CALVE RATIONS

• Only the best, most nutritious and palatable ingredients to manufacture rations for dairy calves
• The aim is to produce well grown-out calves with good developed udders
• Optimize rumen development early in the calves’ life
• We aim to let female calves reach puberty at 50% of their adult mass and to get them pregnant as soon after as possible
• This means she can start producing milk and generate an income sooner
