Sound Familiar?
Cryptosporidium, Rotavirus, E. coli — neonatal scours kills more calves than any other disease. Chemical disinfectants can’t touch Crypto. UV-C can. In under 3 minutes per hutch.
Feeding raw waste milk means feeding Mycoplasma bovis, Salmonella, and Johne’s to every calf on the farm. Pasteurization at 145°F for 30 minutes kills them all — consistently, every batch.
Calves on raw waste milk gain 0.2 lb/day less than calves on pasteurized milk. Over a 60-day pre-weaning period, that gap is 12 lbs per calf — and it never fully catches up.
Treatment costs for raw milk-fed calves run 60% higher than pasteurized milk-fed calves (Cornell University). Antibiotic usage is also significantly higher — a cost and a liability.
Calves thrive on routine. Variable feeding times, volumes, and temperatures stress the rumen and increase disease susceptibility. Automation and programmable schedules solve this entirely.
Hand-mixing, manual feeding, and scrubbing equipment by hand takes hours every day. Urban’s automated feeders and semi-automatic cleaning routines give that time back to your operation.

A 50-calf operation typically saves $3,000–$6,000 per year switching from milk replacer to pasteurized waste milk. Lower vet costs amplify that further.
“Pasteurized milk-fed calves have 50% fewer scour days than calves on raw waste milk — and gain significantly more weight during the pre-weaning period. The economics are clear.”
