Milkivit ONE is a next generation Energized Calf Milk designed to level up calf rearing by improving calf health and resilience. It is based on cutting-edge LifeStart Science research and contains our patent-pending LactoFat Pro technology.
Powered by LactoFat Pro:
a unique fatty acid technology taking performance to the next level
As we all know, fat composition is crucial to calf development. Milkivit ONE Energized Calf Milk is powered by our unique, patent-pending fatty acid technology: LactoFat Pro. This fatty acid closely resembles that of fat in cow’s milk, to elevate calf performance and health to the next level. The power
of mother nature! Next to feeding Milkivit ONE, you can take other measures as well to give your newborn calves the best possible LifeStart. Download our leaflet with the 10 golden rules!
Milkivit ONE is a true game-changer. We have never been this close to natural cow's milk.
Milkivit ONE: Enhanced rumen and intestinal development
Trials at our research and development centre have shown that the fatty acid profile of Milkivit ONE leads to improved rumen development during the milk feeding phase. Histological research shows that the intestinal structures in calves that were fed Milkivit ONE were more developed, with significantly longer villi length. Additionally, the stronger intestinal development supports a trend for higher fat digestibility in calves.
Milkivit ONE: Better health and a lower risk of mortality
The correct balance of fatty acids in Milkivit ONE supports gastrointestinal tract integrity, which plays an important role in protecting the calves against diarrhoea. Feeding Milkivit ONE leads to a better development of the intestinal tract and has shown to reduce the incidence and severity of diarrhoea in calves (Figure 2). Additionally, calves fed Milkivit ONE were found to have less treatment days and therefore a lower risk of mortality compared to a control group, which was fed Energized Calf Milk.
Dairy Farmer: Sadie Bullock “ We have not had to use any antibiotics in our pre-weaned heifer calves and had no mortality this year "
"Calves have grown really well, weaning weight is 270% of birthweight, which is exceptional. We are equally as pleased with how healthy and robust the calves have been. We have never had calves looking so well and playing as much as they have on the Milkivit ONE "
Milkivit ONE: A higher starter feed and energy intake
Harnessing the power of mother nature to restore the fatty acid profile in Milkivit ONE brings many advantages to early life performance of calves. One significant benefit is the improvement in rumen and intestinal development, which leads to optimal digestion and increased energy intake from milk and starter feed (Figure 1). This, in turn, supports a smoother weaning transition and promotes optimal growth rates, helping to develop a robust and resilient calf at weaning and beyond.
Dairy farmer Charlotte Wallbridge: “we've had zero bloat and the calves seem really healthy and lively ”
“When I walk into the barn and into the calf pen I’m very, very pleased with how they look, they’re very healthy, vibrant, always skipping around the pen playing with their toys. We’ve had very few problems and the calves seem really healthy and lively so we’re really, really pleased.”
Milkivit ONE: Elevated calf and farmer wellbeing
Study results show that calves fed Milkivit ONE were found to have less treatment days compared to those given first generation Energized Calf Milk. Because calves stay healthier this reduces the need for costly health interventions and additional monitoring, saving time and effort while minimising animal and human stress. More resillient calves are better positioned to succeed against the challenges they may face in the carf rearing period. In addition, healthy calves not only go on to lead more productive lives but also enhance job satisfaction for the whole farm team.
