How do I use ProTect C Wean?

ProTect C Wean is a pelleted feed, to be fed directly to calves as part of an early weaning protocol.

  • Supply to calves using feed trough or trail feeding.
  • Provide access to adlib cereal hay and cool, clean water. Introduce ration by feeding 250g per head, fed twice a day. Each day increase ration by 250g per head per feed until ad lib consumption is achieved.
  • Once calves are consuming up to 1kg per day, additional cracked/rolled cereal grain may be added to ProTect C Wean at a ratio of 2:1 eg 1kg ProTect C Wean + 500g Cereal grain.
  • Feed ProTect C Wean to calves for 14 to 21 days, or until calves reach liveweight of at least 120kg. Following early weaning, calves can transition to a grain-based diet containing ProTect C, or high quality pastures.

ProTect C Wean is free from all antibiotics including ionophores*

Packaged in 25kg bags, 1 tonne bags or bulk.

*Ionophore antibiotics are compounds produced by microorganisms (mainly spore-forming bacteria); they act by specifically increasing the ion permeability of the cell membrane. View Source
