Give’em the GOOD STUFF!
Single-Use, No Clean-up, Bio-Secure
Tired of dirty, leaky, messy bottles of partially dissolved colostrum? Fed up with electrolyte products that turn to unusable rocks after being opened?
Try Oxford Ag’s Electrolyte and Colostrum products in the Perfect Udder® Feeding System and you will never tear the top off of another foil pouch again.
It’s 2:30 in the morning, and one of your heifers just delivered her very first calf.
This newborn must learn how to use muscles it has never stretched, breathe air into lungs that have never before expanded, and by instinct alone, find its first meal – quickly. The mother has been preparing this meal for the past several weeks. This is no ordinary meal. It’s colostrum, and it is the most important meal of the calf’s life.
As warm colostrum flows into the calf, it provides the heat necessary to get it going. Vitamins A and E are present at levels 6-10X higher than that of regular milk, and it provides a depot of other minerals as well. Fat and protein levels far exceed that of a normal meal, dispensing the needed energy to get all systems up and running. Most importantly for the calf, the colostrum contains maternal antibodies, or immunoglobulins (Ig), and other critical immune factors that will serve as the defense system for the calf through the first months of life. Without these immunoglobulins, the new baby has no immune system to combat bacterial, viral and parasite challenges. This process is called Passive Transfer and life for the calf depends on this wholesale stockpiling of nutrients and immune factors.
All Calves are Born WITHOUT an Immune System.
It is estimated that of the calf deaths occurring in the first 3 weeks of life, approximately a third are due to inadequate colostrum intake.
It’s SIMPLE!
Just FILL, SHAKE & FEED.
Fill
Remove the cap, then add warm water to the “FILL” line.
Shake
Replace the cap, then “SHAKE” for 30 seconds to mix.
Feed
Remove the cap. Attach a Nipple or FeedTube and feed the calf.
Skip the Cleanup!
Colostrum is very high in fat and protein content which makes it nearly impossible to clean from surfaces.
- Use of plastic bottles is discouraged for this reason. This also saves on the labor and cost of chemicals used to try to clean bottles.
- Perfect Udder® bags are intended to be used one time and then discarded or recycled.
- Similarly, the nipples and esophageal tubes are difficult to clean. This is the reason that each new kit of Perfect Udder® bags comes with a new set of your favored feeding attachments. This limits the number of times that these devices will be used and therefore cuts down on contamination to the calf.
It’s Simple!
All you need is a thermos of warm water, and you’re ready. We just happen to have one that keeps water hot for over 8 hours!
