Question 1

What is THRIVE™ and why should I use it for milk-fed calves?

Accepted Answer

THRIVE™ is a next-generation medicated calf milk supplement delivering comprehensive calf health in one convenient daily supplement. Featuring the advanced THRIVE™ Triple-Action Synbiotic™, Bovatec® and premium nutritional technologies, it supports gut health, immunity and healthy growth throughout the milk-fed period.

Question 2

Why should I add a milk additive to whole milk?

Accepted Answer

Whole milk provides an excellent nutritional foundation for young calves, but it may not consistently supply all the micronutrients and functional ingredients needed to optimise health, growth and performance during the milk-fed period. THRIVE™ helps bridge this gap by providing soluble vitamins, organic trace minerals, advanced gut health technologies and proven nutritional support to help manage protozoal challenges such as coccidiosis and cryptosporidiosis. Rather than simply supplementing nutrients, THRIVE™ combines advanced nutrition, gut health technologies and Bovatec® in one convenient daily supplement to help calves thrive from Day 2 through to weaning.

Question 3

What makes THRIVE™ different from other calf milk additives?

Accepted Answer

THRIVE™ has been developed as an all-in-one, best-in-class formulation built around the THRIVE™ Triple-Action Synbiotic™, combining prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics with Bovatec®, premium yeast technologies and Australia's only calf milk supplement formulated with Actisaf® Sc 47. It also delivers an industry-leading 28 billion live probiotic CFU per dose. This comprehensive approach supports gut health and resilience, feed efficiency, growth and immunity while simplifying calf rearing with one convenient daily supplement.

Question 4

Does THRIVE™ help prevent calf scours and support gut health?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The THRIVE™ Triple-Action Synbiotic™ combines prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to support a healthy, resilient intestinal microbiome. Together with Celmanax®, Safmannan® and other functional ingredients, it helps support gut integrity, immune function and resilience during the critical milk-fed period. Research on key ingredients has demonstrated reduced incidence, severity and duration of scours, including cryptosporidiosis, while supporting defence against enteric pathogens such as E.coli and Salmonella. Together, these technologies help rear healthier calves that require less intervention, allowing producers to spend less time treating sick calves and more time growing productive animals.

Question 5

Does THRIVE™ help control coccidiosis and manage cryptosporidium?

Accepted Answer

Yes. THRIVE™ contains Bovatec® (lasalocid), approved for the control of the clinical signs of coccidiosis and the reduction of faecal shedding caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii in growing cattle. It also incorporates an evidence-based nutritional strategy designed to support calves before, during and after cryptosporidium challenge. Together, these technologies help calves maintain health and growth during one of the highest-risk stages of early life.

Question 6

Can THRIVE™ improve calf growth and feed efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. THRIVE™ is formulated to support calves in reaching their genetic growth potential. It is Australia's only calf milk supplement formulated with Actisaf® Sc 47 live yeast technology, which research has shown can improve feed conversion efficiency (FCE) by up to 20% and average daily gain (ADG) by up to 24%. Actisaf® also supports rumen development, feed intake, digestion and immune function. Better feed conversion means calves can make more efficient use of every litre of milk, supporting healthier growth and improved returns on your calf-rearing investment.

Question 7

Can I feed THRIVE™ on the first day of life?

Accepted Answer

No. THRIVE™ should not be fed to newborn calves during the first 24 hours of life because it contains Bovatec® (lasalocid), which should not be fed during this period. Calves should first receive an adequate intake of high-quality colostrum before THRIVE™ is introduced from Day 2 onwards. This ensures calves receive the essential passive immunity and nutrition they need immediately after birth before transitioning onto their milk supplementation program.

Question 8

When should I start feeding THRIVE™, and how long should I use it?

Accepted Answer

Once calves have received adequate high-quality colostrum during their first 24 hours of life, THRIVE™ can be introduced from Day 2 onwards. Feed 10 g per calf per day until weaning. The ideal feeding duration will vary depending on your calf-rearing system, disease pressure and production goals, but feeding throughout the milk-fed period provides the best opportunity to support gut health and resilience, healthy growth and overall calf performance.

Question 9

Can I use THRIVE™ with whole milk or calf milk replacer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. THRIVE™ is designed to be mixed into whole milk or non-medicated calf milk replacer, making it easy to integrate into existing calf-rearing systems. Its convenient all-in-one formulation delivers comprehensive nutritional and gut health support in a single daily supplement, reducing the need for multiple additives while simplifying daily calf feeding.

Question 10

What benefits can THRIVE™ deliver for calf rearers?

Accepted Answer

Healthy calves are easier and more efficient to rear. By supporting gut health and resilience, immunity, healthy growth and comprehensive protozoal protection in one convenient daily supplement, THRIVE™ helps reduce disease pressure, minimise labour and treatment costs, and eliminate the need for multiple individual additives. Its all-in-one formulation simplifies daily feeding while giving producers confidence they're delivering comprehensive nutritional and gut health support every day. The result is healthier calves, greater confidence throughout the milk-fed period and a stronger foundation for future herd performance.
