Calf Start is a natural preventative formula designed to support digestive health and help protect newborn calves against scours, crypto, E. coli, and Salmonella during the critical first weeks of life. This carefully crafted formula combines OMRI-approved reed sedge peat with tinctures of garlic, slippery elm, and cayenne, plus vitamin C in organic grain alcohol, each ingredient selected for its traditional role in supporting gut health and natural immune defenses in young calves. OMRI-approved reed sedge peat is a natural material known for its ability to bind pathogens and toxins in the digestive tract, helping support a healthy gut environment from the very first feedings. Garlic provides natural antimicrobial botanical support. Slippery elm is widely recognized for its soothing and protective properties in the digestive tract, helping support healthy gut lining in newborn calves. Cayenne supports healthy circulation and helps enhance the bioavailability of the other botanicals in the formula. Vitamin C provides additional antioxidant and immune care during the vulnerable early weeks of life. Calf Start is administered every second or third feeding into milk or colostrum for the first four weeks of life, making it easy to incorporate into any newborn calf care protocol.
