When to use Provita Protect
At Birth Use as soon as possible after birth to establish a beneficial population of micro-organisms in the digestive tract. A calf's intestine which has been colonised by beneficial bacteria is less susceptible to infection from common farm pathogens which can cause major digestive upsets and scours.
Bought-in Calves Administer to bought-in calves on arrival at the farm. Bought-in calves are subjected to a great deal of stress, including separation from the dam, travel, coming into contact with other calves from a variety of sources and changes in diet. These factors increase the susceptibility of bought-in calves to disease by infection, which may be prevented by a dose of Provita Protect immediately on arrival.
