Product Information
Full details
Provita Response Paste is a targeted nutritional supplement designed for newborn and young calves, providing an essential boost of energy, colostrum, probiotics, and vitamins. It is ideal for farmers looking to support calf vitality, particularly for those that are newborn, bought-in, or recovering from stress and antibiotic treatment. While it acts as a powerful health aid, it must be noted that it is most effective when administered within the first six hours of a calf's life to ensure optimal absorption of the included colostrum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Always verify the dosage setting to ensure you are only dispensing one of the two available applications per dose. Clean the nozzle after use if necessary to prevent contamination.
