Ark Calf Saver MCT Energy Supplement for Calves
Description
Ark Calf Saver - Quick-Release MCT Energy for Newborn Calves
Ark Calf Saver is a Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) energy supplement for calves, blending caprylic acid, capric acid and triglyceride with added natural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol). It is designed for newborn and young calves that need a readily absorbed energy source, and because it is quickly absorbed it helps give the calf the impetus to suckle.
Best for dairy and suckler farmers, rearing units and smallholders who want a straightforward energy supplement in the calving kit for calves that are slow to rise or slow to find the udder. Browse more farm and livestock essentials in our Agrihealth collection.
