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.
