Supporting farm animal care and performance

As the world of feed and nutrition innovation shifts further into 2018, one of the key areas of advancement is with milk replacers.

A leading example of the next generation options available are DeLuxe milk replacers and Milk-Bits™ milk-based pellets, which include options for dairy calves, beef calves, piglets, lambs and kid-goats. These options are developed locally by Canadian Nurs-ette Distributors Ltd. and available through Country Junction Feeds.

"Today we are seeing a new level of science-driven innovation in milk replacers that offers multi benefits for the animals, for the producer and for meeting the requirements of the marketplace," says ruminant nutritionist Bernie Grumpelt. "It's a great time to take a fresh look at milk replacers."

Leading options such as the the Nurs-ette offerings feature numerous advantages. To name a few:

  • All natural
