Description
CONVERT BIG Calf Powder is a calf probiotic and direct-fed microbial supplement formulated to support dairy, beef, and beef-on-dairy calf digestive health, calf growth, and feed intake during the critical pre-weaning period. It contains beneficial bacteria, egg-based specialized proteins, and enzymes that help calves better utilize nutrients, maintain intestinal integrity, and support immune function.
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.
