The essential oils in NuStart help to stimulate appetite
and kill the non desirable bacteria, while the prebiotic
acts as a source of nutrients for the healthy bacteria
and therefore aids effcient digestion. The probiotic
quickly repopulates the digestive tract with benefcial
bacteria. Grape PP is a powerful antioxidant that
improves the calf’s natural ability to fght disease.
Provimilk with added NuStart improves the digestive
process and increases feed intake, which boosts
growth rates and improves feed conversion.
In a study, 24 male Holstein calves were divided
into two equal groups. A milk replacer containing
20% CP and 18% fat was fed during six weeks,
combined with ad libitumMuesli starter feed
(19% CP) from two weeks of age.
In this trial, the calves receiving milk replacer with
NuStart had a 27% improved growth rate (Figure 1)
and a 17% higher feed intake than the calves receiving
the control treatment without NuStart (Figure 2).
These results also show the effect of NuStart on
effcient utilisation of nutrients. The positive effect
of NuStart on starter feed intake also stimulates
rumen development.
NuStart benefts both dairy and beef animals.
It contributes to meeting the target calving age of two
years at the desired weight of 640kg before calving.
In beef cattle, it reduces time to fnishing.
In both sectors, NuStart has a signifcant impact
on proftability.
NuStart benefts
- Promotes an optimal, healthy gut fora
- Stimulates the development of the
digestive tract
- Decreases oxidative stress
-
Improves the calf’s ability to fght disease
The effects of NuStart result in a clear decrease of
digestive disorders and a stimulation of dry matter
intake. Besides that, NuStart improves growth and
development and it increases feed utilisation and
effciency.
