Direct-Fed Microbials (DFM)
Tri-MicWD
A water dispersible Direct-Fed Microbial (DFM) specifically designed for calves. Promotes the early establishment of beneficial digestive bacteria necessary for proper digestion of milk and grain diets. Aids in rumen development when transitioning to a dry feed diet. Reduces the occurrence and severity of scours. Helps re-establish digestive bacteria following antibiotic treatment illness or environmental stress. Can be mixed into water milk replacer whole milk or rehydration products. Should be fed from birth through weaning.

Tri-Start Jr.
A Direct-Fed Microbial (DFM) for dairy and beef calves in bolus form. Helps stimulate feed intake during periods of change. Contains optimal levels of beneficial microbes necessary to jump-start a calf's stalled digestive system. Administer when calf is three days old to help make the transition from colostrum to whole milk or milk replacer. Also administer during any management-induced stress such as dehorning shipping or moving weaning vaccinations and antibiotic treatment.

What is Tri-Mic?
Tri-Mic products contain a direct fed microbial (DFM). DFMs, better known as "probiotics," are viable (live), naturally occurring, beneficial microorganisms. They have long been known to help maintain desirable digestive microflora populations by warding off undesirable pathogens.
What does Tri-Mic do?
Tri-Mic implants live rumen bacteria, which have a direct effect on digestion both for mature cows (in the rumen) and in calves (small intestine).
Tri-Mic stimulates rumen fungi and micro flora which increases lactic acid utilization.
Tri-Mic contains live-cell yeast which acts as an oxygen scavenger, which encourages an anaerobic environment needed for proper rumen micro flora function and growth.
How does Tri-Mic help the animal?
Increasing bug numbers improves fermentation by improving the environment for beneficial microbes which can lead to higher production in cows and a better growth in calves.
A stable healthy digestive environment allows for improved feed efficiency.
Providing beneficial microbes reduces the risk of pathogenic microbes becoming established in the digestive tract, which can improve overall animal health.
Healthy cows, with a stable digestive tract, are better equipped to absorb required nutrients needed for crucial biological functions such as reproduction.
What are the other advantages of using Tri-Mic?
Product stability
- Patented technologies that guarantee stability of the product.
Research backed.
Guaranteed viable microbe count
- Product is constantly tested to ensure that microbe count
exceeds the label guarantee.
Proven track record of success.
- Tri-Mic family of products have been used out in the field for over 15 years.
How does Tri-Mic compare to other direct-fed microbials?
In-vitro studies have shown that Tri-Mic exceeds performance in improved microbial protein synthesis, volatile fatty acid production and oxygen scavenging potential.
Bloating in Calves
The following risk factors for bloat in dairy calves are a summary of several field observations. Adapted from:
http://www.nwnyteam.org/AgFocus2007/Oct/BloatCalves.htm
and
http//www.dairyherd.com/adviser/cha_070625.htm
.
Colostrum collection, quality, and storage
Every effort should be made to provide clean quality colostrum (4 L as soon as possible after birth) to the calf in order to prevent bloat-causing bacteria from establishing in the calf's digestive tract.
Cleanliness of feeding equipment and calf hutches/pens
Pathogens that cause bloat are abundant in the environment, therefore cleaning and disinfecting feeding equipment between feedings and calf pens/hutches calves is a very important practice.
Consistency of milk replacer from feeding to feeding may be a factor (intervals, concentration of powder to water)
Consistency is very important. This refers to maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and consistent mixing protocols (ratio of powder to water).
Inadequate milk or milk replacer temperature
Feeding milk or milk replacer at 95 F or below may induce bloat. Feeding temperature should be closer to 101 F-102 F - the body temperature of a healthy calf.
Higher risk in the winter, which may be related to rapid cooling of milk replacer solution, resulting in milk temperature being significantly cooler than intended.
More common with higher feeding rates
Be careful when introducing high feeding rates, perhaps use a conservative step-up approach.
High feeding rates have been successfully implemented on several farms.
May be more common in higher protein milk replacer use
This observation is likely due to greater nutrient intake providing more substrate to organisms that lead to bloat.
Lactose levels do not appear to be a problem
Fast milk flow-rate through the nipple hole
Don't cut calf bottle nipples to increase the diameter of the hole. Replace nipples regularly to maintain proper hole diameter.
“Dunker†calves
These calves submerge their muzzles into the bucket and drink aggressively. Use a floating nipple or toy rubber duck to train these calves to drink slower.
Higher incidence without free choice water or quickly freezing free choice water
Water is the most important nutrient!
Usually occurs between 7-21 days of age, but has been seen in older calves
Farms have noted increasing temperature of water used for mixing replacer by several degrees only (108 F-114 F as an example) was coincidental with start of problems
These temperatures should not be a problem if a high quality milk replacer is fed.
Farms increasing liquid feeding rates in the cold weather on a 2X basis could avoid the problem by feeding 3X
