Dairy Starter

Dairy Starter is an all-in-one pelleted feed optimised to start heifer calves off strong. Dairy Starter is a high protein feed suitable for young growing calves from week one.


Dairy Starter supplies a balanced profile of grains, roughage, protein, vitamins and minerals to supply essential nutrients to growing calves. This complete feed helps to support the early development of young calves, aiding in immune health, growth and rumen development.


Dairy Starter is a highly palatable ration that promotes rumen development in young dairy calves, getting them on track to develop into healthy, productive dairy cows. It also contains natural plant antioxidants to support immune health and aid in combating gut pathogens (such as Salmonella and E. coli) and coccidiosis to improve health and performance.
