Dairy calf health
Dairy calves
At Trouw Nutrition, our aim is to help farmers raise healthy, highly productive dairy cows. We’ve developed a range of science-based nutritional products and services to support the critical first months of a calf's life.
Over the last 15 years, innovation has brought calf feeding programmes away from a singular focus on cost-savings to be much more future-oriented and intensive, leading to better productivity for farmers. Our LifeStart calf rearing programme and Sprayfo milk replacers are helping to drive change across the globe.
Science-based nutrition for a lifetime of high performance
LifeStart research shows the significant impact of metabolic programming on organ development during the crucial first weeks that helps support the growth of a more robust cow with increased performance later in life.

LifeStart Swine: Nourishing animal and business potential
Symposium
Modern challenges are shaping a new reality for the global pork industry. Businesses have to navigate the “new normal”. The urge to produce healthy protein for a growing global population is challenging farmers to reinvent their business to do more with less while factoring in animal welfare and profitability. But two things have stayed as true as ever in this fast-paced industry: science can help you make the best decisions; and the earlier in your animals’ life phase you implement those decisions, the higher the potential to unlock lifelong results. With this in mind, Trouw Nutrition is delighted to invite you to the online conference LifeStart Swine, Nourishing Animal & Business Potential.
This digital event brings together the latest scientific findings and farm business practices to empower pig producers to lead sustainable, productive and economically viable businesses. The three-hour conference will take place on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, at two different times so people from all time zones can participate. More information will follow soon!
