20kg bag of Olympian Instant

Practical on farm trial work with pre-weaned beef calves reared on a commercial unit in Sussex has confirmed the potential of new Olympian Instant milk replacer to deliver healthy, highly cost-effective calf growth up until weaning.

Dairy origin Angus beef calves born during January and February 2025 received a total of 30.5kg of milk replacer over 42 days and weighed 99kg on average at weaning. With calves averaging 0.95kg per day up to weaning. For more information on our Olympian trial work visit our Resources page.

Electrolytes

Feed for Growth Electrolytes - designed for situations requiring hydration


What does it do?
Supports water uptake from the intestines - which replaces lost fluids and rehydrates the calf. The sweetened flavour enhances palatability which helps to promote water consumption contributing to starter feed intake and supporting rumen development.

When to use
Use to hydrate healthy calves during stressful periods, such as cold or heat stress, before weaning, and before or after transportation

Supplementary feed for calves, dairy cows, lambs and kids

Gut Rest

Feed for Growth Gut Rest - to support digestive disturbances


Feed for Growth Gut Rest contains linseed and pectins, combined with an electrolyte, which helps to rehydrate and support gut function and the intestinal immune system in youngstock which are suffering from scour.

What does it do?
Linseed and pectins work in combination to create a viscous solution which helps to slow down the digestive system which provides more time for the animal to take up fluids (water) and nutritents from the intestines, aiding rehydration. It also helps to thicken the faeces giving the gut time to rest and recover.

When to use
Use when animals are suffering digestive disturbances resulting in water losss and/or dehydration - can also be used as a first feed for bought in calves.

Complementary feed for calves, lambs and goat kids
