Fat = Energy! ⚡
Fat is an important energy source in calf milk replacers. It provides energy to support growth, body condition and maintaining body temperature.
⚡ Energy – Fat is a concentrated energy source, providing more than twice as much energy per gram as carbohydrates.
🐄 Growth & condition – Helps calves meet their energy requirements for healthy development.
❄️ Cold weather – Calves need extra energy to stay warm when temperatures drop.
The right balance matters! – The ideal fat content depends on the calf's age, feeding programme and energy requirements.

It’s Thursday… so it’s time to choose! 👇
The first colostrum feed… how do you give it? 🐄🍼
👍 Bottle
❤️ Tube
When drinking from a bottle, the oesophageal groove reflex directs colostrum straight into the abomasum.
With tube feeding, colostrum first enters the rumen before passing into the abomasum.
Both methods have their place, but timing and quality are key! 💪🐄

Mixing temperature is crucial!
The right water temperature is essential for properly dissolving calf milk replacer. Getting it wrong can affect milk quality and digestibility!
🔥 Too hot? – Excessive heat can damage milk proteins and affect their nutritional quality.
❄️ Too cold? – Fats may not disperse properly, leaving the milk poorly mixed.
🥛 Poorly dissolved milk powder – Can result in uneven nutrient distribution and make digestion less efficient. The ideal mixing temperature? – For many milk replacers, 45–50°C is the ideal range for proper dissolving.
⚠️ Winter tip! – Water can cool down quickly in colder conditions, so keep an eye on the temperature during mixing.
🌡️ Use your Prominend thermometer! – Take the guesswork out of mixing and make sure you get the right temperature every time!
