LifeStart is a science-based platform for dairy calves that deals with the critical first months of a dairy calf’s life. LifeStart research has shown that metabolic programming during the first weeks of life has a big impact on organ development, leading to a more robust cow with an increased performance later in life.
The NWF LifeStart approved milk replacers are formulated to provide outstanding nutrition with carefully selected milk solids, a balanced blend of oils and a full supplement of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to support accelerated calf growth.
