Turkey Study: 9,300 Birds From The Brooder To The Finish

In 2008, a trial involving 9,300 birds was conducted at Platte Colony in Platte, South Dakota. The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy of the Poultry Immune Formula on growth, feed efficiency, mortality rates, and overall condemnation.

An additional control group of 9,300 poults was housed in the same facility, separate from the test birds. The Poultry Immune Formula was administered at a rate of 1 ounce per 100 birds, mixed into a minimum of 2 tons of feed, and was provided until it was finished. This process was repeated every 21 days for a total of six administrations until the birds were shipped.

Improved Embryo Quality and Quantity

Improved Embryo Quality and Quantity.

Improved Embryo Quality and Quantity

Ken and Julie Tew own the Sutton Creek Cattle Company, a full-service Wagyu cattle ranch. Ken is the past president of the American Wagyu Association, and Julie is presently on the board of directors.

The farm has a USDA-approved embryo quarantine facility approved for most countries worldwide, and they sell embryos worldwide.

Since 2008, they have used Ramaekers Adult Immune Primer Immune Support for stress management. They have experienced improved wellness in their cow-calf process.

In the ET operation, they have observed an increase in the average number of embryos, and the embryo quality has shown significant improvement.

Until using Dr. Ramaekers’ reproduction protocols, they had never had a flush with 100% of number-one-quality embryos. Now, using Ramaekers Adult Immune Primer Immune Support, 100% #1s are more common than not.

Calf Stress Reduction Study

Calf Stress Reduction Study.

Findings: 46% reduction in cortisol levels

In this study, twelve calves from a local sale barn, weighing between 350 and 511 pounds, were evaluated over a 60-day period. This group included four non-castrated bull calves and eight heifers. The calves were purchased and transported to a local veterinarian for processing. Six calves were randomly assigned to the treatment group, while the other six served as the control group.

All calves received antibiotic treatment with Dura-Penn and were also wormed and castrated as necessary. The calves in the treatment group received Ramaekers Stocker/Adult Immune Primer on days 1, 2, 3, and 12. Blood samples were collected twice daily (morning and evening) on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12. These samples were sent to a local veterinary lab to test for cortisol, T4, and insulin levels.

Calf Stress Reduction Study Results:

The findings showed a remarkable 46% reduction in cortisol levels in the treated calves compared to the control group. Additionally, there was a 43% improvement in diurnal rhythm and a 28% improvement in T4 function by day 5. At the end of the 60-day period, the calves that received treatment had a weight advantage of 60 pounds per head over those in the control group.

Calf Stress Reduction Study, 2005 Chart

Calf Stress Reduction Study Summary

SUMMARY: Reducing the stress response (lowering cortisol levels) leads to improved immune function, resulting in better weight gain and increased profits. This pivotal study highlights the importance of preemptive and preventive natural immunotherapy in preventing disease, promoting health, and ultimately enhancing profitability. Our products stand apart from anything currently available on the market.

Integrating Supplements with a Herd Health Program

Reproduction and Fertility

We strongly advise incorporating these natural supplements into a proven herd health program, including appropriate vaccine protocols, rations, and, most importantly, mineral and trace mineral supplements. In our case studies, we have found that by integrating our supplements with a herd health program, we have seen significant results with reproduction and fertility, for example, increased egg count and grade quality, increased conception, improved spermatogenesis, and reduced morbidity and mortality.

Count on Bovine Immune Primer and Preconditioned Premix Formulas to put money in your pocket.

As cattle respond to stress across key production stages, their immune systems are weakened, predisposing them to infection and disease. Newborn Immune Primer, Adult Immune Primer, and Preconditioned Premix formulas, Newborn Stress Premix and Adult Stress Premix act quickly to educate and activate immune cells, helping newborn calves, weaned calves, breeding stock, cattle for transport, and cattle on feed to wage an appropriate immune response to stress and enabling their immune systems to fight the real threat of infection and disease.

Patented Formulas

Our patented formulas allow newborn and adult livestock (to learn more, see bovine products) to absorb the equivalent immune information and education found in 6 gallons of colostrum. Years of field studies and research have led to a livestock (to learn more, see other livestock) formulation that has shown overwhelming improvement in herd health, stress reduction, vaccine enhancement, fertility, and reproduction.

Dr. Ramaekers and his field veterinarians have a special interest in exploring and researching the following areas:

  • Transportation stress reduction to help maintain immune function
  • Enhanced embryo quality and increasing numbers produced
  • Improving embryo transplantation and the recipient’s conception
  • Improving spermatogenesis leads to improved volume and concentration
  • Reducing the incidence of Mycoplasma
  • Reducing the incidence of BVD & BRD
  • Decreased shipping fever
  • Increasing weaning weights
  • Decreased calf scours
  • Decreasing E. coli diarrheas
  • Improved viability of newborns

Transfer Factor Technology

Medicine is the Science of Disease, and Nutrition is the Science of Health.

Trust transfer factor technology to optimize your cows and calves’ immune system function. While many products use single, rudimentary ingredients known to aid immune health, Ramaekers Nutrition delivers the only immune support products harnessing transfer factor supported by a unique, field-tested, and patented blend of essential nutrients and potent nutraceuticals.

Immune Intelligence

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 herd health program, enhanced immune function is made possible by Ramaekers Nutrition’s orally delivered formulas, which improve your current herd health results. 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
  • Improved genetic expression by addressing sub-clinical disease issues

Beating Bovine Respiratory Disease

Beating Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)

Immune Primer Supplements

Beating Bovine Respiratory Disease by strategically incorporating our Natural Immune Primer Supplements into your management and vaccination program. This program will decrease disease in your herd and earn you extra profits. Take a look at our Natural Beef Case Study to learn more.

Disease Prevention and Therapy Program

Beating Bovine Respiratory Disease has become easier by adding Ramaekers’ Immune Primer products to your disease prevention and therapy program. Our laboratory and field studies have proven that our patented ingredients dramatically increase the immune system’s response speed and activity level. We have proven that we can improve the immune response by over 400% with no side effects and stimulate the body to respond faster in the face of a disease challenge. The key to achieving these results is strategically using our products at the typical stress windows observed in the livestock industry: calving, breeding, transporting, and processing.

Beating Bovine Respiratory Disease

Stress is known to weaken the immune system, but now there is an answer to combat this age-old problem. Priming and activating the immune cells is easy, safe, and economical. We’ve developed several formulas. These formulas make administering our products at various stages of raising and processing cattle easier. Always start early, before the stress window, to get the best response.
