The standard recommendation of giving calves 3 litres of colostrum is based on an average calf size of 35kg. In addition, Provita Colostrum also contains probiotics to help populate the gut with ‘good’ bacteria to reduce the risk of digestive disturbance. To support continuing development and growth in these valuable calves, Provita Colostrum Elite provides powdered high-energy colostrum concentrate from disease-free EU herds and egg protein. While maternal vaccination offers early protection via colostrum, targeted nutritional, probiotic interventions, such as Provita Response Paste, aim to kick start developing calf immunity and intestinal health. What makes Provita Response Paste different is the unique high-quality probiotics in a single, convenient syringe applicator.
