Patrick White is a dairy farmer based in Co Offaly milking 200 cows in a spring-based system. In 2022 in the middle of a calf scour outbreak his vet recommended he try Precision Microbes to to help with recovery. He started feeding 60mls daily to calves during the outbreak and immediately could see a difference in their responses and recovery rates. He then moved to all newborn calves getting 30mls daily starting in colostrum and going for 30 days. During periods of digestive upsets topping them up with 30mls for 3-4 days.
Like many farmers, Patrick has seen Precision Microbes work with recovery but more importantly, work at prevention and support reducing gut health issues. Our gold standard calf protocol is 30mls daily per calf from birth through milk right up to weaning.
