DairyWay Calf Starter

Starter ration for dairy calves

The first three months of a calf’s life are critical as their immune system and rumen are developing. DairyWay® Calf Starter is designed to optimize intake and support rumen development while calves are transitioning from a liquid diet to a solid diet.

DairyWay Calf Starter provides your dairy calves with the carbohydrates and energy they need for growth and the minerals and vitamins they need for strong bones and good health.

  • Highly palatable to encourage consumption by young calves
  • Fortified with the proper balance of vitamins and minerals that young calves need
  • Supports growth, muscle development and healthy weights
  • Proper blend of protein and fiber supports rumen development
