Newborn calves need to get on their feet and get colostrum into their immature immune systems within the first few hours of life if they are going to obtain the passive immunity they need. Whether nursing its mother or hand-fed in a calf hutch, every newborn calf needs Nursemate® ASAP.
Nursemate® is made from concentrated colostrum. The naturally occurring components found in colostrum are just what newborn calves need while on the ground, before nursing or being fed colostrum.
Nursemate® comes in an easy to use 30 mL tube. No pails, no mixing and no feeding tubes. Just put the tip of the dosing syringe on the back of the calf’s tongue and push the plunger slowly.
Dosage and AdministrationAdminister entire tube as soon after birth as possible. Additional feedings as needed. Administer at body temperature.
Storage:To maintain maximum freshness, refrigerate or store in a cool place. Nursemate® can be kept at room temperature for several months without adverse effects.
