Shine Original

The best way to stay in control of your calf rearing

Once a day milk feeding has been proven worldwide for more than 30 years to produce calves on par with any other calf rearing system available.


Why does once a day milk-feeding work so well?

• Shine Original fed calves receive the same amount of milk powder as twice- a- day calves, but in a smaller volume.
• The once a day fed calves need to use less energy to excrete this extra liquid and they also eat more dry feed. Total energy intake is therefore higher so performance is better.
• Feeding calves once a day allows farmers to keep calves in small groups and there is no need to share teats. These two factors alone reduce disease spread and illness significantly.
• The day is more flexible so calves get more attention allowing sick animals to be treated and isolated faster.

How much time does it free up?

• Trials have demonstrated that farmers save 1 hour per calf reared and this is generally higher than on farm experience with computerised feeders.
• Calves can be weaned earlier saving money and time. As rumen development is better growth rates post weaning are higher.


Shine Original is used to rear over 250,000 calves every year because it gives more time and more control.
