results

ProbShield will help reduce livestock losses which for newborn calves can reach up to 30% annually.

ProbShield will help reduce livestock losses which for newborn calves can reach up to 30% annually.

Reducing losses both in livestock and in produced products (milk, meat) will significantly help the economic viability of farms.
