A progressive farmer in Scotland (530 cows) has been using Axcelera-C for 3 months
Axcelera-C is offered to calves at 7 days of age, and are eating 75g/day within a week, and 150g/head/day minimum by 28 days of age. The Axcelera-C was offered in addition to their standard CMR program of up to 7L of milk per day.
The farm opts to wean at 56 days, irrespective of intakes and are seeing:
- Calves getting onto Axcelera-C better than starter pellets
- Calves transition better at weaning
- Calves put on more weight after weaning
