Increase newborn immunity
Replenish electrolytes
Prevent and treat scours
Contains natural probiotics, prebiotics, and Redmond Conditioner
RESTORES NORMAL GUT FUNCTION
Redmond First Month helps calves continue to grow and achieve weights by restoring healthy gut function:
- Protects gut lining
- Slows digestive passage rate so fluids and nutrients absorb more readily
- Binds to harmful toxins so they can be excreted instead of absorbed
- Replaces and feeds beneficial digestive microbe colonies
NATURALLY TREATS SCOURS
As a calf scours treatment, First Month naturally corrects the acidosis, dehydration, and loss of energy and nutrients caused by scours:
- Alkaline content to buffer acidosis and balance pH levels
- Replenishes lost electrolytes/salts;
- Smectite clays slow the digestive passage rate to allow for better nutrient and fluid absorption into the blood
- Replaces microbe strains that are stripped and killed off by scours
REDUCES CALF MORTALITY RATES
A study conducted by UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine found that Redmond's smectite clay (used in First Month) reduced calf mortality rates by 63%.
BOOSTS IMMUNE HEALTH
First Month helps protect calves when their immune system is at its most vulnerable. Our ingredients guard immune health in multiple ways:
- Redmond's clay conditioner has natural anti-microbial properties and inhibits pathogen growth without damaging beneficial bacteria;
- Mannan-Oligosaccharides (MOS) prevent harmful pathogens from attaching and colonizing in the intestines;
- A study by UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine found that Redmond's smectite clay (used in First Month) increases immunoglobulin and mineral levels in the blood

Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS): binds to pathogens and prevents them from colonizing in the gut lining, feeds beneficial bacteria colonies needed for digestion.
Probiotics: restores the digestive bacteria needed for healthy gut efficiency, restricts growth of pathogenic bacteria like salmonella, E-coli, and Clostridia.
