\u201cEvery day counts when it comes to getting calves off to a good start and introducing calves to fibre in the initial days is part of getting this early formula right,\u201d Fiber Fresh national sales manager Bob Bell says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntroducing a high nutritional fibre in calves\u2019 diets within their first few weeks encourages faster and healthier rumen and digestive development, allowing calves to transition and thrive on grass much faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also leads to long term health benefits and production,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

FiberStart enhances full stomach development in the calf.<\/p>\n

It promotes advanced rumen and papillae growth while improving enzyme activity and the establishment of correct microflora (bacteria) populations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy feeding FiberStart the calf is following a natural path of development with an easily digested fibre.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt provides the all-important scratch factor and essential nutrition for sustained growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are all necessary elements required by a young calf if it is to grow and thrive on pasture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell says almost any cereal-based concentrate calf feed can be fed alongside FiberStart.<\/p>\n

Fiber Fresh feeds are research-based and are a culmination of years of trials to develop the advanced processes that result in superior fibres.<\/p>\n
