TESTIMONIALS

Our satisfied customers are so excited about VBS products they want to tell you about it! Below are testimonials from calf or veal producers around the country.

Calf/Veal
	"We have been very pleased with the benefits of Pro Pak in our veal production. The first thing we noticed was that the calves were very aggressive to come up and eat. Cindy Baker, who has fed for us for 6 years, said she never saw appetites like this. Since we started using Pro Pak we are having less over-all treatments and have lowered our medication costs. Our feed conversions were running 1.86 to 1.82. Pro Pak has dropped our feed conversion to a 1.71. This is worth at least $10.00 per calf. Another product from Van Beek Scientific that we like is Royal Pect Plus. It works very well on individual scour treatment for us."

"We run a beef cow/calf operation in north central Iowa. We buy veal calves and background them. Some of these veal calves we buy are trucked many miles and come to us under severe stress. We were having severe calf scour problems in some of these calves and were using many different calf scour products with little success. We heard about the Van Beek Scientific scour products from a Lextron Animal Health representative and started using Royal Pect Plus. We were very impressed with how soon the calves started responding, within hours the calves were much more active. A Van Beek Scientific representative then advised us to get ahead of our scour problems by feeding Pro Pak (a veal supplement providing probiotics, enzymes, yeast, and vitamins) and then use Vita Pect as a preventative and use the Royal Pect Plus on the more severe cases. This program has worked wonderful. Also since using the Pro Pak we feel we have reduced our overall herd health problems, lowered our treatment costs and mortality rates dramatically. We at Rahbusch Bros. highly recommend to all calf producers the Van Beek Scientific calf program."

"We were having a lot of scours in our calves with a high death loss. The lab confirmed salmonella and crypto. Everything else we had tried was not working. We heard about Royal Pect Plus from Van Beek Scientific and decided to give it a try. The first thing we noticed was that even the sick calves were not going down near as far. Some of the other improvements we noticed in a short time period were better hydrated calves, their eyes were not sinking in, and the manure was thicker. Royal Pect Plus has significantly dropped our death loss. I use 1/2 scoop of Royal Pect Plus as prevention to stay ahead of the scours. Royal Pect Plus also mixes well in milk and seems to slow digestion down allowing the calf to absorb more nutrients."

	"I had 3 calves scouring that nothing would touch. One was down and dehydrated. I started on Calf Gel 95 (2 scoops per calf) 2 times a day. I have been very pleased with the results. Five days later all 3 calves were back running around. I would recommend Calf Gel 95 for any calf scour problems you run into."

	"We have been using Calf Gel 95 for over 8 months now and are very pleased with the results. Calf Gel 95 has virtually taken care of our tubing calves. The calvesdo not go down as far and stay rehydrated. Most calves even get up to eat when they are sick. The electrolytes keep calves hydrated even in central Flordia and the dextrose gives the energy boost they need. Calf Gel 95 has been very helpful in getting our calves through Crypto. The gelling agent slows scours down. Calf Gel 95 also mixes very well in liquids which allows us to keep the calves on milk."

	"We run large cow and calf operation in South Central Iowa; and in the spring of 1999 we were experiencing an outbreak in calf scours throughout our herd. We had tried many scour products with very little success. When we were informed of the Van Beek Scientific line of calf scour products. We used Powr Lytes (electrolytes), Power Pak Plus capsules, Royal Dyna Bac capsules and Royal Pect Plus in our different treating programs. If I hadn't seen some of the responses myself, I would not have believed it. We brought some calves around that I had given up for dead, and had great responses on many others within hours of treating them. The calves are so much livelier! We have never used products in our calving operation that have worked as quickly, and successfully as the Van Beek line of products. I highly recommend to all producers - to seriously take a look at this line of products for your operation. The most costly medication in treating calves is the ones that don't work. I can honestly say that the Van Beek line of animal health products has saved and made us money by getting the calves responding faster with less morbidity and mortality."

	"We run a large dairy in north central Iowa and have been using the Van Beek Scientific products since the fall of 1999. We are very impressed on how quickly the VBS products work, and the great response we get from the animals we treat with them. A couple of the products we feel stand way out in front of the other great products they make are the Power Pak Plus Capsules, (a bolus containing yeast, chelated trace minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and probiotics as their key nutrients). This product works extremely quick and we see very fast responses with it. By using this product in our hospital we have lowered our overall animal health cost. Another really great product of Van Beek Scientific is Royal Pect Plus, which we feel is the cadillac in calf scour treatment. The calves respond much quicker than any other products we have tried, and the calves are much more livelier. A few other products of Van Beek Scientific we have used and really like are Pect-A-Guard Plus Capsules, Vita Pect and Royal Dyna-Bac Capsules. These are all high quality products and work very effectively in our treatment programs. We would highly recommend using these products in your animal health treatment program."

	"It was the middle of summer, when a VBS representative stopped in and asked how our calves were doing. It just so happened that we had two particular calves we had as much as given up on. They were totally dehydrated and pretty much down for the count. Gerrit suggested the Royal Calf Program followed by some Powr Lytes. I was amazed that after 2-4 days of treatment both calves were back on their feet. We've pretty much switched over to the full calf-feeding program recommended by VBS, and to this point we are very happy and satisfied."
