Newborn Calves

Transfer Factor Technology

Our Transfer Factor Technology is derived from a proprietary blend of bioactive peptides. These bioactive peptides are 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 formulas (learn more about our sustained release 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.

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 six 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. The key to this approach is modifying the animals' response to stress (cortisol production) and maintaining a highly functional and vigilant immune system.

Reduce Cortisol

The key to this approach is to modify the animals' normal response to stress (increased cortisol production), thus maintaining a highly functional and vigilant immune system. Our studies prove that we can reduce the excessive cortisol release (by 42%) brought on by stress using a safe and economical product conveniently delivered at all stages of production.

Antiviral

Immune Primer can increase the animal’s response to antibiotics and is our only antiviral agent available for practical field application. Our newer advanced formula has allowed for a smaller dose, which is more cost-effective with all of the advantages of the original product.

• The dosage for the Newborn Immune Primer Sustained Release Bolettes with Minerals is 2 Bollettes on Day 1
• The dosage for the Powder is ½ oz. best given by drench Day 1, Day 2, and Day 12.

The Immune Primer Powder or Bollette causes a similar response that the vaccine may produce: initial doses stimulate and upmodulate the immune system for 12 to 14 days and create an amnestic (memory response). This immune system response means a third single dose further upmodulates the immune system for an additional 14 days.

Immune Primer Powder or Bollettes increases the immune system response for 26 Days.

This coverage mimics the 26-day incubation period of Bovine Respiratory Disease (Shipping Fever). Not only does it increase immune system response, but it is also our only antiviral tool.

• Newborn Immune Primer has been shown to produce a 450% vaccine enhancement response. It improved antibody production from our vaccine studies by an average of 450% over baseline.
• Newborn Immune Primer enhances the effectiveness of any antibiotic used with it. The animal’s response to treatment improves, allowing for less antibiotic use with fewer retreats and chronics.
• Newborn Immune Primer helps decrease or blunt the elevated cortisol levels (the stress hormone) caused by shipping, which helps maintain a healthy and normal functioning immune system.
• Newborn Immune Primer improves genetic expression and performance, e.g., fewer days on feed, less feed consumed, and improved yield and grade by enhancing health.

Unique Formulas

Our unique Newborn Immune Primer, Adult Immune Primer, and Preconditioned Premix formulas help educate and boost the immune system for overall health and vitality. Our products can up-regulate and down-regulate an 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.
