A weaning program is only successful if calves go to the feed bunk early and often. Nutrition sets the foundation for weaning success, impacting everything from calf immune function and stress response to long-term performance.That’s why Purina® Plus is built around a preconditioning program with highly palatable and research-proven Purina® starter and transition feeds. Calves get the nutritional start they need, so preconditioning tools like vaccines and dewormers can work effectively.4
