Proud to offer Palm Oil-Free & GM-Free Calf Milk Replacers for Healthier Calves | Bonanza Calf Nutrition

At Bonanza Calf Nutrition, we are proud to offer palm oil-free and GM-free calf milk replacers designed to support optimal calf health, performance and digestibility from day one.

Choosing the right calf milk replacer is one of the most important decisions in early calf nutrition. Our formulations focus on high-quality ingredients, carefully balanced protein and fat sources, and low heat processing to ensure nutrients remain highly digestible and bioavailable.

Why Choose a Palm Oil-Free Calf Milk Replacer?

Palm oil is commonly used as a fat source in milk replacers, but not all fats are equal when it comes to digestibility and performance.

Our palm oil-free formulations:

Support improved fat digestion
Promote consistent growth rates
Help maintain strong appetite and thrive
Provide a carefully selected fat blend suited to young calves

By using alternative high-quality fat sources, we prioritise calf health and long-term performance.

The Benefits of GM-Free Calf Nutrition

Our GM-free calf milk replacers are formulated using non-genetically modified ingredients. This offers:

Transparency in ingredient sourcing
Peace of mind for farmers and supply chains
Alignment with market demands for non-GM feeding systems

For many producers, GM-free feeding is an important part of their farm’s sustainability and marketing strategy.

Low Heat Processing for Better Digestibility

Protein quality matters. That’s why Bonanza calf milk replacers are produced using controlled, low heat processing methods to protect sensitive milk proteins.

This helps to:

Improve protein digestibility
Support gut health
Reduce nutritional stress
Encourage efficient weight gain

Healthy digestion in the early weeks lays the foundation for lifetime performance.

Supporting Strong Starts and Lifetime Performance

Early nutrition influences:

Immunity development
Frame growth
Feed conversion efficiency
Future milk production potential

By investing in a high-quality, palm oil-free and GM-free milk replacer, farmers can help calves achieve stronger, more consistent starts.
