Mega Max Calf Starter is designed to be fed ad-lib from 4 days of age until weaning. There is no need for straw or hay to be fed as the fibre is provided by the grains in the feed.

Nutritional Benefits
A mixture of whole grains and a protein pellet provide a combination that has been designed to maximise early rumen development. The whole grains provide the starch for growth and development without causing acidosis in the young calf.
It has been trialled in America on 250,000 calves and used widely in the industry. We have also trialled the product in New Zealand on more than 2500 calves and seen great results. The calves love the whole grains and cud them like cows do grass, which provides the saliva to build the rumen in the infant calf.
Mega Max Calf Starter contains Bovatec™ for control of coccidiosis, vitamins, trace elements and probiotic for good health.
Bovatec® is a registered product under the ACVM Act 1997, A9679

Cattle Feed Storage on Farm
As with any grain or meal feed products need to be kept dry as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products the better your storage facilities need to be.
