Make Calving Season
a Little Easier By: Kenzie Smith, Resale Product Advisor
With calving season in full swing, it is important to be prepared for anything. GENEX has two life event products to help get your calves off to a great start: Push™ calf nutritional paste and Genesis 150 Colostrum Replacer. Push™ calf nutritional paste is a blend of highly digestible globulin proteins and energy components (such as milkfat from colostrum) developed to help calves overcome disease challenges and low energy reserves. By combining high levels of fat and proteins, the calf can have a balanced blend of these two key colostrum components immediately following birth. Push™ calf nutritional paste contains the natural fatty acids found in colostral fat to give the calf a boost of energy. These fatty acids are designed by nature to help the calf thrive. In addition, it contains naturally found colostrum components (peptides and cytokines) that help prime the immune system beyond the globulin proteins everyone is familiar with.
Genesis 150 Colostrum Replacer provides everything the newborn calf needs in just one feeding, so the second feeding can be colostrum, milk or milk replacer. This product provides 150 grams of globulin proteins, essential to newborn calves for optimal nutrition and health, and they can only be absorbed by the calf shortly after birth. This product has a guarantee of 45% protein and 20% fat, ensuring the calf receives enough energy and nutrients right from the start. Genesis Colostrum Replacer Comes in the Perfect Udder Package The Perfect Udder package is a clean, safe and easy method of feeding. The package contains a premeasured dose of colostrum replacer. Just add water to the fill line, shake for 30 seconds, then screw on either the tube or nipple to feed the calf. Once the colostrum is completely administered everything can be thrown away. It’s that easy!
This product does not replace colostrum! However, the specialized formula is complementary to colostrum, so it can be used at birth to further enhance the benefits of colostrum. Push™ calf nutritional paste helps increase the energy and antibodies absorbed from colostrum. The benefits are not limited to the period immediately following birth. Have a calf that is depressed, not eating, coming off of a disease, transported any distance or just needs a push? Then Push™ calf nutritional paste was designed for them! Feed if a calf is: Recovering from disease or infection. Not consuming adequate feed and acting lethargic. Transported over some distance, has become less alert and seems depressed. Scouring, not eating and losing weight. Not consuming colostrum immediately following birth. Depressed and has little interest in standing within the first hour of life. As mentioned, Push calf nutritional paste does not replace colostrum. However, if you are in need of a colostrum replacer, GENEX has you covered. Genesis 150 Colostrum Replacer is fed instead of maternal colostrum, when colostrum is unavailable or is of questionable quality. ™
Genesis 150 Colostrum Replacer is available in the Perfect Udder® package, which makes feeding fast, easy, clean and safe. FAST: With only three steps and a quick dissolving formula, you can feed it to the calf in minutes! EASY: With a premeasured dose of replacer already inside and a fill window on the back, mixing couldn’t be any easier. CLEAN: Disposable packaging helps minimize opportunity for contamination and disease transfer between calves. SAFE: Genesis 150 Colostrum Replacer utilizes first milking colostrum that is carefully collected, handled and pasteurized to ensure product integrity.
