Product Information
Full details
Provita Response Paste is a targeted nutritional supplement designed for livestock managers and farmers looking to provide an immediate vital boost to newborn calves. This oral paste combines essential energy, colostrum, probiotics, egg powder, and vitamins to support immunity and digestive health during the critical first hours of life. While it is an excellent tool for jump-starting health in newborns, bought-in calves, or those recovering from stress, it is a single-use intervention that should be administered specifically within the first six hours of life for maximum colostrum absorption efficacy.

FAQs
When is the best time to administer Provita Response Paste?
For optimal results, administer within the first six hours of the calf's life.
Can I use this for calves older than one day?
Yes, it is also effective for bought-in calves or those recovering from stress or antibiotic therapy.
How many doses are in one tube?
Each 15g tube contains a single dose intended for one-time administration.
Is this a substitute for maternal colostrum?
No, it is a supplement designed to support colostrum absorption, not a complete replacement for high-quality maternal colostrum.
How does this compare to Provita Protect?
The paste contains a similar strain of beneficial bacteria found in Provita Protect, but it is specifically formulated as an easy-to-feed paste for immediate intervention.
Troubleshooting
Calf refuses to swallow the paste
Ensure the nozzle is placed toward the back of the tongue to trigger the swallowing reflex, but do not force the plunger if the calf is struggling to breathe.
Paste is too thick to dispense easily
Keep the tube at room temperature for 15 minutes before use to soften the formulation, especially in cold weather environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Each Provita Response Paste comes in a ready-to-use 15g syringe. No mixing or external equipment is required. To administer, ensure the calf is properly restrained to avoid injury. Insert the nozzle into the side of the mouth and depress the plunger fully to deliver the complete dose. Store the tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the probiotic bacteria. The product is compatible with most standard calf rearing protocols and can be used in conjunction with other veterinary treatments as directed by your veterinarian.
