Transfer Factor Technology

Our Transfer Factor Technology is derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides extracted from bovine colostrum and egg yolks. This blend combines unique plant-derived heteropolysaccharides, lactic acid-producing probiotics, and highly bioavailable micronutrients. The Synergy of this combination of ingredients enables the “immune intelligence” (the body’s ability to recognize and remove harmful cells) in our formulas to assist your cattle in naturally producing an effective, rapid, and appropriate immune response.

Immune Primer

Like colostrum (or first milk), which transfers vital immune knowledge from mother to newborn, our Newborn Immune Primer and Adult Immune Primer formulas educate and activate the function of the mother and calf’s immune cells within hours and without side effects using our patented Transfer Factor Technology.

Herd Health

While Medicine is the Science of Disease, we feel that Nutrition is the Science of Health. The bottom line is that regardless of your animal health protocol, enhanced immune function made possible by Ramaekers Nutrition’s orally-delivered formulas enhances your current herd health protocols. Our formulas will help your nutritional program and bolster profit potential in the following ways:

• Significantly fewer treatments and deaths
• Better response to existing nutrition programs and health protocols
• Maximized state of wellness for better gain and reproductive outcomes (see reproduction and fertility)
• Improved genetic expression by addressing sub-clinical disease issues

Patented formulas provide technology and opportunity.

Our patented formulas provide the technology and opportunity for newborn and adult ruminants to absorb the equivalent immune information and education found in 6 gallons of colostrum in an easy-to-deliver form. Our field veterinarians use these products as adjunctive and preventative therapy in treatment programs with or without antibiotics.

Reduce Cortisol

The key to this approach is to modify the animals’ typical response to stress, specifically increased cortisol production, thereby maintaining a highly functional and vigilant immune system. Our studies demonstrate that we can reduce excessive cortisol release (by 42%) associated with stress using a safe and economical product, conveniently delivered at all stages of production.

Cows and cattle: Protect your investment on the front end — decrease losses on the back end.

Increased Profits

Trials repeatedly have shown an improvement in Health and vigor that translates to

• Decreased sickness to below 6%
• Decreased death loss to .2-1%
• Increase in weight gain and feed conversion
• Decreased days on feed
• Increased performance ↑efficiency with a 15% improvement
• Increased yield ↑2-3%
• Increased Prime and Choice grades
• For “All Naturals,” Increased Health results in an increased number of cattle on the program to receive the all-natural bonus at harvest.

Birth to Harvest

In the “all-natural” business of buying single-source, preconditioned cattle, our formulas help control Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). Prevention is paramount, as we know that 46% of healthy cattle harbor Mycoplasma in their respiratory tracts, as identified via PCR testing. For optimal results, it is essential to enroll all cattle in the program to maintain their health from birth to harvest. Our current plan calls for the following:

• 2 Newborn Immune Primer Sustained Release Bolettes with Minerals for newborn calves to educate the immune system to 3000+ pathogens
• 1 Adult Immune Primer Sustained Release with Minerals Bolus at processing or branding
• 2 Adult Immune Primer Sustained Release with Minerals Bolus at feedlot arrival

This program is an adjunct to proper parasite and vaccination programs. This program should reduce the average 12-18% dropout rate to 5-6% sick.

Note: Calves treated with immunotherapy: 40%

Ramaekers Nutrition

For more than 50 years, Ramaekers Nutrition has primarily focused on researching and developing natural immunotherapy supplements.

Unique Formulas

Our unique formulas:

• Newborn Immune Primer
• Adult Immune Primer
• Newborn Stress Premix
• Adult Stress Premix

Help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. Our products can upregulate and downregulate the immune system. Thus, they are actual immune modulators. Immune modulators “prime” the immune system to react appropriately. Only when needed and will not overstimulate or activate without an external stimulus, such as a disease-causing organism.
