Protecting Your Investment With Aureo S 700®
As with most investments, the sooner you begin -
the bigger the long-term rewards.
This especially holds true for calves.
The first few weeks in the life of a calf are the most critical
in terms of health protection. The newborn calf enters
a world saturated with pathogens and
little protection against disease organisms.
Timing of treatment is a key factor when using
medicated feed for your calves. The more you know,
the more informed decision you’ll be able to make
to protect your investment.

Treating Early Can Make A Sizable Difference
Even before calves show signs of illness, sub-clinical infections can silently erode gains. Treating calves early, before they become clinically ill, provides antimicrobials to those calves not easily recognizable as sick.- Research shows that Aureo S 700® helps calves fight
off important respiratory bacteria.
- Antimicrobials don’t kill all the targeted bacteria. The calf must eliminate infection on its own, with the aid of a healthy immune system.
- Thus, any action by antimicrobials that is deleterious to bacteria helps the calf overcome infection.
- Recent findings show that Aureo S 700 effectively reduces the growth
of both Haemophilus somnus and Mannheimia haemolytica,1 helping the calf overcome infection with these two important respiratory bacteria.
- Aureo S 700 is even more effective in healthy-appearing calves - so why wait?
- Research suggests that pretreatment - prior to fever - is more likely to be effective in the treatment or prevention of BRD.1
- This supports the philosophy that Aureo S 700 should be used early
in disease onset when calves are not critically ill.1
- Aureo S 700 is proven to reduce lung lesions caused by H. somnus by 88%.2
- Only Aureo S 700 contains both Aureomycin® and sulfamethazine in each granule,
along with the Aureomycin guarantee.
- Aureo S 700 granulation ensures uniform distribution so calves get a full effective dose.
- Granular formulation flows freely with minimum dust and fines.
- Feedmill studies show that carry-over risk is reduced by using granular products.3
