Why Herrema Dairy uses FerAppease®️

Use the digital refractometer to quickly evaluate colostrum quality using Brix measurements and help ensure calves receive the antibodies needed for strong immunity and successful passive transfer. Serum total protein testing also provides a valuable tool for monitoring calf health programs and evaluating colostrum management success across dairy operations.

The advanced COL STP MS HYD model expands functionality even further by measuring milk solids percentage and hydration, helping producers monitor calf nutrition consistency and support calf recovery efforts during stress or illness.

Both models are simple to operate, easy to clean, and compact enough to carry anywhere on the farm. Each unit includes a durable rubber protective jacket and a storage case for added protection and convenience.

• Test colostrum quality before feeding newborn dairy or beef calves
• Monitor passive transfer with serum total protein testing
• Measure milk solids concentration in calf feeding programs

Each dose contains 20 billion CFU of live, naturally occurring microorganisms, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and fungal extracts. These microbes help establish a beneficial microbial population in the rumen and intestinal tract, improving digestion and creating an environment that limits pathogen growth.

The inclusion of egg antibodies (IgY) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) helps bind and remove harmful pathogens, while vitamins C, E, and B with selenium yeast provide critical immune and metabolic support, especially important in young calves that cannot yet produce sufficient B vitamins on their own.

A key differentiator is the coated short-chain fatty acid, which bypasses the rumen to reach the lower gastrointestinal tract. This supports gut lining integrity, improves nutrient absorption, and helps prevent pathogen attachment.

Tri-Start Jr.+ is designed for targeted use during high-stress or high-risk periods, including:

• Following colostrum feeding
• At weaning
• After antibiotic treatment
• During digestive upset or scours
• After use of Tri-Purify
• During management stress:
  • Dehorning
  • Castration
  • Transport or shipping
  • Vaccination
  • Pen moves or grouping changes

Using a calf probiotic paste during these events helps maintain performance and reduces setbacks in growth and health.

Accel RS
Stressors for your calf don’t stop on day one and neither should your care. A single dose of Accel RS is your secret weapon in calf recovery. It’s like a sports drink for your newest four-legged addition. This kit includes two doses to be used during any periods of environmental change for your calf.>

Woolover™
When the weather starts to turn cold you put on a coat, your calf should too! The all-natural benefits of a Woolover calf coat keep your calf warm and dry through the cold, wet and windy seasons.

• Effectively keeps calves warm and dry in cold, wet, and windy conditions
• Breathable to avoid condensation buildup
• Translates nutrients into more growth
• Available in three sizes
  • Small fits Jersey calves (70-99lbs)
  • Medium fits newborn Holstein calves (100-120lbs)
  • Large fits calves between 3 weeks and 3 months old (120+lbs)

The direct-fed microbial blend helps establish a healthier digestive tract by supporting beneficial bacteria populations in the gut. This may help reduce intestinal pathogen growth, improve nutrient absorption, and support calf gut health during periods of scours, calf diarrhea, stress, poor appetite, or low starter feed intake.

Enzymes in CONVERT BIG Calf Powder aid in the breakdown of digesta, helping calves make better use of nutrients from milk, milk replacer, whole milk, and starter feed.

For dairy and beef calves, strong digestive health early in life can support calf:

• Appetite
• Starter feed intake
• Calf weight gain
• Average daily gain
• Weaning weight
• Calf respiratory health

Case studies have shown calves fed CONVERT BIG Calf Powder had greater average daily gain and weighed 10.5 pounds more at weaning compared to calves on a standard calf program. Calves in the CONVERT group also showed lower ultrasound lung lesion scores, suggesting better calf respiratory health and the potential for earlier weaning.

Feed from birth through weaning to support calves during transition periods, stress, and weaning challenges.

Restore, re-energize, recolonize, and rehydrate are the four pillars that define how Accel RS supports calves during critical recovery periods:

• Restore: Plasma proteins help repair the intestinal lining, reduce diarrhea severity, and improve gut integrity. These proteins include antibodies, growth factors, and antimicrobial compounds that support immune function.
• Re-energize: Glucose provides a readily available energy source, helping calves stand, nurse, and activate immune defenses while improving electrolyte absorption.
• Recolonize: Includes Tri-Mic WD, a source of live, viable, naturally occurring microorganisms that help repopulate the gut with beneficial bacteria and create a less favorable environment for pathogens.
• Rehydrate: Electrolytes restore fluid balance and help correct metabolic acidosis, protecting vulnerable intestinal tissue during dehydration events.

This combination makes Accel RS a go-to solution for calves experiencing scours or other stressors that disrupt hydration and digestion.
