Moozlee
Premium starter feed for young calves
Suitable for both beef calves and dairy heifer replacements.
An extremely palatable and nutritious feed which contains a mix of fibre, quality grains and protein meals, molasses, vitamins, minerals and a coccidiostat. Specifically formulated to encourage hard feed intake to stimulate early rumen development, Moozlee gives calves the head start they need to reach their full potential.
Key Benefits and Features
- Moozlee flavourant for enhanced palatability and early feed intakes.
- Highly digestible grains for early rumen development.
- Early rumen development reduces the risk of feed intake checks at weaning.
- Vitamin and mineral package for optimal health and development.
- Bovatec® to aid in the prevention of coccidiosis.
- PKE free.
Feeding Recommendation
Introduce NRM Moozlee to calves in the first week of life. Intakes will be small at first, but will increase over time. Ensure fresh feed is put out each day and clean out troughs frequently.
You may wish to switch calves to a pelleted feed such as NRM GrowUp® 20% as calves get older. If doing this, transition over to a pelleted feed by mixing the NRM Moozlee and NRM GrowUp® 20% pellets together for a few days before fully transitioning over to the pellet. Wean calves off milk gradually at 65kg minimum weight, when consuming 1kg of Moozlee per day. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available.

Feeding recommendation to aid in the control of coccidiosis
To aid in the control of coccidiosis, minimum dose rate of 5mg Bovatec®/kg liveweight (1mg lasalocid sodium/kg liveweight) is required per day. Up to twice this dose rate is indicated where severe coccidial challenge is expected or a wide range of individual liveweights occur within a group.
