Vet changing lives of small-scale pig farmers
Cilliers Louw was inspired by his father to become a vet and today, in a collaboration between Sappo and the Western Cape department of agriculture, Louw is helping 400 small-scale pig farmers across the country.
At Kalvolac, we always strive to do better. That’s why we developed our innovative gut health formula IMAGRO®. Alongside colostrum, proper digestion of milk makes a vital contribution to the health of calves. The IMAGRO® intestinal health formula already promoted digestion in the stomach and large intestine, and now also contains an emulsifier!

This quantity of colostrum is sufficient to feed a calf once or preferably twice. “The first colostrum is always the best,” explained the young cattle specialists. “Try to use it in the second and third feed, too.” In order to ingest sufficient antibodies, the young calf must have been fed six litres of colostrum in the first 24 hours.
