Calf Testimonials
“The calves are in a better position to battle whatever comes towards them.”
Homer Farming runs three block‐calving dairy herds across multiple units, milking just under 900 cows and is supported by a team of 12-13 staff. They’ve built their business on strong team dynamics, clear KPIs, and robust calves.

“If the calves go down, they recover so much quicker than they used to.”
On their family-run dairy farm in the UK, Jolene Saunders and her family care for over 280 cows. Like many dairy farmers, they’ve tried countless calf products in the past with mixed results.
But after using Precision Microbes Probiotic and Postbiotic for Calves for over a year, Jolene says the difference is clear: calves are thriving, their coats are shiny and glossy, health issues are less frequent, and when calves do go down, they recover much quicker than before.

He is delighted with the results. Better calf performance and considerable improvements in calf health.
Kevin is the farm manager of 150 cow dairy farm in organic conversion. Like every farm, calf health was challenging, with scour and pneumonia being the two big challenges. While calf mortality was not an issue, it was the setbacks calves receive following an outbreak of scours that Kevin found the most frustrating.
Since starting Precision Microbes, feeding 30ml per calf per day right up to weaning, they have seen no disease issues in calves since and a very big improvement in calf health.

They were experiencing a lot of challenges, particularly with calf scour, and diarrheoa.
The McDermott family have an ever expanding dairy farm. Shane has been the chief calf rearer for the last number of years.
They started, like many farmers, using Precision Microbes to help calves recover from scour and diarrheoa. First using a dosage of 60ml daily orally for 5-7 days. (With very sick calves they would use 60ml twice daily for the first 3 days.) Seeing the product working well they went to long-term feeding of 30ml daily from birth across the farm.
The McDermotts’ have seen a transformation in calf health since using Precision Microbes as part of their program. They are now confidently looking at building new calf facilities and focussed on continual improvement. It is inspiring to hear their story and his dedication to their calves introducing Precision Microbes.

“Feeding Precision Microbes long term from day 1 to weaning means we’re ahead of the game.”
Peter says “It ticks so many boxes for us. We”ve seen calves remain healthier, higher growth rates, higher and weaning weights”. Peter goes onto say “We weighed calves at birth, again mid-way through their time on the milk feeder and again at weaning and we were seeing calves tripling birth weight”.
Feeding Precision Microbes long term means “We were seeing a lot less of the vet, we”re not losing days performance and ultimately less antibiotics on farm”.
“It”s a key tool for managing nutritional digestive upsets.”
— Peter Hynes, Dairy Farmer / Cork
“Cured scours within days...
We’re delighted with the results.”
Elaine and Pat Hickey are dairy farmers in Co-Westmeath, they also have two farms in Roscommon. Elaine rears all the heifers on the home farm with a big interest in calf health.
She was very impressed at how effective PM was at helping calves recover from dietary upsets. They are now making PM part of their routine from birth to weaning and will be feeding it through the automatic calf feeder, in the milk.
