Precision feeding is an advanced approach to animal nutrition that tailors nutrient delivery to the specific needs of each stage of growth and development. This method improves feed utilization, supports digestive health, and enhances long-term productivity by meeting the unique metabolic demands of different life stages. By aligning nutrition with growth requirements, precision feeding helps producers maximize efficiency while promoting sustainable and profitable livestock management. With the launch of Mapleview Precision Start, Mapleview is offering an opportunity to ensure calves receive targeted nutrition from the start for better long-term performance.

Designed to provide stage-specific nutrition for the first three weeks of a calf’s life, during the critical period when they require a properly balanced high-energy and nutrient-dense formulation to support early growth, immune function, and digestive development. Feeding Precision Start for three weeks, followed by a high-quality milk replacer until weaning, ensures calves receive stage-specific nutrition, setting the foundation for higher production and long-term health.

Features and Benefits:

  • Functional proteins for immune support during early stages of development
  • Ingredients that have naturally occurring Lactoferrin, a key bioactive compound that plays a critical role in iron metabolism, bacterial defense, and reducing inflammation in the gut
  • High-quality Canadian skim milk ensures proper clot formation in the abomasum, which is crucial for controlled protein digestion, improving early growth rates and overall health.
  • Medium chain fatty acids provide a readily available energy source that is rapidly absorbed and metabolized
  • Formulation maintains a lower osmolarity, ensuring proper fluid balance, improved digestibility, and better overall feed efficiency

Manual Mixing Instructions

  1. First determine the number of litres of milk to be fed.
  2. Measure half of this volume as hot (47-60 degree) water.
  3. To determine the amount of powder use a scale and weigh 130g (150g in cold temperatures) times the number of litres of milk to be fed. (eg. 15L of milk requires 15 x 130g which equals 2kg of powder.)
  4. Add this milk replacer to the hot water and mix until dissolved.
  5. Add remaining water to obtain desired volume aiming for a final drinking temperature of 40-44 C. Re-mix prior to feeding.

Computer Feeder Instructions

  1. Calibrate the computer to add 150g (175g in cold temperatures) of milk replacer per litre of water dispensed.

  • The milk replacer mixes very well. The deccox included prevents diseases and issues from forming with the calves. And we find the growth rate in the calves has increased compared to when we used the competitors.

  • We are using Mapleview Sure Start milk replacer. What I like about the product is that no matter the season or how many calves I have, it’s an easy product to mix and make smaller to larger portions. Our calves are healthy and happy.

  • We initially switched to Mapleview Advanced Calf + Deccox about a year ago because it was competitively priced, but we also didn’t want to sacrifice calf performance. We have been very satisfied with the product; it mixes so easily and the calves love it! We also find the calves rebound quicker after any intestinal issues and have excellent metabolisms.

  • We have been feeding our calves Mapleview milk replacers for 8 years now, and have been very happy with the results. Mapleview always mixes so well, and is competitively priced. Our calves grow extremely well on Mapleview and the palatability is great, and we have found that feeding the Mapleview Advanced Calf + Deccox has also resulted in further improvements in calf health, and a reduction in scours.
