    Background As a major energy source, fat is an important element to consider in a calf milk replacer.

Fat, however, has other nutritional effects beyond a source…

    • Sep 15, 2020
    • By Grober Nutrition
    • In Canada

    As calf research continues to progress, we are better able to intervene at key moments to positively alter a calf’s outcome. For instance, we know that testing maternal colostrum with a refractometer gives us the ability to ensure the calf will receive enough immunoglobulins in the first meal to reduce…

PROMIKS - putting the whole in whole milk 🍼🐄 PROMIKS - putting the whole in whole milk 🍼🐄

If you're feeding whole milk to your calves, you need Promiks. Whole milk is deficient in several essential vitamins and minerals that calves need. Promiks is a vitamin and mineral supplement to be added to whole milk to make up for those nutrients which are lacking. 

Head to the link in our bio to learn more about Promiks or ask your local Grober dealer to purchase.

What is A+ milk replacer? A+ refers to mildly acid What is A+ milk replacer? A+ refers to mildly acidified milk replacer.

We recommend using A+ when there are already good management practices in place, particularly around hygiene. Mob fed or automatic feeder fed lambs will benefit the most from A+.

In a kid goat research trial done at the #GYADC, scours and responsiveness to treatment were improved when fed A+.

To learn more about our LambGro A+ or KidGro A+ milk replacer formulas, head to our website or talk to your local Grober dealer.

Nipple or pail feeding - which is better? 🍼🐄 Nipple or pail feeding - which is better? 🍼🐄

Nipple feeding allows calves to be in a natural drinking position with the neck fully extended, slanted downwards from the shoulder and head tilted up. It also reduces ruminal drinking and slows down consumption, enhancing saliva production. 

But pail feeding is convenient, allows you to feed a larger volume and pails are easier to clean than bottles. 

What's your vote - nipple or pail feeding?

Head to the link in our bio to read our latest #GroFact which covers the full debate.

🚨PACKAGING UPDATE: We have discontinued our A+ 🚨PACKAGING UPDATE: We have discontinued our A+ bags. 

Throughout the pandemic, like many paper products, milk replacer bags faced supply shortages and delays. In order to combat this, improve our supply chain and order filling efficiency, we have decided to discontinue our 'A+' specific bags. Starting this week, all A+ milk replacer products will be packaged in our regular Grober bags. As always, the tag attached to the bag specifies the product and mixing instructions and tag colours for A+ products will remain the same. 

We are always working to improve, whether its our formulas, or our packaging. This change will help us to fill orders more efficiently and ensure we maintain a large stock of bags on site. 
While we're making bag changes, our regular Grober bags could use an update, don't you think? Stay tuned...
