Trends Favoring Nutritional Enhancements in Milk Replacers
Improving the nutritional value of milk replacers is becoming a major trend within the market. Leading companies are focusing on boosting the nutrient content of their products to maintain competitive advantage and meet evolving livestock health needs. For example, in February 2024, Mole Valley Farmers from the UK introduced ProtéGo, a calf formula designed to support better calf health and growth. Inspired by colostrum-the first milk produced by mammals-ProtéGo contains essential bioactive components that promote gut health and immune system development.

This innovative formula ensures adequate levels of immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM), all known to enhance disease resistance and encourage higher weight gain in calves. Crafted with carefully selected, low heat-treated dairy ingredients, ProtéGo provides the energy and protein necessary for healthy calf development, especially during the critical early weeks of life.
