Sprayfo Blue Premium calf milk replacer is a premium non-curding whey-based milk replacer, suitable for feeding to calves from 3-4 days* old under New Zealand’s environmental conditions.

It contains what we term a ‘safety package’ - consisting of:

An acid mix for a healthy abomasum
Immuno Active+ for a higher level of resistance
Villi Vital + probiotic for healthy small intestines
And a prebiotic for stable flora in the large intestines.

Sprayfo Blue Premium whey milk replacer contains hydrolysed wheat protein. Hydrolysed wheat protein is proven to have better digestive properties than other commonly used protein sources such as soy and therefore offers a safer option for young calves.

Produced with micronised encapsulated fat, Sprayfo Blue Premium whey calf milk replacer will enhance calf growth, with less risk of scouring and better mixing. The make-up also ensures better suspension and less fat build up in equipment.

* Calves should be fed colostrum for the first 3-4 days to boost their natural immune system.

Recommended calf feeding schedule

Always ensure each animal has adequate intake of colostrum in first 12 hours’ post birth (approx. 10% of its body weight).

Feed a minimum of 500g dry matter per calf per day.

You may choose to feed calves once daily or twice daily, depending on your operation and objectives. We recommend twice daily feeding for getting calves off to the best start – with higher initial average daily gain (ADG) and a routine that’s closer to how a calf would naturally feed.

Advantages of twice daily feeding

Easier to feed larger total volume over two feeds
Can achieve higher initial average daily growth (ADG) rates due to the ability to feed larger total volume and grams/calf/day
More natural; closer to how a calf would feed from its mother
Being in the shed twice daily provides more opportunities to identify any issues, eg. slow drinkers, scours, navel infections, etc

Twice daily feeding schedule
Age	Quantity	Mixing rate	Total CMR/day
0 – 4 days	2 x 2 litres	-	Colostrum
5 – 21 days	2 x 2 litres	125 - 150g /litre	500 - 600 grams
22 – weaning	2 x 2.5 litres	125 - 150g /litre	625 - 750 grams

Advantages of once daily feeding

Faster rumen development
Less labour intensive

Once daily feeding schedule
Age	Quantity	Mixing rate	Total CMR/day
0 - 4 days	2x2L	Colostrum
5 – 14 days	2 x 2 litre	125 - 150g /litre	500 - 600 grams
15 - weaning	1 x 3 litre	200 - 250g /litre	600 – 750 grams

Mixing instructions

Always follow feeding instructions provided. If in doubt, please contact your AgriVantage Business Manager.
Heat all required water to 40-42°C
Start stirring water, then slowly add milk replacer powder, mixing for 2 to 4 minutes*
Best drinking temperature 38-39°C

*Mix to make up a litre, NOT on top of a litre, eg. add 150g milk powder to 850mL water to make 1L milk replacer. This is an approximation.

Weaning instructions

Weaning can start when animals are a minimum of 65kg, or are 25kg above birthweight AND consuming 1kg concentrates per animal per day:

Slowly reduce concentration of milk replacer in overall volume consumed over 1-2 week period
Continue feeding concentrates at 1 - 2kg per day for at least a month.
