How to Use
- Mix 1 package (1.0 lb) of Nourish into 1.5 quarts of warm (105°F/40°C) water.
- Stir well with a whisk to ensure complete dispersal.
- Feed to the calf in one feeding via nipple feeder or esophageal feeder as soon as possible following birth,
Several factors affect the calf’s ability to absorb essential globulin proteins (IgG), such as: the quality of the colostrum, age at first feeding, level of stress, exposure to bacterial contamination and weather.
Health, Immunity, Pathogenic Exposure, Intestinal and respiratory infections are responsible for most morbidity and mortality in young calves. Health is a balance between the animal’s ability to resist disease causing pathogens and the level of pathogens in the calf’s environment. Therefore, when the calf’s ability to resist pathogens (immunity) is greater than the level of exposure, the calf is more likely to remain healthy.
