Performance By Design: Science-driven solutions for today’s calf raisers (Sponsored Podcast)

About this episode

This episode discusses science-driven solutions for calf raising, focusing on gut health and performance.

In this sponsorcast, IFF Animal Nutrition & Health highlights its science‑driven approach to helping calves start strong and perform predictably. Drawing on more than 40 years of animal microbiome and nutritional expertise, IFF discusses how early‑life stress can compromise gut health and long‑term performance in dairy calves and calf ranch systems. The conversation focuses on two complementary solutions: Omni‑Bos® CB, a three‑strain probiotic designed to support early gut development and reduce health challenges, and Betafin®, a naturally derived betaine that helps maintain hydration and gut integrity during stress—together supporting healthier calves from day one. This episode is sponsored by IFF Animal Nutrition & Health.
