Calves are the future of any herd replacement program. Good
management during the critical early stages of a calf's life can result in a head
start that will last throughout the growing period.
Plas/Magic has proven to be the cornerstone for building successful calf management programs. It is a specifically designed fortifier to use with either whole milk or milk replacer. With this patented* formulation, plasma can now be added to whole milk or milk replacer at an economical cost per calf per day. In addition, the direct-fed microbials, specific selected sugars, garlic extract, electrolytes and high levels of vitamins help to optimize intestinal health. Each daily dose of Plas/Magic provides these levels of vitamins per calf per day:
Once Plas/Magic became a key part of raising calves at Merrick's research farm, calf loss declined by 70%. Records at our 188 calf facility show a dramatic increase in survivability when sale barn calves receive Plas/Magic for the first 21 days. Selecting the best Plas/Magic feeding schedule for your operation depends on a variety of factors including the source of calves and farm conditions. Keep in mind that the majority of pathogenic organisms causing infectious scours, such as E. coli, Rotavirus, Coronavirus and Cryptosporidium, primarily affect calves within the first 21 days of a calf's life. *Patent #5,785,990
