Agri Calf Kick Start
£36.00
Turn a struggling, lethargic calf into a vigorous feeder with Nettex Calf Kick Start. This fast-acting, nutrient-dense energy booster is specifically formulated for weak, small, and unthrifty calves that lack the stamina to stand and suckle on their own. Whether dealing with a difficult birth or a calf recovering from sickness, Calf Kick Start delivers the rapid metabolic spark they need to survive and thrive.
The Critical Window: Calves that fail to stand and suckle within the first few hours of life are at an immediate, severe disadvantage. Without the energy to nurse, they cannot absorb life-saving colostrum antibodies, leaving them completely vulnerable to disease.

Why Choose Calf Kick Start?
Every dairy and beef farmer knows the frustration of a “flat” or unthrifty calf that refuses to get up. Cold, exhaustion, or a difficult calving can deplete the calf’s natural glycogen reserves within minutes.
Agri Calf Kick Start from Nettex, bypasses sluggish digestion to provide an immediate, highly available surge of energy and essential nutrients. A dose will rapidly raise blood glucose levels, stimulate the calf’s natural suckle reflex and get them onto their feet. It acts as the perfect bridging tool, giving them the strength to consume their vital first milk or maternal colostrum.
