Dry total mixed ration from Schaumann for calf introduced

Schaumann has developed Kalbi TMR - a dry TMR which combines short-chopped alfalfa hay, highly digestible concentrate components and Kalvicin Pro ATG (high-grade mineral feed for calves) with the Schaumann probiotic Provita Le and the organically bound trace elements Aminotrace and Ceravital to support the digestion of nutrients.

The early intake of tasty and highly digestible basic fodder and concentrates is key to optimum rumen development in calves and the use of a dry TMR has been tried, tested and confirmed over the years.

Kalbi TMR provides nutrition tailored to the needs of fast-growing, healthy calves. Daily weight gains were increased by 10% in the rearing of both male and female calves.

The product is suitable for feeding from individual penning. During the main drinking phase, Kalbi TMR is used in addition to milk; and towards the end of milk drinking it is blended with the cow TMR, at a dosage of 50 kg/calf.
