Shine once a day (pallet 60x bags)

The pioneer of once a day feeding and with butter and skim milk powder, it can be fed with water or milk to reduce your work-load but not compromise the calf.
Based on research work carried out at Lackham Agricultural College in the 90s and backed by the experience of feeding over 100,000 calves Shine Once-a-day is now the number one choice for once a day feeding in the UK and Ireland. More than 30% of farmers using the Shine Range are feeding Once a day.

Shine Once a day feeding relies on ingredients, which curdle in the calf’s stomach and last up to 14hours in the digestive system. This ensures better digestion and actually reduces scour compared even to twice a day feeding. Independent trial work has also shown that calves fed Once a day are more content, eat more dry feed and bulls fed Once a day had higher KO% than twice daily fed animals.

Made with butter and skim milk powder along with 4 vegetable oils and milk protein your calves will never be as well or as easily fed.The addition of buttermilk improves fat digestion and its natural lactic acid flavour reduces upsets and feed refusals. Shine Once a day can be fed in milk (50g/L) or in water (200g/L)

Calves are more content because Shine Once-a-day is very slowly digested Calves perform better especially after weaning (€10/calf) Calves are weaned 1 week sooner saving milk or milk replacer (€6calf) Farmers can save a total of 50 hours work rearing just 40 calves ( €10/calf)
