International Ingredient Milk Chocolate Product is a high-quality feed ingredient derived from the chocolate, candy, and food industries. It's a great way to boost the nutrient quality and palatability of calf starter feeds. Inclusion rates of 2.50 to 10% of the calf starter ration are typical.

International Ingredient Chocolate Rumen Optimizer is a feed ingredient made from chocolate, high-sugar candies, cake mix, and cooked cereals. Chocolate Rumen Optimizer is a great source of energy derived from rapidly fermentable sugars and starches for high-producing dairy cows and beef cattle. In the final diet, a typical inclusion rate of 1-3 percent (0.5 to 2.0 lb/head/day) is used.

International Ingredient OptiStrum is a nutrient-dense dairy ingredient that contains highly digestible colostrum, casein, and fat to support the young calf's optimal health and growth. The raw material for OptiStrum is collected within the first 48 hours after calving from freshly calved dairy cows. In calf milk replacers, the recommended inclusion rate ranges from 1% to 10%.

International Ingredient Lactose is a milk sugar (a disaccharide of glucose and galactose with one molecule of water) fractionated and crystallized from whey streams during the cheese-making process. Lactose is commonly found in milk substitutes and dry starter feeds for dairy and veal calves. Lactose, as a nutrient, is thought to be essential for calves' optimal performance and gut health. Typical inclusion levels range from 5 to 20% of the diet.

International Ingredient RumenBiotic is a one-of-a-kind complex of simple sugars, dairy components, oligosaccharides, yeast, and fermentation products that provides rumen microbes with a rapidly fermentable energy source and growth factors. Improved feed intake, improved forage digestion, and increased protein utilization result in increased milk production in dairy cattle or increased weight gain in beef cattle. RumenBiotic is recommended for dairy and beef cattle at a rate of 454 grams/head/day.
