STUDIES SHOW
When calves are raised outdoors in cold weather they need extra fat to help maintain energy and gain weight.
Many calves die in cold weather from a simple lack of enough fat to maintain body heat and energy.
University research has concluded that calves exposed to temperatures below 59° F will need 10% more energy for each 10° F of temperature decrease.
Calf Energizer
Calf Energizer is a concentrated high quality, high energy, instant mixing fat-source for calves.
COLD WEATHER FACTS
- Calves have thin hair coats and very little subcutaneous body fat and are, therefore, vulnerable to body heat loss.
- Cold stress adversely effects the calves’ digestive abilities.
- Cold stressed calves will often shiver, show signs of weakness, experience a loss of appetite, poor performance and even death.
