Livestock Supplements for Goats and Sheep

Enhancing and Supporting the Immune System

Trust Transfer Factor Technology

Medicine focuses on the science of disease, while nutrition emphasizes the science of health.

At Ramaekers Nutrition, we offer the only immune support products specifically designed for small commercial ruminants, utilizing transfer factor technology. Unlike many other products that rely on basic ingredients to support immune health, our approach combines a unique and patented blend of essential nutrients and powerful nutraceuticals to optimize immune system function effectively.

Patented Formulas

Our special formulas are made from a unique mix of beneficial proteins taken from cow colostrum (the first milk produced after giving birth) and egg yolks. This mix also includes helpful plant sugars, probiotics that promote good gut health, and easily absorbed vitamins and minerals.

Together, these ingredients work to boost the immune system of your goats and sheep. They help these animals quickly and effectively recognize and fight off harmful cells, keeping them healthy.

Unique Formulas

Our innovative formulas, including the Newborn Primer, Adult Primer, and Preconditioned Premix, are crafted to enhance and educate the immune system, fostering overall health and vitality. These products are capable of both supporting and balancing immune responses, acting as effective immune modulators. By “priming” the immune system, they ensure a well-timed reaction, activating only when necessary and preventing overstimulation without external triggers, such as disease-causing organisms. This thoughtful approach helps promote a resilient immune system for every stage of

Immune Primer

Similar to colostrum, which is the first milk that transfers essential immune knowledge from a mother to her newborn, our Newborn Primer, Adult Primer, and Preconditioned Premix formulas effectively educate and activate the immune cells of both the mother and calf within hours. These formulas utilize our patented transfer factor technology and do so without causing side effects.

Herd Health

While medicine addresses the challenges of disease, nutrition plays a crucial role in fostering overall health. By incorporating Ramaekers Nutrition’s orally delivered formulas into your herd management practices, you can significantly enhance immune function. These innovative formulas are designed to strengthen your existing herd health protocols, support your nutritional program, and ultimately boost your profit potential in a variety of 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

Revolutionizing Livestock Health:

The Role of Immunotherapy in Enhancing Immune Function

Advancements in technology consistently transform the ways we tackle challenges. One significant breakthrough that is reshaping our understanding of an issue in the livestock industry is immunotherapy.

Natural immunotherapy effectively empowers the immune systems of small ruminants to combat viral and bacterial infections, as well as conditions induced by stress. Given that stress can severely compromise immune function, this approach is not just beneficial—it’s essential for the health and productivity of livestock.

Advanced Formulas for Immune Support in Newborns and Adult Ruminants

Our patented formulas deliver cutting-edge technology and unparalleled opportunities for health enhancement. They ensure that newborns can absorb crucial immune information and education equivalent to 1 to 2 gallons of colostrum. Furthermore, these groundbreaking formulas effectively bridge the technology gap, providing adult ruminants with the same vital immune education.

Our field veterinarians confidently integrate these products as essential adjunctive and preventive therapies in treatment programs, achieving remarkable results with or without the use of antibiotics.

Reduce Cortisol

This approach is designed to effectively alter the typical stress response in animals, specifically by lowering cortisol production. By doing so, we ensure a robust and vigilant immune system. Our research unequivocally demonstrates that we can reduce excessive cortisol release by 42% in response to stress, utilizing a safe and cost-effective product that is easily delivered at every stage of production.

Integrating Supplements with a Herd Health Program

Natural Immunotherapy

We confidently recommend incorporating natural supplements into a robust herd health program that includes effective vaccine protocols, deworming, balanced rations, and essential mineral and trace mineral supplements. Since 2007, our customers and producers have consistently observed and documented the positive impact of these practices on their goats and sheep. Our extensive studies show that utilizing natural immune supplements for thousands of goats and sheep results in impressive health and vitality improvements, leading to:
