20% Calf Starter
Texturized, Medicated Calf Starter Designed to Drive Early Intake and Rumen Development — Featuring Deccox® (Decoquinate) for Coccidiosis Prevention
Nutritional Analysis
Protein: 20% Fat: 5% Fiber: 8%
Contains Deccox® (decoquinate) for the prevention of coccidiosis in calves/cattle
The starter phase is where you set the ceiling for a calf’s performance later. This is when you’re trying to establish consistent intake, support rumen development, and avoid the common setbacks that stall calves early.
Quality Plus Feeds lists this product as a texturized starter feed for young calves and specifies it contains Deccox for prevention of coccidiosis. The posted guaranteed analysis supports that purpose: 20% protein for growth, 5% fat for energy density, and a controlled 8% max fiber to keep the ration starter-appropriate while still supporting rumen function.
Because Deccox is a coccidiostat, the value is in consistent feeding through risk periods—the official labeling directs feeding to provide the approved daily dose for at least 28 days during exposure/risk windows.
