Feeding Guide
- 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.
- Download the protocol from our website.
- CAUTION: Introducing grain to your cattle requires a good induction phase to minimise the risk of gastrointestinal upsets. Before introducing grain, speak to your animal nutritionist or visit proagni.com/cattleinduction/
