LIFELINE Pre-Calver Bucket
LIFELINE Pre-Calver: The Specialist Bucket for Calving Success
LIFELINE Pre-Calver is a unique, high-specification mineral and vitamin bucket designed to benefit both the cow and the unborn calf. Backed by independent farm trials, it is proven to increase colostrum quality (IgG) by up to 20%, ensuring your calves get the best possible start in life with superior passive immunity.
By supporting the cow’s transition period, this bucket helps minimize calving complications and prepares her for a successful return to the breeding cycle.
