Bloom Feeds has launched its premium calf milk replacer range, TopMilk, designed to give young calves the best possible nutritional start. Using a calf milk replacer offers several important benefits for farmers, including
1. Greater nutritional consistency.
2. Reduced disease transmission.
3. A lower risk of antimicrobial resistance developing within the farm gate.
Once a suitable milk replacer is chosen, farmers can implement a structured feeding plan to help calves achieve their daily growth targets with confidence. Bloom Feeds TopMilk range is available in both skim‑based and whey‑based formulations, allowing farmers to choose the product that best suits their rearing system and performance goals.
TopMilk 60 - Skim Based
TopMilk 60 is a premium skim‑based milk replacer containing an impressive 60% skim content and 100% dairy protein. Dairy protein is naturally easier for young calves to digest compared with vegetable‑based alternatives, it supports smoother digestion and improved nutrient absorption.
A key advantage of high‑skim replacers is the presence of an enzyme that enables clotting in the calf’s stomach. This clotting effect helps calves feel fuller for longer and promotes steady nutrient release. TopMilk 60 delivers 24% crude protein, 18% fat content and includes added probiotics and oregano to support immunity. Thanks to its slow casein digestion, it is ideal for once‑a‑day feeding systems.
TopMilk 40 - Skim Based
Topmilk 40 is a skim‑based calf milk replacer formulated with 40% skim content and 100% dairy protein, giving young calves a highly digestible and nutritional start. Like TopMilk 60 the use of dairy protein supports efficient clot formation in the calf’s stomach, helping nutrients release slowly and steadily throughout the day.
With 22% protein and 20% fat, Topmilk 40 delivers a well‑balanced nutritional profile suitable for a wide range of calf‑rearing systems. Its formulation makes it an excellent choice for both dairy and beef‑bred calves, offering dependable performance. Thanks to its slow casein digestion, Topmilk 40 is also well‑suited to once‑a‑day feeding programmes, providing flexibility for labour‑efficient systems without compromising calf development.
TopMilk Heifer - Whey Based
For farmers focused on developing strong, efficient dairy heifers, Topmilk Heifer is a high‑protein whey‑based milk replacer formulated for lean muscle development. Formulated with 26% protein and 18% fat, it supports rapid early growth and encourages early concentrate intake—key factors in successful heifer rearing. Topmilk Heifer is best suited to twice‑a‑day feeding programmes, ensuring consistent nutrient delivery during this crucial growth phase.
