The critical first moments of a calf's life are essential in shaping its future productivity. Poor calf health leads to both direct and indirect costs, including reduced growth rates, increased mortality, and lower future productivity, all of which significantly impact long-term profitability. Early intervention is critical for improving calf health and ensuring long-term success in your herd.

In this episode of Ruminate This we discuss why "winning the battle of the gut" from Day One is vital for calf health. Pathogens multiply three times faster than beneficial bacteria, making it essential to boost beneficial bacteria and pathogen-specific proteins to defend and protect calves.

With dairy, beef, and beef x dairy calves reaching record prices, ensuring they can protect themselves throughout the milk-feeding phase is key to unlocking their full genetic potential and setting them up for lifelong productivity and success.
