Emerald Calf Milk Powder 20kg

Emerald is a 20% protein (whey and skim), 22% fat product manufactured in Ireland. In stressful conditions, calves need a combination of slow and fast release lactose with good energy reserves found in fats and with a combination of fast-release and slow-release protein to get the best from their feed. This is especially important in situations when environments change, such as when moving calves to different farms as is the case with purchased beef calves. The calf will convert energy stores to sugar however this is a time-consuming process and results in a delayed reaction to the calf as it is being hit with sudden stresses. Sugar helps it deal with that immediate stress while energy converted from fat acts as a support.

• Made with extra energy in the form of fat and sugar, for when calves use sugar to keep warm in changeable conditions
• Designed for feeding calves in intensive block calving systems, with skim and buttermilk to promote health in challenging conditions and to slow down digestion as nature intended.
