That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/biozymeinc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BioZyme<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Inc.<\/a>, recently introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/dealers.backofficeapps.com\/products\/3196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VitaFerm<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Sure Start Gel<\/a>, specifically formulated for calves to support immune function and overall health during the critical post-birth period. Yes, there are other calf gels on the market. But, as leaders in animal health and nutrition, our goal is to provide animals with an undeniable impact from birth forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, <a href=\"https:\/\/vitaferm.com\/all-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VitaFerm<\/a> has foundationally produced nutrition for beef cattle that maximizes energy and forage utilization for successful production. However, successful production doesn\u2019t happen if your calf doesn\u2019t get started on the right foot. Yes, we hope that your customers are feeding a VitaFerm mineral to their cows in late gestation and early lactation to give their calves pass-through immunity and nutrients. However, VitaFerm Sure Start Gel is another resource to ensure that calves receive the best nutrients possible, as early as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGetting calves off to the best start possible is paramount for their long-term health and, ultimately, your profitability. While a year-round VitaFerm program can improve colostrum quality, Sure Start Gel uses our new Broad-shield technology to give an additional boost of immunity,\u201d said Chris Cassady, Ph.D., BioZyme Director of Beef Technical Sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of VitaFerm Sure Start Gel&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new VitaFerm Sure Start Gel offers several benefits to give newborns a sure start. Like all VitaFerm products, it contains <a href=\"https:\/\/biozymeinc.com\/additive\/ao-biotics-amaferm\/what-to-expect-in-beef\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AO-Biotics<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Amaferm<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, a research-proven prebiotic that supports digestibility by stimulating beneficial microbes.\u202fFurthermore, this innovative gel:\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u202fDelivers IgY antibodies derived from Salmonella, E. coli, bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, and Clostridium and MOS for broad support of the immune system.\u202f&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provides nutritional support to maximize calf vigor.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVitaFerm Sure Start Gel is research-proven to enhance the efficacy of the antibodies the cow naturally passes to her calf, giving your calves every chance to develop their immune system and capitalize on healthy, efficient performance,\u201d Cassady said.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This single-dose product comes in a 30 mL tube and should be administered after the calf has had colostrum. For best results, we recommend giving it within the first 24 hours of birth. Repeat daily as needed. The bright orange color allows for a distinct recognition of administration.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Differentiates Sure Start?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a producer and Google search \u201ccalf gel,\u201d endless options present themselves. However, not all calf gel is created the same. Many recommend immediately after the calf is born.&nbsp; At BioZyme, our scientists know the <a href=\"https:\/\/beef.unl.edu\/beefwatch\/importance-colostrum-newborn-calf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">importance of colostrum<\/a>. That is why we have suggested using the Sure Start Gel after that calf gets its mother\u2019s first milk.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, all BioZyme products are research-proven, meaning we have trialed them and know they do what we say they do. BioZyme has more than 150 <a href=\"https:\/\/dealers.backofficeapps.com\/research\/papers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research papers and presentations<\/a> across all products for all species. We want our dealers and our customers to know that we have all animals\u2019 best interests at heart. That\u2019s why research has been at our company\u2019s foundation for more than 60 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way that the VitaFerm Sure Start Gel distinguishes itself from the competition in value. Yes, one tube is one dose, which makes it easy to administer \u2013 no guessing if you over- or under-applied. Calves are getting some of the best technology on the market, all for under $13 a dose, at the suggested retail price. Some other calf gels are priced at $18 or more per dose, and they do not contain Amaferm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, our team is not just scientists in white lab coats making products for producers and animal lovers. The <a href=\"https:\/\/biozymeinc.com\/our-staff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BioZyme team<\/a> is comprised of producers \u2013 cattle producers \u2013 just like your customers. They know the value of calf gel that contains Amaferm and other key antibodies to protect the immune system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock up on VitaFerm Sure Start Today!&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, calf gels are not created equally. Yes, some of the ingredients appear the same. The dosing instructions might seem similar. However, there is one brand that your customers can rely on. It\u2019s research-proven and contains Amaferm, IgY antibodies, MOS and broad-shield technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your <a href=\"https:\/\/dealers.backofficeapps.com\/products\/3196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VitaFerm Sure Start Gel<\/a> today.
