Calf Milk Additive
FortiMILK™ GOLD
A calf milk supplement designed to promote calf health, enhance growth, and manage protozoa disease throughout the milk feeding period.
Feeding Recommendations
For best results add FortiMILK GOLD to milk feed from 24 hours after birth and continue for the duration of milk feeding.
7.5g per calf, per day if under 35kg
10g per calf, per day if over 35kg

Excessive consumption of ionophores or use within the first 24 hours of life may result in ionophore toxicity in young calves.
Concurrent use of milk additives that contain Ionophores e.g. (lasalocid or monensin) should be avoided or carefully monitored.

Description

Nutritional Benefits
Whole milk from the modern commercial dairy cow often fails to meet the basic vitamin and trace mineral requirements of young milk-fed calves (data on file). These can be met by supplementing whole milk with FortiMILK GOLD - specifically designed to supplement the daily requirements of fast growing pre-ruminant calves and maximise health and growth potential.
It also contains high-dose probiotics and Celmanax to establish and maintain beneficial micro-flora balance in the gut, supports good gut health and helps support the immune system. Bovatec is an aid in the control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species in cattle.
FortiMILK GOLD is the ideal calf milk additive for rearing healthy calves in concentrated calving operations.
Bovatec 20CC: Contacts 40g/kg of Bovatec 20CC to provide 80mg of lasalocid per 10g dose. Bovatec 20CC is registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997 No. A9679. See www.foodsafety.govt.nz for registration conditions.

Cattle Feed Storage on Farm
As with any grain or meal feed products need to be kept dry as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products the better your storage facilities need to be.
