Calves require quality colostrum or replacer immediately following birth. However, in many instances, quality colostrum is not available or the calf is unable to consume what it needs for the best start possible.

"StressMate's unique formulation is comprised of concentrated small proteins that are essential in helping to boost the calf's own natural or innate defense system," said Dr. Jennifer Trout, Technical Services Veterinarian for AgriLabs.

"When fed to young calves, even after gut closure, calves have an immediate source of essential immune supportive nutrients."

StressMate is packaged in convenient 250 mL bottles. It can be fed orally alone, or in milk, milk replacer or electrolyte solution. For newborn calves, feed 10 mL orally immediately following birth or as soon as possible afterwards. Then, continue feeding for at least two more days.

This product is available through AgriLabs' network of distribution partners and will be included in the AgriLabs' Healthy Difference Calf Care campaign. The Healthy Difference Program is designed to provide practical education with information prepared by veterinarians, about how newborn beef or dairy calves can start and stay healthy from birth through weaning.
