Independent Trials on Precision Microbes
"An investigation into the effect of probiotic supplementation on the prevalence and severity of Cryptosporidium infections in young calves." by May Allan (2024)
Reduced Crypto prevalence
Calves on Precision Microbes had significantly fewer Cryptosporidium-positive tests than control calves.
1.83-point reduction in scour severity
Treated calves experienced noticeably milder diarrhoea.
Improved daily weight gain
Daily weight gain increased by an average of 0.239 kg.
Feed Intake / Temperature
Treated calves drank more milk and had more stable body temperatures, indicating lower disease burden.
An "Investigation into How Probiotics Aid the Health of Neonatal Calves in an Irish Dairy System." by Michael O’Mahony (2025)
Lower Antibiotic Usage
Only 1 probiotic calf required antibiotics (unrelated to gut issues), compared with 5 calves in the control group — an 80% reduction in treatments.
Improved Growth Performance
Calves receiving Precision Microbes achieved higher average daily gain, with a 6.65% improvement over the control group.
Higher Feed Intake
Probiotic-treated calves showed stronger appetite and higher voluntary milk intake, even when exposed to Cryptosporidium pressure.
Reduction in Scour Severity
Precision Microbes significantly reduced the severity of diarrhoea, lowering scour scores by 1.83 units
Other independent trials conducted by veterinary consultants across six dairy farms assessed the impact of Precision Microbes on calf weight gain. These practical, farmer-focused studies compared treated calves directly with control groups, consistently showing positive results in calf growth.
Farmers reported noticeable improvements using Precision Microbes, reinforcing findings from additional independent research. These trials highlight Precision Microbes as a reliable option for enhancing calf health and farm productivity.

FAQ
1: Can this product be mixed with milk replacers or other feed?
Yes, they can be mixed through whole milk or milk replacer without any issues. They can also be added to electrolyte solutions being fed orally or through stomach tubes for sick calves.
2: Is there a need to adjust the dosage based on the calf’s weight?
The standard dose of 30ml daily is effective for all young pre-weaned calves. During digestive upsets, double the dose to 60ml daily for 5-7 days, depending on the severity of the digestive upset, then revert to 30ml daily.
3: Are these products suitable for all breeds of calves?
Yes, they can be given to all calves from the day of birth.
4: How do these products differ from other microbial products available for calves?
These are liquid formulations with live beneficial microorganisms in a dormant phase, housed in a pH-controlled medium. They also contain postbiotic metabolites, which are crucial for maintaining gut health.
5: Can these products be used alongside other supplements or medications?
Yes, they can be used during and alongside other medications including antibiotics.
6: What is the shelf-life of this product?

The Gut Microbiome
Precision Microbes Probiotic & Postbiotic for Calves
Seventy percent of the immune function is thought to be in the digestive tract of animals. We at Precision Microbes know how important a healthy gut is in young calves.
The immunity in the gut is controlled by the billions of microbes (the microbiome) that interact with local intestinal cells and the immune system.
A healthy microbiome ensures that digestive function and immune function are working optimally. Our team of experts has created a unique probiotic and postbiotic liquid solution to ensure that calves achieve optimal gut function and health.
Our formulation of essential plant extracts, good bacteria, and postbiotics provides an excellent gut stabilizer for calves’ recovery from digestive upsets.
Fast Action
This liquid probiotic solution provides a high concentration of live bacteria that immediately stabilize the calves’ gut microbiome.
These live bacteria mean rapid action compared to freeze-dried products, which can take up to 24-36 hours before they are active.
The feedback from vets and farmers has been very positive since we launched into the Irish market.
A veterinary surgeon must assess each case or outbreak.
We see issues with viral, bacterial, and cryptosporidium parvum. Our product can help aid and speed up recovery.
Why it works so well?
The solution does this by containing both the right blend of probiotics and postbiotics. The probiotics help heal the gut lining and bind pathogens. It also helps quickly restore good local immune function.
In gut stabilisation, our unique blend of plant extracts and postbiotics, like short-chain fatty acids, is beneficial to gut health.
Our expert team is taking years of experience in microbes, working with vets and farmers to find innovative natural solutions to some of our biggest on-farm challenges.
Calf diarrhoea accounts for up to 60% of all mortality in young calves under 12 weeks. We can play our part to improve the welfare and the health of calves by focusing on good gut health.
