There’s lots of old wives tales and mysterious concoctions around calf rearing.
At Milk Bar we like to deal in facts.Â
At Milk Bar® we are dedicated to designing products that improve animal health and are user friendly. We have invested a lot of time and energy into research to really understand what goes on when a calf is fed with different methods. We want you to know how different feeding methods affect the calf so you can make an informed decision on your farm.
These interesting research studies have been undertaken with clinical controls to really identify the truth from the guesswork. If you have any questions or would like more information, please drop us a line!
