Nutrient Specifications for the MSU Weaning Supplement
This formulation is on an amount of nutrient supplemented
each day. Almost any feed supplier - including UAP,
Cenex Harvest States, Loomix, Anipro, Superior Feeds,
Central Feed, and Cargill Nutrena - should be able to
provide the MSU weaning supplement. It is recommended
that you visit with your local feed supplier to design
and implement your 45-day backgrounding program.
We recommend that this supplement be fed for 28 days.
This supplement was designed to help stimulate the immune
system of weaned calves.
