BioZyme launched VitaFerm Sure Start Gel for healthier newborn calves

BioZyme is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of animals, and its commitment to innovation has led to the development of VitaFerm Sure Start Gel.

This new product is designed to support the immune function and overall health of newborn calves during their critical early life stages.

The VitaFerm Sure Start Gel offers numerous advantages, ensuring a strong start for calves. It contains AO-Biotics  Amaferm, a scientifically backed prebiotic that promotes digestion by stimulating beneficial microbes in the gut. Additionally, the gel provides key nutritional support to enhance calf vigour, ensuring they are off to a healthy beginning.

Chris Cassady, director of beef technical sales of BioZyme said, “Getting calves off to the best start possible is paramount for their long-term health and, ultimately, your profitability. While a year-round VitaFerm program can improve colostrum quality, Sure Start Gel uses our new Broad-Shield technology to give an additional boost of immunity.”

A standout feature of the gel is its inclusion of IgY antibodies sourced from Salmonella, E. coli, bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, and Clostridium, along with MOS (Mannan Oligosaccharides). These components work together to provide broad-spectrum immune support, giving newborns the defence they need in the first days of life.

The gel comes in a convenient 30 mL tube and is administered after the calf has received colostrum. For optimal results, it should be given within the first 24 hours of birth. Daily administration is recommended as needed. The gel’s bright orange colour ensures it is easily identifiable, simplifying the administration process for farmers.

At BioZyme, the philosophy of care extends beyond the product itself. By supporting the health of newborn calves, VitaFerm Sure Start Gel contributes to the long-term productivity and health of the animal. A strong start leads to a healthy, high-performing animal, which in turn benefits farmers with improved growth and performance.

In line with BioZyme’s mission of creating a positive impact, VitaFerm Sure Start Gel is a key part of ensuring every calf gets the best possible start to life. The right beginning can make all the difference, so make it a Sure Start!

 “VitaFerm Sure Start Gel is research-proven to enhance the efficacy of the antibodies the cow naturally passes to her calf, giving your calves every chance to develop their immune system and capitalize on healthy, efficient performance,” Cassady added.
