    SPECIAL FORMULATION - Silver Star is a special formulation of natural milk and egg product proteins, animal fat and organic acids for bucket or free choice feeding.

    LESS NUTRITIONAL STRESS - Organic acids help maintain an optimal pH level in the intestinal tract to suppress pathogenic bacteria, thus providing less nutritional stress.

    GREATER WEIGHT GAINS - Organic acids assist in better digestion and utilization of milk fats and proteins. Calves realize early growth potential because of better digestion of nutrients.

    ADDED ENERGY - Highly digestible fat provides added energy for greater rates of gain. The fat is homogenized and spray dried to reduce the particle size for easier digestion by the immature digestive systems of young calves.

    COLD WATER MIXING - Unique processing allows Silver Star to stay in suspension in cold water.

    LOWER pH FACTOR - maintains the correct digestive acidity level and helps the natural resistance to scours-causing bacteria.

    MANAGEMENT CONVENIENCE - Silver Star can be fed twice daily or through a free choice nipple system. Product maintains freshness for a minimum of 24 hours.
