Muradach Coultry, farms 160 acres in Corbed, Killala, Co.Mayo. On Farm Muradach farms a herd of 70 Holstein Friesian milking cows and 70 calves which he rears for beef.
Having a herd with young calves requires a lot of attention to ensure disease and sickness is prevented. With this in mind Muradach began using MILGUARD PLUS in 2016 as a support in order to try and combat diseases.
Kevin Conroy from Inform Nutrition met with Muradach Coultry, to discuss his use of MILGUARD PLUS on farm. In the past Muradach has had persistent problems with calves scouring, however after feeding MilkGuard Plus from 0 to weaning Muradach has said “sour has reduced dramatically on farm and all calves are soring.”
MilkGuard Plus is a unique blend of vitamins and minerals that can be used as an additive for both whole milk and milk replacer. MilkGuard Plus also has the added benefit of the trademarked C-Guard. C-Guard is a blend of essential oils; Oregano, Garlic and Rosemary, which are widely known for their beneficial health properties. C-Guard’s unique blend of natural organic acids improves the digestibility of milks so there are more nutrients available for growth. It is formulated to assist with the digestibility of the milk which naturally supports a reduction in nutritional diarrhea and increased growth.
Inform Nutrition’s Kevin Conroy added, “It is great to receive feedback from farmers who have seen the benefits first-hand of using MilkGuard Plus. MilkGuard Plus can support in maintaining calf health and reduction of digestive disturbances.”
