EP 8: Transition Feeding: Preserving Preweaning Health Naturally - Part 1

Colostrum's value doesn't end at 24 hours and missing out could be the reason behind poor health outcomes in your calves. Sydney Fortier talks with SCCL Veterinary Consultant Dr. Lucia Pisoni and Calf Teach CFO Chuck Stokke about why transition feeding works, what colostrum keeps doing in the gut after the passive immunity window closes, and what changed on a ranch that pushes 120,000 calves a year.

In episode 8 of Beyond Colostrum: An SCCL Podcast, we dive into the first part of a two-part conversation about the potential benefits of transition feeding. Join me, Sydney Fortier and our guests SCCL Veterinary Consultant Dr. Lucia Pisoni and Calf Tech CFO Chuck Stokkee as we explore the physiological and production benefits to adopting a colostrum transition feeding protocol for preweaned calves. Discover how a ranch pushing 120,000 calves a year can feed milk replacer with no antibiotics and how science is showing a shift back to nature may be the best things we can do for the next generation of the herd. This episode provides valuable insights for producers navigating preweaning health challenges or looking to get their calves health and productivity to the next level.
