After many years using top brand calf meals, in the spring of 2020 we had a nagging disappointed feeling that our calves just weren’t doing as well as they should have been, and changed to NOURISH™ calf meal.
We’ve been rearing large numbers of calves for 28 years, on various methods, but have refined it down to a milk exclusion, high meal input system to rear over 400 calves a year now. Historically our calves had done well, but we felt they should have been better, for the amount of meal that was going in.
"After using NOURISH™ calf meal by Ruminate, we have been thrilled with the results. Our calves are very even, with no smaller or poorer calves. The average across the line is to a very high standard. The initial slightly higher cost to NOURISH™ is diluted away in very efficient weight gain, both muscle and skeletal growth – obvious to the eye."
We are extremely happy with NOURISH™ and have found the perfect calf meal we’ve been looking for. Giving us peace of mind is a very important part of our farming enterprise. We believe we are getting very good bang for buck using NOURISH™ , overall reducing our rearing costs and giving us much better outcomes."
