In June of 2013 we received a flier in the mail about RECAL PLUS. Just like all of those other products on the market they all sound great. But we were really interested in this one. So I called Jamie Troxel of RECAL Microbials and talked to him about the RECAL PLUS. He never tried to sell it to me, he simply told me about the RECAL PLUS and what they were seeing in research.
Then he told me what he would do to prove the product to me. All we had to do is monitor our DMI, and cow numbers. Then we would take a look at milk weights from the milk hauler and our SCC, MUN, % BF & % Pro from the milk company. Jamie said he would be at our farm several times to perform manure screenings before we started the RECAL and about 7-10 days after we started and then again after that to monitor the information that the cows were telling us. He also said that if we saw no results in 30 days we paid nothing, if we did see results we paid for the product and kept doing business together. I had never had an offer like that before. So I told Jamie that if he was willing to do all of that, he must really have something.
After two weeks of being on the RECAL PLUS we saw 3# drop in DMI, a 1# increase in milk production, a $0.59 /cow/day improvement on income over feed cost and we were seeing much better heats and the manure was much more consistent. We were very happy with what we were seeing. So we decided to keep feeding the RECAL PLUS. After a few months of being on the product we started seeing our reproduction improve and SCC decrease which made us even happier.
In January of 2014 Jamie told us about the new RECAL PLUS SS that he and Doc Snider had been researching. He told me what they had been seeing in the cows. So I started using the RECAL PLUS SS. We saw everything Jamie told us to watch for. Milk production went up about 2# in the first week, much stronger heats, less fresh cow issues, less udder edema and more cows showing heats at 30-40 DIM.
After being on the RECAL PLUS for over a year now and going back and looking at DHI papers we are extremely happy with the results RECAL PLUS has helped us achieve. We milk about 150 cows near Perryville, MO and we highly recommend the RECAL PLUS SS and RECAL PLUS boluses.
