As calves move onto lush summer pasture, changes in grass quality and rumen function can increase the risk of digestive upsets, including summer scour. Summer scour syndrome can impair rumen function, reducing the calf’s ability to produce essential B vitamins naturally.
Standard B vitamins are broken down in the rumen, but micro encapsulation of the vitamins allows the calf to use them effectively.
To help support calves during this period, Uniblock is adding protected Vitamin B1Â to three of its popular products throughout the summer months:
Â
• Vitulix
• Calf to Beef
• Beef Booster
Â
Vitamin B1 plays an important role in supporting normal rumen function and helping calves cope with the challenges associated with grazing lush grass. By providing this additional nutritional support during the higher-risk summer period, Uniblock aims to help calves maintain digestive stability and continue thriving at grass.Â
Look out for the B1 Sticker on buckets to make sure you are getting the new improved formula.Â
Speak to your local Uniblock merchant for more information on the range and how these products can support your calves throughout the grazing season.
