Purina Animal Nutrition Focuses on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Introduction
Purina Animal Nutrition is committed to promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by focusing on the first days of a young animal’s life. Olivia Genther Schroeder, the organization’s senior Technical Innovation Manager for Calf-Milk Replacer and Dairy, emphasizes the importance of this early life period for animals.
Setting the Stage for Long-Term Success
Genther Schroeder explains that the early life period is critical for determining the long-term performance of animals. It is during this time that the foundation is laid for their ultimate success. The goal is to raise resilient calves that can effectively handle and recover from various stresses.
- A resilient calf can resist challenges more effectively.
- A resilient calf can recover quickly and efficiently from stresses.
Purina Animal Nutrition focuses on milk replacer and starter nutrition in young calves to ensure their long-term success.
