ProACT Powder
Dairy in Saskatchewan that have 800 cows. In the past they were experiencing scouring calves. The condition was due to Rotavirus. Basically every calf once on milk replacer would have scours.
Once they added the ProACT powder to the milk replacer
daily, there have been a significant decrease in diarrhea. Maybe 1/30 calves will have scours now as
opposed to every calf. These producers
are happy with the product and continue to buy it.
Another dairy producer told me that he could see a difference in the haircoat when his calves were on product. They looked healthier. He also commented that he treats less for diarrhea. And he said that they do not have the potbelly look when on ProACT in the milk replacer.
Intended Use
Use
of product in swine barns has focused on sows. The powder is given in
the ration 3-5 days prior to farrowing and then throughout lactation.
What has been noticed is that the sows are less likely to decrease feed
consumption, are healthier and breed back at a higher rate. The piglets
have been noticed to be weaning at higher weights.
