Build lifetime performance – Win-wean

🐮 Weaning: a transition that shapes lifetime performance.

The calf starts its life as a monogastric and must become a fully functional ruminant in a few weeks. Succeeding this metabolic turn is decisive: from 40 kg at birth to over 200 kg at 6 months, every step counts.

A successful weaning relies on one golden formula, available from the very first days:
💧 Water – essential for rumen bacteria development
🌾 Starter feed – its starch content fuels fermentation and papillae development
🌱 Forage – builds rumen muscle and structure
🥛 Milk replacer – sustains a high pre-weaning ADG to secure the transition

Targets to reach a true « win-wean »:
✅ Birth weight x 2,5
✅ At least 2,5 kg of starter intake/day
✅ Minimum 70 days before weaning

And the long-term profitability is real: +100 g of ADG pre-weaning = +155 L of milk in 1st lactation, an earlier puberty and a 1st calving before 24 months.

Because a well-prepared weaning is the foundation of a profitable career.
