The serum containing these functional proteins is then spray dried for inclusion in LIFELINE nutritional supplements.

It is important to note that Intervene should be fed 3 – 4 hours after the milk feeding. Mix 7 tbsp of Intervene into 2 quarts of warm (105°F) water and stir until the powder dissolves completely. Pour Intervene into a calf bottle and nipple feed the entire mixture to the calf.
