Bonanza Transformula Transition Milk Replacer is a specialist milk-based feed developed for young calves during the period immediately following colostrum feeding. Designed to replace or extend the use of a cow's own transition milk, Transformula provides a practical alternative where fresh transition milk is unavailable, insufficient or unsuitable for feeding.

Available in 600kg and 1.2 tonne bulk quantities, Bonanza Transformula is supplied in individual 20kg bags and delivered directly from the supplier.

• Two bulk-buy options: 600kg and 1.2 tonne.

• 600kg quantity: 30 × 20kg bags.

• 1.2 tonne full pallet: 60 × 20kg bags.

• Specialist transition milk replacer designed for feeding after colostrum.

• Contains low-heat milk proteins, including skim milk, buttermilk and whey-derived ingredients.

• Includes selected plant extracts, yeast-derived ingredients and other nutritional components as part of its formulation.

• Suitable for different calf feeding methods, with direct-from-supplier delivery for both bulk quantities.

Designed for the Transition Milk Feeding Period

Transition milk is produced by cows after colostrum and before their milk reaches its normal composition. It contains nutrients and naturally occurring components that differ from those found in mature milk.

Bonanza developed Transformula to provide an alternative when a farm cannot consistently feed the cow's own transition milk.

This may be relevant where there are insufficient volumes available, where collecting and storing transition milk is impractical, or where farmers are managing concerns about disease transmission through milk from infected cows.

Transformula is intended to be used after adequate colostrum feeding, not as a replacement for colostrum immediately after birth.

Milk-Based Formulation for Young Calves

Transformula contains milk-derived ingredients, including low-heat skim milk, buttermilk and concentrated whey proteins.

Bonanza also identifies a combination of other formulation components, including plant extracts, yeast-derived ingredients and selected milk bioactive components.

The manufacturer developed this ingredient combination with the nutritional requirements of young calves in mind, particularly during the early period of digestive development.

An Alternative to Feeding Fresh Transition Milk

Feeding a cow's own transition milk can present practical challenges on commercial farms.

Volumes may be limited when only a small number of cows have calved. Collecting milk at milking time can also increase labour requirements, while storing milk introduces additional handling and hygiene considerations.

Transformula offers a prepared milk replacer option for farms looking to replace or extend their transition milk feeding programme.

As with any calf milk replacer, correct preparation, feeding management and hygiene remain essential.

Research and Early Calf Nutrition

Bonanza has published research and farm reports examining the use of Transformula during the early calf-rearing period.

A manufacturer-reported Harper Adams University study compared calves fed Transformula during their first ten days with calves fed a conventional skim-based milk replacer. The manufacturer reported differences in subsequent first-lactation milk production between the groups.

These findings describe the results of a particular study and should not be interpreted as guaranteed performance for every calf or herd.

Transformula is a nutritional product and should not be regarded as a treatment or preventative measure for calf scour, pneumonia or other infectious diseases.

Bulk Quantities for Commercial Calf Rearing

This listing offers two bulk-buy quantities, both supplied in individual 20kg bags.

600kg – 30 × 20kg Bags

Contains 30 individual 20kg bags of Bonanza Transformula Transition Milk Replacer, providing a total of 600kg.

1.2 Tonne Full Pallet – 60 × 20kg Bags

Contains 60 individual 20kg bags, providing a total of 1,200kg of Transformula.

Both variants contain the same transition milk replacer, allowing farms to choose the quantity that suits their calf-rearing requirements.

Direct-from-Supplier Delivery

Both bulk-buy options are delivered directly from the supplier, rather than dispatched from branch stock.

This listing is exclusively for 600kg and 1.2 tonne quantities. Individual 20kg bags are not available to purchase through this listing.

Feeding and Preparation

Transformula is designed for feeding after colostrum, during the early transition milk period.

The 2024 Scotmin product guide publishes a mixing rate of 140g of powder made up to one litre with water. Always follow the current product packaging for the correct preparation instructions and feeding programme.

Ensure newborn calves receive adequate, timely, high-quality colostrum before introducing Transformula.

Provide fresh drinking water, suitable calf starter feed and appropriate forage as part of the calf-rearing programme. Maintain good hygiene when preparing milk replacer and cleaning feeding equipment.

Bonanza Transformula Transition Milk Replacer is available in 600kg (30 × 20kg bags) and 1.2 tonne (60 × 20kg bags, full pallet) bulk quantities. Specifically developed for the period after colostrum feeding, Transformula is designed to replace or extend a cow's own transition milk. Its formulation includes low-heat skim milk, buttermilk, whey-derived proteins and selected nutritional ingredients for young calves. Both bulk-buy options are delivered directly from the supplier.
