USDA researchers have developed an anti-stress formula that may one day help you alleviate transport stress in young calves.
Calves fed the supplement prior to transport had lower levels of fibrinogen, a liver protein that typically increases with stress, than non-supplemented calves. They also had higher immunoglobulin-G levels. The formula contained electrolytes, beta-glucan from yeast-cell walls and vitamin C. More work is under way to determine the supplement’s mode of action on the immune system.
