Cow's Match® Calf Growth Formula provides significant biosecurity advantages over non-pasteurized milk. It's part of good herd management practice that help you prevent the spread of diseases.
But now Cow's
Match® Calf Growth Formula gives you a new tool to help calves fight back against infection and disease. And it sets a new standard for care.
The improved
Architect® CM formulation system allows a calf's immune system to function at its best. That means a more robust immune response to infection and disease.
Consider that 90%
to 100% of herds have Johne's disease, Salmonella and/or clinical mastitis1. Feeding waste milk can compromise
biosecurity if it contains:
- Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, which causes Johne's disease.
- E. coli, which can sicken calves with bacterial scours.
- Staph. aureus, which can lead to mammary infections in
heifers about to freshen.
- Mycoplasma
bovis, which can cause inner-ear infections,
swollen joints and pneumonia.
Milk proteins in Cow's
Match® Calf Growth Formula have been pasteurized
twice, which destroys disease-causing organisms.
- Proteins and fat used
in Cow's Match® Calf Growth Formula
meet human food quality standards, which assures low bacteria
counts.
- Cow's Match® Calf Growth Formula can be medicated to aid
in the prevention or treatment of scours or coccidiosis.
- Research-proven Cow's
Match® Calf Growth Formula meets
the calf's nutritional needs.
- Consistent nutrition
from feeding to feeding reduces the potential for digestive
upsets.
- Calves can be exposed to at least six disease organisms transferred
in waste or non-pasteurized milk:
1. Johne's disease
2. Salmonella
3. Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD)
4. Bovine Leukosis Virus (BLV)
5. Mycoplasma bovis
6. Mastitis-causing organisms,
such as Mycoplasma
spp., Staph. aureus and Strep. ag.
