Full Details
SKU#: PID00408
Calf Max 20% Pellets contain a high level of quality vegetable proteins to ensure lean tissue growth is not compromised by the reduced milk. The pellets provide the energy and protein needed to maximise growth rates during early rumen development as well as a coccidiostat for protection against coccidiosis. Calf Max 20% Pellets are most suitable within a once-a-day milk feeding system where calves are weaned at six weeks of age. Typically, calves are weaned from milk when eating pellets for three or more consecutive days and have reached target weaning weight.
