Fresh approaches to milk replacers
New innovations for optimal nutrition support
Country Junction Feeds, headquartered in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, and serving customers across Canada and into the U.S., is among the leaders in broadening the availability of integrated young animal nutrition solutions, including advanced milk replacer options for dairy calves, beef calves, piglets, lambs and kid-goats.
Most recently this has included a joint marketing and distribution partnership with Canadian Nurs-ette Distributors Ltd. – a long-time pioneer and leader in providing advanced milk replacer solutions.
The next generation of Nurs-ette
“Milk replacers and related young animal nutritional strategies have come a long way,” says Ken Nyback, General Manager of Canadian Nurs-ette Distributors Ltd, which is based in Camrose, Alberta. “The level of customization and sophistication for different species and needs is much higher across the board compared to even just a few years ago. Ingredient sourcing and product formulation have seen a lot more attention and improvement to ensure top quality, efficacy and ease of use. The opportunities to optimize energy and nutrients have advanced greatly, with solutions that are better absorbed and utilized by the animals.”
Top quality options
Rising demand for the latest generation versions of top Nurs-ette options, such as DeLuxe milk replacers and Milk-Bits™ milk-based pellets, has driven a dramatic manufacturing and distribution expansion for the company, supported by the new collaborative effort with Country Junction Feeds, says Nyback.
Customers across Canada and into the U.S. can expect strong access and supply to meet a broad range of needs. All feed and feed additive products manufactured and supplied via the Country Junction Feeds network meets ionophore-free, antibiotic-free standards.
“Taking advantage of new and improved ways to raise and care for animals, and to support the increasing all-natural, welfare-friendly demands of the marketplace, is good for everyone involved,” says Nyback. “Milk replacers are just one tool with a very specific role. But given what we’re learning today about young animal nutrition, that role has arguably never been more important.”
