Nettex Agri Calf Colostrum Double Strength is designed for dairy and beef farmers who need a reliable, high-protein alternative to ensure newborns receive vital nutrients immediately after birth. This concentrated formula provides a powerful nutritional boost during the critical first hours of life, supporting healthy development and long-term vitality. While it is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, it should be used as a supplemental tool and cannot fully replace the unique biological benefits of natural maternal colostrum when it is available in sufficient quantities.

It is most effective when administered within the first two hours of the calf's life.
It is designed to be fed as a stand-alone supplement for the first feed. Consult your vet regarding nutritional protocols for subsequent feeds.
Please verify with your organic certifying body, as specific regulations regarding colostrum substitutes can vary.
Store in a cool, dry area at room temperature to preserve the efficacy of the vitamins and minerals.
The double strength refers to the high concentration of nutrients per unit, ensuring the calf gets a full serving of protein in a single 200g dose.
Add the powder gradually to the water while whisking constantly rather than dumping the whole sachet at once.
Ensure the mixture is at body temperature and check for any oral obstructions; if refusal persists, utilize a clean, lubricated esophageal tube.
To prepare the colostrum, mix the contents of the 200g sachet with warm water (not exceeding 45°C to avoid damaging heat-sensitive proteins) following the manufacturer's specific ratio. Ensure the feeding equipment, whether a bottle or esophageal feeder, is thoroughly sanitized before and after use to prevent cross-contamination. Store the remaining sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain the integrity of the vitamins and proteins. Check the expiry date regularly and rotate stock so the oldest product is used first during the calving season.
