3 THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS STARTS WITH NUTRITION Starting calves off on a solid foundation from day one is critical to their success and the future success of your herd. The foundation includes nutrition and builds with colostrum, water, electrolytes, housing and sanitation. Solid nutrition must be the bedrock of this foundation. If we aren t meeting calves nutritional requirements early in life, they may not perform as well down the road. Feeding calves a full potential diet of 2.5 pounds of milk solids per day heavily impacts calf growth and future milk production. This level of nutrition is recommended as the first option by Land O Lakes Animal Milk Products Company. Even calves fed the best nutrition can face challenges and stress that may impact their growth and performance. Our complete line of Calf Care products is a complement to any nutrition program to help calves fight challenges and get back on track to grow. For more than 60 years, Land O Lakes Animal Milk Products Company has been the leader in innovative research and nutrition programs for pre-weaned calves, and we continue to focus on research-proven technologies and products to help all calves reach their potential.

4 LAND O LAKES Replacement is available in single dose packages (# ) and a 40 dose pail (# ). NEWBORN BOVINE IgG LAND O LAKES COLOSTRUM REPLACEMENT Replacement Newborn calves require quality nutrition and natural antibodies within 6 hours of birth to get off to a healthy start. This product is licensed by the USDA as a single-dose, colostrum replacement. A necessity to a newborn s health and vitality, nutrientrich colostrum provides calves with antibodies and immunoglobulins during the first hours of life, leaving a lasting impact on long-term health and performance. LAND O LAKES Replacement is a single dose replacement for maternal colostrum in the first day of life: Provides 100 grams or more of IgG in 16.6 oz (470g) of powder (>20% IgG) Made from natural bovine colostrum Helps achieve successful passive transfer
5 management is a key component to raising healthy, pre-weaned calves. A successful program follows these principles: QUALITY should provide enough IgG (immunoglobulin G) to achieve serum IgG levels greater than 10 mg/ml, should be low in bacteria and cleanly collected and fed. QUANTITY Feed 10% of body weight to the calf at first feeding. QUICKNESS Feed within the first 6 hours of life, because a calf s ability to absorb IgG drops dramatically during the first 24 hours of life (see graph). replacement can replace maternal colostrum and get calves off to a bio-secure start when faced with: Poor sanitation situations Low quality maternal colostrum Dangerous levels of bacteria numbers in maternal colostrum Johne s disease SERUM IgG 1 (g/l) PROTEIN ABSORPTION ABILITY DECLINES QUICKLY AFTER BIRTH HOURS POST-BIRTH Modified from: The Compendium 15:335, DIRECTIONS Use a whisk or electric mixer to thoroughly mix the powder into water. Water temperature should be hot to the touch, around 120 F or 49 C. Feed all product immediately after reconstitution. Calves should be fed as soon as possible after birth, and no later than 6 hours of age. Provide calves free choice water at all times.

7 LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Base is available in a 25 lb. bag (# ). LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Add Pack is available in a 3 lb. canister (# ). ADDRESSES THE IMPACT OF SCOURS ELECTROLYTE SYSTEM BASE + ADD PACK Scours can occur as a result of pathogens and stressors, leading to electrolyte loss and dehydration. LAND O LAKES Electrolyte System is designed to maintain hydration during this critical period. LAND O LAKES Electrolyte System provides electrolytes and essential fluids when young calves are dehydrated, exposed to heat or cold stress or experience electrolyte loss. The LAND O LAKES Electrolyte System is composed of two parts. The Base provides needed electrolytes and essential fluids, and the Add Pack, combined with the Base, assists with electrolyte transport and helps maintain proper body fluid levels. Electrolyte System
8 BASE ADDRESS SCOURS EARLY Composed of high dextrose for quick energy and Vitamin B Complex, the Electrolyte System Base provides beneficial electrolytes through its advanced suspension technology. The Base is a useful tool to use at the first signs of scours, before visible signs of dehydration. The product should also be fed before stressful events such as a long transport, introduction of new calves to the group, or hot and humid weather. ADD PACK TREATMENT Formulated to only be fed with the Electrolyte System Base, the Electrolyte System Add Pack should be mixed in the Base and administered 2 to 3 times per day. Glycine assists with electrolyte transport, and sodium acetate serves as an alkalinizing agent to help maintain proper body fluid ph levels. Use the Add Pack, in combination with the Base, at the first visible signs of severe scours. It s important that milk or milk replacer feeding be continued when calves scour as both the liquid and nutrients are needed from the normal diet. Very few electrolyte formulations contain enough calories to support maintenance and gain. Nutrients derived from milk or milk replacer are important to help the calf to overcome the scour challenge. MIXING GUIDE DIRECTIONS Base The Electrolyte System Base is formulated for up to two feedings per day. When mixing the Base, water temperature should be between 110 F and 120 F. Regardless of size, the composition must be mixed thoroughly. Using a bottle or pail, two quarts of Base should be fed per calf. Do not mix LAND O LAKES Electrolyte System Base with milk or milk replacer. Provide free choice low sodium water (less than 50 ppm sodium) at all times or at least between electrolyte feedings. Keep container tightly closed between uses. The Electrolyte System Add Pack should only be used with the Electrolyte System Base. Use 110 F to 120 F water to activate the suspension technology. If a suckling calf won t drink, the Electrolyte System is safe to drench. If the animal is severely dehydrated, consult your veterinarian.

9 LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete is available in a 25 lb. bag (# ), a 10 lb. pail (# ), or single dose pouch (# ). LAND O LAKES Multi Species Electrolyte Complete is available in a 5 lb. pail (# ). DEHYDRATION ELECTROLYTE COMPLETE An electrolyte that provides nutritional support for calves Calves get scours from a variety of pathogens and stressors. Maintaining hydration and nutrients is critical. Like humans, calves are made up of mostly water, making it critical to maintain hydration. Calves can lose 5 percent to 10 percent of their bodyweight due to water loss within one day of scouring. Fluid loss above 8 percent requires intravenous treatment. LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete provides nutritional support for calves with one, easy-to-use package. Electrolyte Complete
10 SEVERITY OF DEHYDRATION Dehydration (%) Designed to provide calves nutritional support during health challenges and periods of stress, LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete replaces electrolytes and provides essential nutrients to maintain hydration. Unlike many other electrolyte products on the market, LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete does not contain direct-fed microbials which can contribute to acidosis in the scouring calf. LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete provides excellent intake and top performance from a cost-effective product.

DIRECTIONS Do not mix LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete with milk or milk replacer. When mixing this product, water temperature should be between 110 F and 120 F. Feed 2 quarts (1.9 L) of LAND O LAKES Electrolyte Complete solution per calf every 6-8 hours up to a maximum of 6 quarts (5.7 L) in a 24 hour period. Feed in between milk feedings or administer with an esophageal feeder when necessary. Provide free choice low sodium water (less than 50 ppm) at all times or at least between electrolyte feedings. Keep container tightly closed between uses. If the animal is severely dehydrated, consult your veterinarian. Electrolyte Complete
11 LAND O LAKES Calf Insure is available in a 25 lb. pail (# ) and an 8 lb. pouch (# ). With FulFill Feed Additive SUPPORT IMMUNITY CALF INSURE LAND O LAKES CALF SUPPLEMENT Maintaining gut health is important to the health of all animals, especially young calves which are not born with a completely developed rumen or digestive system. The gut wall serves as a barrier between the animal and its environment, keeping harmful bacteria out of the blood. This barrier is critical for development of young calves. Calves with a healthy gut and digestive system can grow more rapidly and are more feed efficient. A calf s gastrointestinal tract affects its ability to absorb nutrients. The more nutrients young calves are provided, the better equipped they can be to recover from stressors. Calf Insure Insure is a registered trademark of Land O Lakes, Inc. Victus is a registered trademark of DSM Nutritional Products FulFill is a trademark of PMI Nutritional Additives
12 LAND O LAKES Calf Insure is an effective way to increase the numbers of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to help maintain gut health and support digestion. Calf Insure has high levels of antioxidant vitamins to support immune function and its non-medicated formula requires no withdrawal period. All bacteria in Calf Insure have been tested and do not produce harmful D-lactate. Calf Insure is formulated with Victus Calf, delivering a nutrient platform to support immune function, plus Fulfill Feed Additive, a prebiotic derived from a specific strain of yeast which helps support gut integrity. ACTIVE ELEMENTS Direct Fed Microbials including a calf-specific bacillus Fulfill Feed Additive at 4 grams per day supports gut health Victus Calf delivers an antioxidant platform to support immune function Vitamin C at 200 milligrams per day supports immune function Added B vitamins for appetite improvement and to replace vitamins lost during pasteurization of milk DIRECTIONS Feed an initial 5x dose (36 g or 0.08 lb) or feed two initial doses of 22 g or 0.05 lb. After the initial dose, feed ¼ oz (7.1 g or lb) per feeding (based on 2x daily feeding). Start feeding LAND O LAKES Calf Insure at the first feeding after colostrum, and feed it for at least 14 or 21 days. Product can be mixed into pasteurized milk or milk replacer. For large batches: Feed 1 lb per 64 calves per feeding or 1 lb per 32 calves daily. Keep container tightly closed between uses. Keep cool; refrigerate if possible. Calf Insure Calf Insure calf supplement contains Victus Calf antioxidant platform, which when mixed, will appear orange.
13 SmartCare is available in a 5 kg size bag (# ). MEDICATED TREATMENT SmartCare A healthy natural start SmartCare is a safe, natural nutritional health product used in liquid calf diets from day one to weaning. It works well with whole milk and milk replacers. How does SmartCare work? Optimizes gastrointestinal development Balances Immune system DIRECTIONS Prepare SmartCare to feed at the rate of 1 gram (red scoop) per calf per day in milk or milk replacer. Add to prepared milk or milk replacer and mix until dissolved. Heat milk or milk replacer (with SmartCare ) to F for feeding near calf body temperature. If a calf scours, continue feeding milk or milk replacer with SmartCare while providing treatment. SmartCare SmartCare is a registered trademark of Diamond V Store in a cool, dry place and keep the container closed tightly.
14 ClariFly Add-Pack is available in 25 lb. bags (# ). FLY CONTROL ClariFly Add-Pack Aids in fly prevention ClariFly Add-Pack is used with whole milk or reconstituted milk replacer to help the control of house flies, face flies, stable flies and horn flies that develop in calf manure. Adding ClariFly is compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. ClariFly Add-Pack is formulated to: Decrease spread of disease Support healthy, more comfortable calves that are more productive Help provide a better work environment for calf employees ClariFly Add-Pack
15 ACTIVE ELEMENTS The active ingredient, Diflubenzuron, is considered by the EPA to pose a low risk: To human health For use with either whole milk or reconstituted milk replacer DIRECTIONS For maximum effectiveness, begin feeding ClariFly Larvicide early in the spring, 30 days before flies begin to appear, and continue feeding throughout the summer and into the fall until cold weather reduces or ends fly activity. To minimize the number of overwintering pupae, feed ClariFly Larvicide 30 days past first frost. The actual feeding period will depend on the regional climate. Starting a program during the fly season will require the use of other fly control measures to reduce existing adult fly populations. Dosage is relative to calf body weight and should equate to 0.1 mg. of Diflubenzuron per kg. of body weight per day. For individual calves, dosage of Add-Pack should equal 1 tsp. per 120 lb. of body weight or 0.1 oz. per 100 lb. of body weight.
