Escherichia coli and Salmonella in calves
Enteric diseases are the most frequently encountered problem affecting calves during their first weeks of life. Diarrhea causes substantial weight loss in calves, increasing mortality rates and necessitating costly and complex interventions. Applying new antibacterial solutions will allow preventing and controlling this type of diseases in a better way.
PHAGEIN
A bacteriophage-enriched powder feed additive specifically designed to prevent infectious diarrhea caused by E.coli and Salmonella spp. in lactating ruminants, developed by PhageLab and distributed by MSD.

“Currently many dairy farmers, concerned about the health and welfare of their calves, are using PHAGEIN to control and prevent neonatal diarrhea caused by bacteria such as Salmonella and E.coli, with excellent results, as they maintain the health and future productivity of their breeding, it is a supplement that is very easy to use, and the results are observed quickly”.
Increased animal performance and welfare.
Advantages and key features
Increased animal performance and protection.
Reduces the duration and severity of diarrhea during the whole lactation period.
Its use generates an increase in weight gain at the end of the lactation period.
It allows for reducing the days of breeding, reducing the days of rearing, and shortening the necessary times of rearing and care in the field.
Easy product administration
PHAGEIN is used daily in milk replacer, milk or other liquid feed for administration to calves.
PHAGEIN should always be stored in a cool, dry place protected from direct light.
PHAGEIN is for animal feed use only.
