APC FEED CONCEPTS FOR
01 - Pro Calf
pro calf
A healthy start in the rearing phase – from day 3
The first few days of life are crucial for a calves' later development. Their digestive and immune systems are not yet fully mature at this stage and are sensitive to changes or stress. The natural feed supplement Procalf APC Austria's product was specially developed to provide targeted support for calves from the third day of life. Its composition aims to promote healthy intestinal function, improve nutrient absorption, and foster more stable and faster growth. A functioning digestive tract in the early stages is crucial for the animals' subsequent feed intake, growth, and vitality.
Our special early weaning concept is far more cost-effective and economical than conventional weaning methods.
Sustainability & Research:
Micronutrient complex with targeted effects in the gut
Procalf's formula is based on a balanced complex of active ingredients including physically activated clay minerals, selected herbs, essential oils, and essential trace elements. The included immune stimulants, vitamins, and trace elements provide optimal nutrition for the calf. The surface structure of the intestinal mucosa is improved, beneficial lactic acid bacteria are promoted, and pathogenic germs are actively suppressed. This results in more stable and efficient nutrient absorption by the digestive system, leading to increased feed intake and more consistent weight gain.
In addition, the immune system is strengthened with special immunostimulants – a significant advantage in the vulnerable initial phase.
