FIVET CALFCARE STARTER PELLETS (0-3 MONTHS)

Give Your Calves the Strongest Start in Life

- The first three months of a calf’s life are critical in determining its future growth, health, and productivity. FIVET CALFCARE STARTER PELLETS is 18% protein, urea-free and is specially formulated to support early development, helping calves transition smoothly from milk to solid feed while building a strong foundation for long-term performance.

Promotes Early Rumen Development

- Early rumen development is essential for efficient digestion later in life. Fivet CalfCare Starter Pellets stimulate rumen activity by encouraging the growth of beneficial microbes and the development of rumen papillae. This allows calves to start utilizing solid feed earlier, leading to better feed efficiency and smoother weaning.

Supports Strong Immunity & Healthy Growth

- A well-nourished calf is better equipped to fight off disease. These pellets provide a balanced blend of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that strengthen the immune system, reduce susceptibility to illness, and support steady, healthy growth during this vulnerable stage.

Encourages Early Feed Intake

- The highly palatable formulation makes it easier for young calves to start consuming solid feed at an early age. Early feed intake not only supports rumen development but also reduces dependency on milk, helping farmers manage feeding costs while maintaining optimal growth rates.

Build a Strong Foundation for Future Performance

- By investing in proper nutrition during the early stages, farmers set their calves up for improved growth, better health, and enhanced productivity as they mature into high-performing animals.

IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATING YOUR GILTS AND SOWS

Vaccinating sows and gilts is an important management practice in pig production. It protects breeding animals from diseases and helps produce healthy piglets, good growth and higher farm profits. Disease prevention enables you to reach performance targets in pig production. Such as high farrowing rates, increased average number of piglets born per sow, increased number of piglets born alive per litter, low pre-weaning piglet mortality, increased piglets weaned per sow per year, improved feed efficiency and achieving target age at market weight.

Why You Should Vaccinate Your Gilts and Sows

1. Protects your sows, gilts and piglets from diseases
Vaccination protects breeding pigs and piglets from common diseases affecting production such as:
• Parvovirus
• Leptospirosis
• Erysipelas
• E.coli (diarrhoea in piglets)

Healthy sows and gilts are able to maintain good reproductive performance.

2. Improved reproductive performance of your gilts and sows
Vaccination helps prevent reproductive problems such as:
• Abortions
• Stillbirths
• Mummified foetuses
• Embryonic deaths
• Weak piglets at birth
• Infertility
This helps farmers achieve higher litter sizes and stronger piglets.

3. Protects piglets through maternal immunity

Vaccinated sows produce strong antibodies in their colostrum (first milk). When piglets drink this milk after birth, they receive early gut protection against diseases such as E.coli diarrhoea which causes piglet mortalities during the first weeks of life.

4. Reduced piglet mortality

When sows are properly vaccinated, piglets are born healthier and stronger, which reduces death rates during the early stages of life.

*5. Improved growth and productivity*

Healthy piglets grow faster, utilize feed efficiently and reach market weight on time. This improves overall herd productivity.

6. Prevents economic losses

Disease outbreaks in breeding pigs can cause losses due to:
Poor reproduction, poor market weights, loss of piglets and increased treatment costs. Vaccination helps farmers avoid these losses and improve profitability. *Vaccination must go together with good nutrition, good management and strong biosecurity for maximum productivity.*
