Salesian agricultural college sees the benefits of Precision Microbes calf pro and postbioitcs
Veterinary consultant Tommy Heffernan visited Salesian Agricultural College in Co Limerick.
They began using Precision Microbes calf pro and postbiotics this spring mid-way through calving.
They had a scour outbreak in younger calves.
They decided to put the Hefier shed on long-term feeding of microbes daily 30mls per calf through their Holm and Laue calf feeder with really good results.
Their other feeders couldn’t feed the product so they used it to help calves recover with 60mls orally for 5 days as part of a supportive regime.
They have seen good results in both groups for treatments and in the heifer’s long term.
They have ordered dosing pumps for their feeders for next year.
They are very happy with the results they have seen this year and will be using Precision Microbes from birth on all calves long-term next year.
