Benefits
1. Better animal health management
DIGEXTRA BB’s favourable effect on the calf’s intestinal integrity and immune system increases its strength and growth. It helps to keep the known challenges in beef rearing in check. A healthy intestinal function is a necessary condition for an optimal nutrition conversion and an efficient immune system which in turn reduces the incidence of many common diseases.
2. Improved farm economics
DIGEXTRA BB increases growth and contributes to reducing the incidence of diseases and the need for antibiotic and other medical treatments. Increased productivity and reduced treatment costs are key factors for improved farm economics. Furthermore, thanks to firmer feces the workload for farmers and the bad smell in stables is reduced. The farmer ends up with more free time.
3. Compliance with public and regulatory requirements
With growing public and governmental pressure to limit the unnecessary use of antibiotics it is important for veterinarians and farmers alike to reduce the use of such treatments where they can be avoided in order to have them available where essentially needed. DIGEXTRA BB can significantly contribute achieving this goal.
