633158 Ultra Start 150 Calf Colostrum Replacer, 350g

Key Ingredients in Ultra Start 150

Ultra Start 150 delivers a concentrated dose of bovine colostrum packed with immunoglobulins, vitamins and minerals to give new-born calves the best start in life. Each serving provides a level of antibodies, particularly IgG, to help calves achieve adequate passive immunity. The powder is designed for easy mixing with warm water, ensuring quick and efficient absorption.

Why Colostrum Matters for New-born Calves

New-born calves are born with an underdeveloped immune system. During their first hours, they depend entirely on colostrum—the first milk from the mother—to acquire vital antibodies. This passive transfer of immunity is crucial for protecting against infections and promoting overall health. When natural colostrum is lacking or insufficient, a top-quality replacer like Ultra Start 150 becomes indispensable.

How to Use Calf Colostrum Replacer

For optimal results, administer Ultra Start 150 as soon as possible after birth, ideally within six hours. Mix the recommended amount of powder with warm water following the feeding guide on the packet. Use a clean bottle or oesophageal feeder to ensure the calf consumes the full dose. Monitor the calf for any signs of digestive upset and adjust feeding as needed. Always provide fresh water alongside colostrum feeding.

Safety and Storage Considerations

Store Ultra Start 150 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness. Use within the suggested timeframe to preserve potency. Consult your veterinarian before use, especially if the calf has existing health conditions or if you are using other supplements. This product is intended for new-born calves and should not be used for other species without veterinary advice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Colostrum Replacers

How is Ultra Start 150 different from whole milk?
Colostrum replacers provide concentrated antibodies and nutrients not found in ordinary milk. Whole milk lacks the immunoglobulin levels needed for passive immunity in new-born calves.

Can I use this for lambs or kids?
While formulated for calves, some farmers use colostrum replacers for other ruminants. Always consult a veterinarian to confirm suitability and dosage for other species.

How much does one bag contain?
Each 350g bag provides multiple feedings depending on the size and needs of the calf. Follow the label instructions for the exact amount per feeding.
