New Zealand's full curding whole milk powder based CMR, trusted by kiwi farmers since 1966.
Why Ancalf™?
- Suitable from day 4 through to weaning*
- Nutrient profile almost identical to raw whole milk, providing calves with the very best start to life.
- 26% protein primarily from NZ sourced whole milk powder, providing essential nutrition for growth.
- 20% fat from dairy sources, the only fat that contains butyrate, which is important for rumen development.
- High casein component for a strong curd, like nature intended, for initial digestion in the stomach and improved nutrient supply & uptake.
- Coccistop® coccidiostat to help combat the effects of coccidiosis. Safe for dogs and horses.
- Actigen® prebiotic supports calf health by preventing some bad bacteria (gram negative bacteria) populating the intestine, enabling the gut to function more efficiently and liberates nutrients for growth and health.
- Specific vitamins and minerals to enhance calf development and health.
- Every batch thoroughly tested to provide product consistency and meet rigorous Fonterra quality standards.
- Can be used in automatic feeders and for fortifying whole milk to increase nutrition and consistency.
