    Heifer with digestive issue?

    Instead of upping the protein I would highly suggest that you give your heifer some Kaolin Pectin Solution. If she has had diarrhea for a while or scours there is an imbalance of the bacteria at work in her intestines and she isn’t digesting her nutrients like she should. Kaolin will help...
