Nutritional Supplements Bovine Health

Patented Formulas

Our transfer factor technology is made from a special mix of natural proteins found in cow’s first milk and egg yolks. This unique blend also includes beneficial plant sugars, good bacteria that help digestion, and important vitamins and minerals that are easy for the body to use.

Together, these ingredients work to boost your cattle’s immune system, helping them recognize and fight off harmful cells quickly and effectively. This means healthier animals and a stronger response to any health challenges they may face.

Our orally delivered formulas are designed to elevate your herd health protocols and supercharge immune function. With our solutions, you can expect remarkable improvements in your nutritional program and profit potential, including:

Invest in your herd’s health with Ramaekers Nutrition and witness the transformative impact on your operation.

Immune Primer

Similar to colostrum, the first milk that transmits essential immune knowledge from mother to newborn, our Newborn Primer and Adult Primer formulas are designed to educate and activate the immune cells of both the mother and the calf. These formulas work within hours and cause no side effects, thanks to our patented transfer factor technology.

State of Wellness

We understand that managing stress and fostering “gap immunity” are crucial for the overall well-being of cattle. When we support them in achieving a healthier state, we not only improve the effectiveness of our nutritional and health programs, but we also contribute to their happiness and comfort.

Enhancing Livestock Wellness for Optimal Growth

We genuinely believe that when livestock are in a better state of sub-clinical health, they have a greater chance to thrive and realize their full genetic potential. Together, we can create an environment that nurtures their wellness and growth.

Revolutionizing Cattle Health:

The Impact of Immunotherapy

Advancements in technology consistently transform the way we tackle challenges.

In the cattle industry, one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs is immunotherapy. Natural Immunotherapy is a powerful approach that empowers the cattle’s immune system to effectively combat viral and bacterial infections, leading to healthier herds and more robust production.

Reduce Cortisol

Our innovative approach effectively modifies animals’ typical responses to stress by significantly reducing cortisol production. This critical adjustment ensures that their immune systems remain highly functional and vigilant. Our studies confidently demonstrate that we can cut excessive cortisol release by an impressive 42% in response to stress. We accomplish this with a safe and cost-effective product that can be easily administered at every stage of production.

For more than 50 years, Ramaekers Nutrition has been a leader in developing patented natural products that not only enhance but also educate on optimal immune system function in stressed cattle.

Beef Cattle Health Management: Health and Vigor

Research has consistently shown that improvements in health and vigor lead to significant benefits, including:

• Reduction of sickness rates to below 6%
• Decrease in death loss to 0.2-1%
• Increase in weight gain and feed conversion efficiency
• Fewer days on feed
• Enhanced performance with a 15% improvement in efficiency
• Increased yield by 2-3%
• Higher prime and choice grades

For cattle raised as “all naturals,” these health improvements mean more animals qualify for the all-natural bonus at harvest.

Beef Cattle Health Management: Birth to Harvest

In the “all-natural” business of purchasing single-source, preconditioned cattle, our formulas play a crucial role in controlling Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). Consequently, prevention is essential because we know that 46% of healthy cattle carry Mycoplasma in their respiratory tracts, as determined through PCR testing. To achieve optimal results, it is vital to include all cattle in the program; this approach ensures their health is maintained from birth to harvest. Therefore, our current plan includes:

• 2 Newborn Sustained Release Boluses with Minerals for newborn calves, aimed at educating the immune system against over 3,000 pathogens
• 1 Adult Sustained Release Bolus with Minerals at processing or branding
• 2 Adult Sustained Release Boluses with Minerals at feedlot arrival

This program complements proper parasite control and vaccination protocols. We expect this approach to reduce the average dropout rate of 12-18% to just 5-6% for sick cattle.

Note: Calves that receive immunotherapy show a 40% improvement in health outcomes.
