Sprayfo Vitesse

Sprayfo Vitesse calf milk replacer has been scientifically formulated to leverage a calf’s genetic potential – ensuring optimal growth and health pre-weaning.

Highly digestible, Sprayfo Vitesse helps stimulate calves to seek out concentrates, thus boosting rumen development. It is ideal for farmers seeking accelerated beef calf or dairy heifer growth rates.

Very palatable to calves, Sprayfo Vitesse can be used either as a sole milk source or to fortify/enrich cow’s milk to provide a higher plane of nutrition.

Like all Sprayfo calf milk replacers, Sprayfo Vitesse is scientifically formulated for a calf’s digestive system and uniquely spray dried to ensure consistency, stability, solubility, and digestibility.

Sprayfo milk replacers include prebiotics, probiotics, organic acids and natural vitamin E.

Sprayfo Vitesse_product_pie-chart

Sprayfo Vitesse calf milk replacer is a high quality, curding milk replacer, suitable for feeding to calves from 3-4 days* old.

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

  • Organic acids for a healthy abomasum

  • Natural vitamin E and Selenium for a higher level of resistance

  • Butyric acid for strong small intestines and good rumen development

  • And a prebiotic for stable flora in the large intestines.

Produced with homogenised and spray-dried encapsulated fat, Sprayfo Vitesse calf milk replacer will enhance calf growth, with less risk of scouring and better mixing. The formulation also ensures better suspension and less fat build up in milk-feeding equipment.

 

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

Comparative trial: Sprayfo Vitesse vs standard calf milk replacer

In this trial, Sprayfo Vitesse was fed according to the LifeStart protocol (more grams powder/L milk for a higher plane of nutrition) and tested versus a standard calf milk replacer (per the prescribed feeding schedule of that product) to compare growth performance and faecal scores of female calves.

Trial

Carried out Sept - Dec 2016 at the Trouw Nutrition calf rearing facilities in the Netherlands.

Reared under the same conditions and fed the same quantity (in litres) of calf milk replacer (CMR) for 9 weeks, the two groups of calves were weighed weekly. Faecal scoring was also done weekly.

Note: the average birth weight of the Sprayfo calves was 1.5kg less than those in the other group.

Conclusion

  • Calves on Sprayfo Vitesse showed a higher growth from birth until weaning at 9 weeks, when compared to traditional calf milk replacer application.

  • Feeding 12% more milk solids of a higher quality resulted in 19% higher average daily gain.

  • Feed efficiency improved by 6%, compared to traditional calf milk replacer.

  • Calves on Sprayfo Vitesse showed less loose faeces, which supports the improvement of feed efficiency.
