How Provita Protect Works

Newborn calves are born with a sterile digestive system, making them particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria during the first few hours of life. Provita Protect delivers a high concentration of carefully selected probiotic bacteria that quickly establish themselves within the gut.

These beneficial bacteria work through competitive exclusion, occupying attachment sites on the gut wall before harmful pathogens such as E. coli can become established. They also naturally produce lactic acid, lowering intestinal pH and creating conditions that discourage the growth of disease-causing bacteria.

This dual-action approach helps maintain digestive health, reduces the risk of scour and supports efficient digestion during this vital stage of development.

When to Use

• Newborn calves immediately after birth
• Bought-in calves
• Calves following digestive upsets
• Calves after antibiotic treatment

Feeding Instructions

Administer Provita Protect orally as directed for newborn calves at birth or when additional digestive support is required.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and veterinary advice.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
