FEATURES and BENEFITS
Colostrum: the most important factor in calf management. To ensure each calf's health and well being, it is essential that intensive management prevail during the first 24 hours of life. Calves that receive inadequate or no colostrum are pre-disposed to disease. Colostrum provides both disease protection and high quality nutrition for your calves.

Merrick's Blue Ribbon Dried Bovine Colostrum provides a source of vital nutrients to newborn calves that do not receive an adequate quantity or quality of colostrum.

Provides 55 grams of globulin proteins, energy and other essential nutrients.

Can be used to extend the supply of colostrum on the farm and to improve low quality colostrum.

Pasteurized to maximize biosecurity.

Multiple doses can be fed during the first 24 hours of life to increase the amount of immunoglobulins consumed.

Feeding Merrick's Dried Bovine Colostrum as part of a good colostrum management program can help you achieve better calf growth rates, improved disease resistance and lower mortality rates.

INGREDIENTS
Dried Bovine Colostrum

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Mix 0.75 lb (0.34 kg) to 2 quarts of warm water or colostrum (110°F). Mix the powder into solution vigorously.

2. For best results, measure the dried colostrum powder using a weight scale.

3. The solution will be thick. Due to this thickness, it may be necessary to increase the volume and mix the 0.75 lb of powder into 1 gallon of warm water or colostrum.

4. Administer the entire 2 quarts (or 1 gallon) of product to the newborn calf within 12 hours after birth. If the calf will not consume the entire amount on its own, administer the remaining solution using an esophogeal feeder.

The above steps should be repeated within 24 hours after birth to ensure adequate intake of immunoglobulins by the calf.
