The Additional profit of the farmer when using milk replacer can obtain primarily because these compounds are cheaper than milk in 1.5-2 times.
Of Course, there is this species forages for calves not only advantages. The disadvantages of the use of milk replacer for calves, instructions for which preparation is simple, many farmers include:
Are Made of such compounds in plants using whole blood and eggs. This somewhat increases the cost of fattening calves. In the production of milk replacer mainly used in the technology of extrusion of raw materials (peas, flax, barley). This technique, unfortunately, is not perfect. Protein in the process of preparing a mixture of partially decomposed. And this, in turn, leads to reduced absorption of food by the organism of calves.
Stored milk replacer is not too long, primarily because it contains quite a large amount of fat. To keep that kind of mix before feeding is allowed no more than 1-3 months. Sometimes the composition of the milk replacer is further added Flour from the seeds of the tomatoes. This allows to increase the shelf life of the mixture to 12 months.
Before buying a milk replacer from the manufacturer, the farmer, be sure to read the label of the feed. Quality is only one whole milk substitute, which contains:
If a WMS contains too much fiber, nutrients absorbed by the calves are not in full. The fact that this component is able to swell in the intestine, resulting in overflow.
If the MS includes flax seed, from shopping, you may even want to give up. Extract of this product can have an astringent effect on the gastrointestinal tract of young animals. It is not necessary to acquire and mixtures containing soybean flour. This product is usually included in milk replacer only cheap. In the presence of soy meal in the feed of calves can cause serious problems with his digestion. This slows down the development of the young
In Addition to the labels, when choosing a milk replacer the farmer should pay attention to the color of the mixture. The whiter it is, the more in the feed contains lactose and dairy products.
Most Often on the market Milk replacer for calves pRetained in a dry form. But sometimes manufacturers produce a liquid product of the variety. Such compositions are made with skim milk or its mixture with buttermilk or whey. Mixing with water this kind of milk replacer is not necessary.

Vikarm calves in a cheap mix, of course, allow the farmer to reduce the cost of maintaining the animals. However, the composition of such mixtures usually is not too high quality. And therefore, to achieve good results productivity from cattle, fed on them in the future is unlikely to succeed. Many farmers believe that it is better to overpay a little, but not to have problems later with the development of young and his health.
All the above manufacturers supply the domestic market, according to the farmers, quite a quality product. The advantages of milk replacer «Prolak-16”, for example, farm owners cattle include low cost and qualitative composition. Dairy products in milk replacer this manufacturer includes 62 %, and plant — 16 %. The only — to dissolve a mixture of “Prolak-16” according to the instructions on the label of the experienced farmers do not advise. Otherwise the animals can saponite.
