(Sponsored) With pasture conditions rapidly deteriorating in Southwest Iowa, many producers are looking for options to stretch their remaining grass. Early weaning is one of the options being discussed, and whether you wean early or hold off and wean at the same time you normally would, it is critical that calves get up on feed and consume 3% of their body weight as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Adair Feed and Grain offer Purina’s line of calf starters which are ideal tools that accomplish higher intakes earlier in the weaning period, and give your calves the fast start required to keep them healthy. Adair Feed and Grain offers several options depending on whether you are self-feeding or hand-feeding calves. Accuration Starter Complete is designed to be fed in a self-feeder, Pre Con/ Receiving Chow Complete can be fed in a self-feeder or hand fed, and Stress Care 5 is designed to be hand fed at five pounds per head per day, along with your farm grown forages and feedstuffs.
All 3 of these Purina products contain RX3 Immune Support Technology, which is a precise combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and plant extracts to help address weaning stressors and respiratory challenges head on.
