Complete Calf & Heifer Nutrition Program
Formulated by Bovine Innovations Group

Did you know: Traditional methods of calf rearing actually COST you money? Calf and heifer management/nutrition using B.I.G. Technology actually makes the calves more valuable during their
early life and SAVES money. This is in addition to more future milk!

Extensive research around the world has proven that the faster we grow calves from birth through 8-10
weeks of age directly (and significantly) impacts her future milk production. Results from several US
universities from trials confirm that this feeding period accounts for over 40% of the difference in first
lactation milk yield with more then 3,000 lbs of milk being left on the table! Not only are we looking at milk production, but also LONGEVITY. The same research has shown that we can see over 15% more heifers
surviving through the second lactation! So, put together more milk and longevity, we have just changed the profitability of your dairy by simply feeding the young heifer to her potential.

What are we talking about? Normal biological growth. The closer we can get to normal, the healthier
the calves, the bigger the calves, the stronger the calves, and the more milk we will see from them
when they calve.

These calf and heifer grains were developed with B.I.G technology and are unlike others on the
market today. This is a complete program that continues to promote lean muscle growth and
promote healthy immune systems from birth through transition and beyond. Our fixed formula means
that every bag of grain will be the same. The ingredients and their amounts do not change versus least cost formulas that can change batch to batch due to ingredient price fluctuations.

B.I.G technology is a proprietary blend that includes:

Intake stimulants. We all know that getting calves to eat grain is critical. Our intake stimulant has calves eating grain quicker and more consistently.
Essential Oils. These aid in the development of the rumen. They have been shown to promote certain strains of bacteria while also helping intake.
B Vitamins. B vitamins are involved in a whole range of rumen, metabolism, and growth of the calf. Calves fed whole milk typically consume over 10x the levels found in milk replacers. Thus, to get the calf closer to mom’s milk, we’ve added B vitamins.
Sugar and organic acids. Not only does sugar stimulate intake, it also stimulates rumen development. The organic acids act in conjunction with the sugar and essential oils to promote a healthy rumen.
Amino acids. The essential building block of proteins, research has shown that calves are deficient in lysine and methionine. Through ingredient selection, we’ve increased the amino acid content of the grain to match the calf requirements.
Higher levels of Vitamin E plus organic minerals. These nutrients stimulate the immune function of the calf. A healthy calf grows better and our vitamin E levels are aimed specifically at maximizing the calf immune system and growth.
Linseed meal (Flax) to provide specific fatty acids. These fatty acids have been proven to not only enhance hair coats, but also improve immune function.
Highly digestible ingredients to maximize growth.

All of us should believe that the future of the dairy herd begins with the calf. These grains have been formulated with that in mind. Whether you are feeding whole milk or milk replacer, B.I.G Premium
Calf and Heifer Grains can help take your calves to the next level of performance.
B.I.G Technology is the only way to improve your calves and heifers today and in the future.
