VitaPak–Dairy is a feed supplement containing dried colostrum to be incorporated into the diet of dairy cows.
In recent field trials in Southwest Wisconsin, five dairy farms tested VitaPak–Dairy. Two years later, four of the five farms continue to use VitaPak–Dairy.
Three of the areas where all five farms saw an improvement were: 1) Stronger estrus cycles; 2) Increase in persistence of production throughout lactation; and 3) Fewer bovine mastitis cases and less withholding of milk. Three of the farms reported a decrease in somatic cell counts. View the chart showing the results of these tests by clicking the link below:
Most growers today use significant quantities of drugs to ward off infection and improve production. VitaPak–Grow is a natural product proven to enhance the immune system, increasing resistance to bacterial and viral infections and to improve body mass development.
Controlled studies have shown that supplementation of the diet of calves with small daily doses of VitaPak–Grow resulted in a statistically significant improvement in lean body mass, disease incidence and survival. At the start of one study, 64% of the calves had a significant deficiency in circulating IgG levels (<1000mg/dl). No supplementary IgG preparations were given to these animals to rectify this deficiency.
At the end of the 21-week growing period, daily dietary supplementation of calves with VitaPak–Grow resulted in an average body weight of 475.9 lbs. compared to 446.8 lbs. for control animals, an average 29.1 lb. increase.
