Heiferlac
Developed specifically for the modern dairy heifer calf and offers very high levels of pure dairy protein, lactose and a specially selected blend of vegetable oils. Heiferlac has been formulated after careful consideration of the effect the first few weeks of life can have on the modern dairy cow when she joins the milking herd. It helps deliver the rapid early frame growth necessary to achieve high target weights to bulling and beyond. Ideal for once and twice a day feeding, cold ad-lib (pH 5.8) and some ad-lib systems requiring an instant mixing powder. Heiferlac is available as an instant mixing milk powder in 20 kg bags. Mixing rate150 grams of milk replacer in one litre of mixed milk (ie 15% solids, equivalent to one and a half pounds in one gallon of mixed milk).
