Calf Xtreme uses selected high quality ingredients at a highdose rate of 12 billion cfu/dose. It is strong enough to havean impact on the health and growth rates of your calves.It is preserved as a dry powder with ingredients beingactivated inside the calf where they are needed.

A unique combination of ingredients working together synergistically:

• 5 selected strains of Probiotic bacteria micro-encapsulated to get to the lower GI tract for improved immune function:• A specific strain of active live dry yeast. (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) This yeast stimulates cellulose digesting bacteria, improving fibre digestibility, the development of the rumen and the transition to grass.• A blend of 5 digestive enzymes working on protein starch cellulose fat and pectin. These result in better feed breakdown and more surface area for microbes to work on.

The Results are:Helps boost the immune system

Because the probiotic bacteria are micro-encapsulated they can pass through calves stomachs undigested to get to the lower gastro-Intestinal (GI) tract. Here they proliferate and it is in the lower GI tract where 75 – 80% of all mammals’ antibodies are produced. Daily seeding of these bacteria are needed to inhabit the GI tract and proliferate, thereby helping to exclude pathogens and boost the immune system.

Independent trials with bacteria confirm that resistance to disease is boosted. There was a 10 fold increase in survival rate of pigs exposed to diarrhoea and better subsequent live-weight gains. The immune system responded quicker and recovery was faster. (Corr et al 2007) Poultry have also been protected against E-coli, salmonella and campylobacter. (Stern & Chateau et al).

Farmers have confirmed that their health of calves has improved:

Helps improve digestion

A new born Friesian calf only has the capacity to hold 1.2 litres of milk in its Abomasum. Therefore even on twice a day feeding in typical New Zealand rearing systems milk is being stored in the Rumen. There are two major benefits from using Calf Xtreme

1) In the Abomasum the ingredients of Calf Xtreme are helping digestion but in the Rumen the specific yeast used is protecting the calf from acidosis and digestive upsets.

In a university of Toulouse trial on cows that were fed 28kg DM/day the same yeast was equally effective as sodium bicarbonate at stabilizing rumen PH but it did it by stimulating lactate utilizing bacteria. As a result the yeast group had 67% less lactate (acidosis forming) than the sodium bicarbonate group. In addition to stimulating lactate utilizing bacteria the yeast stimulated cellulose digesting bacteria.

2) The digestive enzymes are breaking down milk, meal and grass in the rumen. This would explain why in calves farmers are noticing that their calves are growing faster and getting onto meal and grass earlier.

Improves rumen development

An autopsy was done on an Angus heifer that had been fed BioPro from birth. She dressed 0ut at 250 kg at 14 months.

"That stuff was magic - within two days of starting on

the probiotic (at double the dose rate) all my calves

stopped scouring. I didn't have to use electrolytes."

"My calves are reaching weaning weights 10-14 days earlier without increasing milk. W have also got them onto once a day

feeding earlier."

"We are increasing milk consumption without

encountering health issues."

"The papillae in the rumen were larger and thicker and better developed for a young Ruminant than otherwise would be expected. Enhanced rumen development and greater surface area of the papillae leads to improved absorption capacity from the rumen." Brisbane Vet

NOTE: IF THERE IS A HEALTH ISSUE WITH CALVES 1) ISOLATE SICK CALVES AND TEST DUNG SAMPLES 2) TREAT ACCORDING 3) USE CALF XTREME AT DOUBLE DOSE RATES EVEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANTIBIOTICS

"My calves have recovered better from Rotovirus than they ever would have."

CALF tremePROBIOTIC BOOSTER

Revolutionizing calf rearingCalf Xtreme probiotic booster should help with:

• Once a day feeding from an earlier age• Overcoming health challenges with higher dose rates• Less labour required• Higher milk and meal intakes resulting in accelerated growth of

calves• When Calf Xtreme is added to meal results can continue after

weaning

• With a better start calves it will be easier to achieve targetmating and calving liveweights and therefore better 2nd calving reproductive performance

• Bull calves achieve target slaughter weights earlier

• Better Heifer milk production

Why can we expect better heifer milk production if calves grow faster?1. With conventional feeding of 4-5l/day we are

restricting calves’ natural growth (especially in theirfirst few weeks of life when growth can be doubled.)

2. Early growth of calves results in moremammary tissue - But it has to be parenchyma tissue (tissue such as alveoli that is relevant to milk production). In this trial it was 50% more. This is being laid down in he first few weeks of a calves life

3. University of Illinois trial –Dracley et al • Heifers were grown at ad-lib rates from birth compared with control.• After weaning group weights were equalized so that there was no difference in liveweights• There was a 10% increase in milk and protein from accelerated growth of young calves• Results were most pronounced when growth of calves is accelerated in the first 3-5 weeks of age

Calf Xtreme will help you achieve this.

Benefits and CostsPotential Benefits of growing calves faster• Earlier weaning (without increasing milk consumption)

Why can we expect better heifer milk production if calves grow faster?

1. With conventional feeding of 4-5/day we are restricting calves' natural growth (especially in their first few weeks of life when growth can be doubled).

2. Early growth of calves results in more mammary tissue - But it has to be parenchyma tissue (tissue such as alveoli that is relevant to milk production). 50% more tissue relevant to milk production was being laid down in the first few weeks of a calves life for calves given a good start

3. University of Illinois trial - Dracley et al• Heifers were grown at ad lib rates from birth compared with control.• After weaning group weights were equalized so that there was no difference in live weights• There was a 10% increase in milk and protein from accelerated growth of young calves• Results were most pronounced when growth of calves is accelerated in the first 3-5 weeks of age Calf Xtreme will help you achieve this.

Calf Xtreme helps revolutionise calf rearing by helping you with:

• Higher milk rates on twice a day feeding• Once a day feeding from an earlier age• Less labour required• Higher milk and meal intakes result in accelerated growth of calves• When Calf Xtreme is added to meal results can continue after weaning.

• With a better start for calves it will be easier to achieve target mating and calving live weights and therefore better 2nd calving reproductive performance.• Bull calves achieve target slaughter weights earlier• Better heifer milk production.
