Feeding guide

Feed as the sole ration to calves weaning off the cow up to 3% of bodyweight. Tucker Prime Preconditioner can be fed for 30 to 45 days to initiate efficient growth and help boost the immune system of newly weaned or transported calves before transitioning to Tucker Prime Grower and Finisher. You can continue to feed Tucker Prime Preconditioner for as long as adequate average daily gain is achieved. Always provide fresh clean water and adequate forage. Can be paired with weather-resistant, premium quality free choice minerals such as Tucker Elements.

Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag. Questions? Ask our nutritionist or call (256) 582-2552.

Features & benefits

  • Formulated to help newly weaned calves manage the stress of weaning and transportation.
  • Chromium propionate supports growth performance under stress, efficient energy metabolism, and lean muscle growth.
  • A synergistic blend of botanical ingredients and probiotics work together to optimize rumen fermentation.
  • Organic trace minerals and rumen-protected grape extract support immune function and mitigate the negative effects of stress.

Our premium Preconditioner Feed is expertly designed to support calves during the critical weaning transition period. This specialized pelleted formula combines essential nutrients, immune system boosters, and highly digestible ingredients to minimize stress and maintain strong health during this challenging phase. Enhanced with targeted vitamins, minerals, and proteins, our feed promotes consistent growth while supporting respiratory and digestive health. The palatable pellet form encourages steady intake, helping maintain body condition and reducing the risk of post-weaning complications. By investing in proper nutrition during this crucial period, producers can significantly reduce veterinary costs, minimize setbacks, and set their calves up for improved long-term performance and profitability.
