Achieve More Growth from the Feeding Bucket.
Optimally combining energy and protein during the milk feeding phase delivers significantly higher daily weight gains from each animal.
When Daily Weight Gains Fall Below Average
The milk feeding phase determines later fattening performance. If insufficient highly digestible protein is available, daily weight gains fall short of genetic potential – and this deficit is rarely recovered later.
Genetic Potential Untapped
Modern genetics can deliver far more than 600 g/day – when nutrition is adequate.
Protein Gap in Milk Replacer
Standard milk replacers often fail to provide sufficient highly digestible protein.
Extended Fattening Period
Each additional day in fattening costs money and barn space.
Why Weight Gains Decline
Three key factors in milk replacer determine later performance.
1
Protein Quality
Plant-based protein is poorly digested in the early phase – skim milk powder delivers the best amino acid quality.
2
Concentration
Diluted milk replacer fails to meet energy requirements – higher concentrations significantly increase daily weight gains.
3
Consistency
Fluctuating milk replacer temperature or poor hygiene reduce intake and digestion.

What Calves Need Now
Three clear steps to higher daily weight gains from milk replacer to achieve weaning without growth setbacks.
Improve Protein Quality
Highly digestible skim milk powder provides the amino acids the animal can actually utilize.
Increase Concentration
Higher milk replacer concentrations noticeably increase daily energy supply.
Ensure Vitality
Vitamins and trace elements maintain stable metabolism and immune function.
The OPTI-MILCH Rot Solution
High skim milk content and carefully balanced protein quality – a field study clearly demonstrates the effect.
