NOURISH YOUR CALVES IMMUNTY FOR A STRONG FUTURE
NOURISH is a colostrum replacer, formulated to be fed when maternal colostrum is unavailable or inadequate. Each feeding delivers 100 g of globulin protein along with balanced fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—giving calves the complete nutrition they need in their first hours of life. Because every calf deserves a strong start, NOURISH provides the essential immune support and energy to build resilience and promote healthy growth from day one.
THE ADVANTAGE OF SERUM BASED FORMULAS
At LIFELINE®, we build our formulas on a powerful serum-based foundation because calves only get one chance at a strong start. Serum-based formulas are naturally rich in functional globulin proteins and growth factors—essential components that help newborns thrive during their most vulnerable stage.
These functional proteins work where it matters most:
Strengthening immunity to better fight early-life challenges
Promoting gut health and nutrient absorption for optimal growth
Delivering energy calves can use right away
With over 600 peer-reviewed studies confirming their effectiveness, serum- and plasma-based globulin proteins are a proven way to improve calf health, growth, and survival. That’s why we choose this superior foundation for every LIFELINE product—so you can be confident your calves have the best start possible.

FAQ
-
Nourish is a colostrum replacer produced from high-quality, nutrient-rich plasma. Nourish is the only colostrum replacer formulated with 25% added fat plus carbohydrates for extra energy. Nourish provides 100 grams of globulin protein in a single feeding and is nutritionally equivalent to feeding maternal colostrum to a newborn.
-
A colostrum replacer is a powdered product that completely replaces maternal colostrum in a single feeding and offers a complete nutritional profile including a minimum of 100 grams of globulin protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. A colostrum replacer is mixed with water and fed to a calf in place of maternal colostrum in the first hours of life.
-
Most colostrum replacers are made from dried bovine colostrum powder. Nourish is made from nutrient-rich plasma, the most highly researched source of globulin protein in a colostrum replacer. A single, 2-quart feeding of Nourish provides 100 grams of globulin protein, plus nutrients and energy calves need at birth.
-
In addition to globulin protein, Nourish contains additional functional proteins from plasma, plus a researched blend of carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals that help meet the nutritional needs of newborn calves.
-
Nourish is the first feeding and has its greatest impact when fed within 4 hours of birth. Occasionally a second feeding of Nourish is needed, and can be given 8 to 12 hours after the first feeding. Ideally, all feedings of Nourish should be completed within 24 hours of birth.
-
There is no harm in feeding Nourish after 24 hours of age, but the greatest benefits of Nourish are seen when it is fed in the first few hours following birth.
-
Nourish is designed to replace maternal colostrum. LIFELINE Protect is a colostrum supplement that can be fed in addition to maternal colostrum.
-
A colostrum replacer gives calves the complete nutrition they need when high-quality maternal colostrum is not available. A colostrum replacer delivers a higher concentration of globulin protein than a colostrum supplement, as well as fat, vitamins and minerals that meet the nutrient requirements of newborn calves. A colostrum replacer is a clean, consistent and reliable product to use in place of maternal colostrum.
-
Nourish should be mixed into warm water only and fed to the calf as its very first meal.
-
Nourish mixes extremely well with water in under a minute. It should be added to warm (105°F) water with continuous agitation by wire whisk or mechanical mixer. Feed Nourish to calves once it has reached a smooth consistency and all lumps are gone. Do not mix Nourish in water hotter than 140°F, as high temperatures may damage the functional proteins.
-
Nourish has a 36-month shelf life when stored unopened in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 50°–86°F. Once the powder is exposed to air, it has a very short shelf life and should be used within a few days. Once Nourish is mixed with water, it should be immediately used and never stored.
-
Nourish is the only colostrum replacer on the market formulated to provide the specific nutrition calves need when maternal colostrum is unavailable. Plus, APC calf nutrition products have been thoroughly researched and proven effective. Our colostrum replacers and colostrum supplements have been extensively tested in research trials at independent universities and large calf raising operations across the country. Discriminating calf raisers tell us they use our products over and over because they quickly see lively, vibrant calves.
