Finisher Calf Milk Replacer
A low cost non curding CMR designed to be used after 3 – 4 weeks of age and following the use of standard CMR.
It may also be used as a 50:50 combination with liquid whole milks at 4 days of age following colostrum to assist in reducing rearing costs.
It may also be mixed in to boost liquid whole milk. i.e 125g mixed into 1 litre of whole milk results in the equivalent of 2 litres of whole milk.
