A Queen of Calves programme delivers reduced methane emissions.
Because methane is generated in the rumen, and Queen of Calves is deposited into the simple stomach of the calf, less methane is produced during feeding. Preliminary feed intake analysis by research consultancy Catalyst R&D Ltd estimated that at weaning there may be a reduction in methane emissions of up to 0.21kg CH4 per calf for a calf raised on a Queen of Calves programme compared to a calf raised on an identical diet less the addition of Queen of Calves.
For calculation purposes, estimate 41 kg less methane/or/880 kg less carbon dioxide, per 200 calves at weaning, the same as that produced by driving a medium sized petrol car from Auckland to Wellington 6 times.
New Zealand’s biggest contributor to methane production is agriculture. Work smarter and use the proven programme that converts feed to liveweight. Quicker!
Queen of Calves™ is a probiotic nutritional made from marine and land plant extracts, with beneficial bacterium, vitamins and proprietary components. It is designed to be added to milk and offered to calves to help them grow stronger and healthier and go on to be top producers.
The latest research from Massey University shows that the Queen of Calves programme is a superior calf nutrition programme compared to a conventional diet.
It provides:
[a] the calf with a better ratio of energy to digestible protein, and
[b] gets ‘both motors running’ in tandem for longer (see P11), providing sound rumen development, faster growth, enhanced skeletal development and earlier weaning.
Hello, I’m Stephen Bell-Booth, CEO, Bell-Booth Limited. We manufacture Queen of Calves and X-Factor. These products form part of a system we call The Queen of Calves Programme. Our partnership with Massey University began when the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research) Professor Nigel Long invited Bell-Booth to work alongside his team of professionals to test the findings Queen of Calves users had observed. Massey’s initial focus has been to look at the effect on calf growth and weaning. Future research will take an in-depth look at the energy and protein utilisation by calves.
I hope this guide provides you with useful information to help you achieve superior results. I welcome your feedback and suggestions.
