get the benefits
from feeding Calf-Vantage?
A:
No you do not. However, Calf-Vantage is formulated to continue the accelerated
calf growth that such milk replacer programs provide.
Q:
Does the Calf-Vantage feeding program guarantee that I will reduce my average
heifer age at first breeding?
A:
Although three years of commercial experience has shown an average reduction
of sixty days when heifers are bred by height, your animal performance will
depend on the combination of management and feeding strategies. Some producers
may choose to use this technology to increase the average freshening size
of their heifers .
Q:
What is unique about the Calf-Vantage system compared to past accelerated
feeding programs?
A:
The Calf-Vantage system delivers a 20% increase in volumetric frame growth
compared to whatever you are currently doing. This is in sharp contrast to
past feeding programs whose goal was only to increase weight gains.
Q:
Is the Calf-Vantage feeding system just another high protein calf feed?
A:
No, because Calf-Vantage contains Fermenten, it contains average levels of
bypass plant protein, no animal protein, and average levels of crude protein
in the total ration.
Q:
How was the Calf-Vantage product line formulated?
A:
The Calf-Vantage line of feeds was formulated using the current CPM Dairy
Model software to meet the calfŐs accelerated growth requirements for protein
and energy.
Q: IsnŐt it unreasonable to ship calf feeds long distances?
