Proactive Support for Neonatal Calves
Neonatal calves face immense physiological stress in their first few weeks, making them vulnerable to common but costly health challenges. StressX CALF is a multi-functional supplement designed to provide targeted nutritional support, fortifying their natural defenses and promoting a healthy start to life.
Primary Health Challenges in Early Life
This chart illustrates the leading causes of morbidity in neonatal calves, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive gut and immune support.
A Three-Pillar Approach to Calf Health
Our formula is built on three synergistic pillars of support. Click on each pillar to explore the specific ingredients and their vital roles in promoting calf resilience.
Rapid Rehydration & Energy
Delivers essential electrolytes and energy to combat dehydration and metabolic acidosis associated with scours.
Gut Health Core
Establishes a healthy gut microbiome to enhance nutrient absorption and form a robust barrier against pathogens.
Immune Support Matrix
Provides key components to prime and support the calf's developing immune system for a rapid response.
Synergistic Formulation Details
Each ingredient in StressX CALF is chosen for its specific function and its ability to work in harmony with others. Click a category below for a detailed breakdown.
💧 Rehydration & Energy
- Balanced ElectrolytesReplenishes vital minerals (Na, K, Cl) lost during scours.
- DextroseProvides immediate energy and enhances water and electrolyte absorption.
- Sodium AcetateCombats metabolic acidosis without interfering with milk digestion.
🌿 Gut Health Core
- Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS)Binds to pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella and Crypto, preventing them from attaching to the gut wall.
- Tannin ComplexCondensed & hydrolysed tannins create a protective gut layer and inhibit pathogens.
- Multiple Bacillus spp.A blend of beneficial bacteria that improves gut integrity and outcompetes pathogenic bacteria.
🛡️ Immune Support Matrix
- Yeast Beta-GlucansPrimes the innate immune system for a faster, more effective response to threats.
- Vitamins A, B, D & EEssential for mucosal integrity, immune modulation, antioxidant protection, and energy metabolism.
- Chelated Trace Minerals(Se, Zn, Cu) Crucial for immune cell development and function.
Application Protocol
StressX CALF is a water-soluble powder designed for easy administration. Follow these protocols for optimal results.
Prophylactic Use (Daily Support)
To provide continuous support and build resilience during the critical first few weeks of life.
- Timing: First 14-21 days of life.
- Dosage: One measured dose per calf, per day.
- Method: Mix one dose directly into the calf's daily milk or milk replacer feeding. Ensure it is fully dissolved.
During Scours (Targeted Intervention)
When a calf shows signs of scours, immediate rehydration and gut support are crucial.
- Action: Temporarily replace milk feedings with an oral electrolyte solution.
- Dosage: Mix one dose of StressX CALF into 2 quarts of electrolyte solution.
- Method: Feed 2 quarts of the mixture twice daily for 2 days. Gradually reintroduce milk on the third day, co-feeding with the supplement mixture.
