PROPERTIES: LIVAMOL Feed Optimiser Pellets have been specifically formulated to be used with Livamol, Australia’s Leading
Coat Conditioner, for addition to all types of cattle feeds including growing, breeding, stud, show and performance steers.
Flaveco is added for improved growth rates and increased feed conversion efficiency in calves and cattle, while improving digestion
of high fibre diets like hay and pasture. It has a wide safety margin with no toxicity problems as can occur with ionophores (like
monensin or lasalocid), is not absorbed into the blood stream, resulting in zero residues in meat and milk. In addition, it is non-toxic
for horses, dogs, poultry and other animal species.
Livamol Feed Optimiser Pellets have been formulated:
1- To make it easy for cattle owners to make up their own feeds.
2- For use with Livamol, Australia’s Leading Coat Conditioner.
3- To give cattle owners flexibility to customise feeds, for individual animals when necessary.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: DO NOT exceed recommended dose rates. DO NOT feed to any animal not included in the label claims.
LIVAMOL Feed Optimiser Pellets should be mixed with feed as follows:

A standard cup holds approximately 250 g. Ensure that fresh clean drinking water is available at all times.
Per Day
Bulls, Lactating Cows, Dry Cows,

Colostrum is the first milk produced after birth. It is high in protein much of which is immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins with antibody activity that are produced in response to infection by micro-organisms.
The three main classes of immunoglobulins are Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM). A few mammals such as rabbits, mice and humans are born with maternal transplacental IgG but not IgA or IgM. However most species are born devoid of immunity and must acquire their initial immunoglobulins from colostrum. For the immunoglobulins in colostrum to function as systemic antibodies they must first be absorbed from the intestine unaltered.

Colostrum contains other proteins such as, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme that have antibacterial activity. These proteins act to inhibit the colonisation of the intestine by pathogenic micro-organisms, and together with low levels of immunoglobulins may remain in the milk throughout lactation. These proteins are usually found in higher concentrations in colostrum and early lactation milk.

Lactoferrin binds iron and facilitates its uptake from the intestine. Due to its iron binding capacity lactoferrin inhibits a wide range of micro-organisms that require iron for growth5,7. When lactoferrin is hydrolysed by gastric enzymes it releases a peptide that is highly bactericidal to several species of pathogenic organisms.

Lactoperoxidase is bacteriostatic to a wide range of bacteria in the presence of thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide generating enzymes. Lactoperoxidase denatures bacterial proteins by halogenation with hydrogen peroxide and halogens.

Lysozyme is bactericidal to many bacteria. Lysozyme hydrolyses the muramic acid in the cell wall thus causing the cell to lyse. Lysozyme also acts in concert with IgA, lactoperoxidase and ascorbate to lyse bacteria.

In animals other than marsupials, colostral milk is only produced for a short time after birth. During this time ingested antibodies are protected from intestinal digestive enzymes by antiproteinases present in the colostrum. Intestinal closure to the absorption of antibodies occurs as the composition of mammary secretion changes from colostrum to normal milk, when the levels of antibody fall rapidly.

Available in 25g, 50g, 250g, and 500g polylined resealable jars.

Directions for all animals except Marsupials.
Weigh the animal and select the appropriate weight range from the chart. Mix the amounts of Impact powder and warm pre-boiled water to make the daily Impact requirement.
Refrigerate prepared Impact for one day only or store frozen in ice cube trays for up to 1 month. Do not mix or feed Impact with milk. Newborn that have not received maternal colostrum or milk.
First 12 hours: Do not feed milk during this time. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.
Next 36 hours: Commence feeding milk every 4 hours. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 4 hours. Feed Impact 2 hours after the first milk feed so that the remaining Impact feeds are mid way between the next milk feeds.
Newborn that have received some milk but no maternal colostrum.
First 12 hours: Stop feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.
Next 36 hours: Recommence feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount mid way between milk feeds.

Every dairy or beef farmer and calf rearer is regularly faced with this problem - what to do with a calf that wont suckle?
Boosty calf is an oral supplement to stimulate appetite and give a 6 hour energy boost allowing the calf to increase its nutrient intake and reduce the chance of mortality.
If a newborn or very young calf cannot access a regular supply of lactose from cow’s milk it will run out of energy, the body temperature will drop, it will weaken and struggle standing long enough to obtain sufficient nutrient for healthy growth or ultimately survive.
Until now calf supplementation required two-part missing though the use of boiled water or stomach tubing with valuable time spent in preparation and wash up;. There was also wastage of product not used.

Ingredients:
Glycerol, medium chain triglycerides, glucose syrup and vitamins as a short term readily available energy and nutrient boost for newborn calves.
Directions for use:
Introduce the syringe on to the back of the calf’s tongue and allow swallowing.
Dose Rate:
One syringe as soon as possible after birth and if necessary repeat the dose at a minimum of 6 hours later. Repeat until the period of risk is considered to be over (usually 2 to 3 days)
