Our Technology Story

Innovative Technologies for Dairy Health

Ralco’s technologies are built for one purpose, helping producers raise healthier calves and cows. Each innovation is backed by decades of research, tested in production environments and built around a deep understanding of how natural tools impact dairy health and performance.

A large field contains many rows of small, white, plastic calf hutches, each separated evenly. In the background are green trees bordering the field under a partly cloudy blue sky.

What Producers Are Saying

Healthier Calves, Fewer Scours

“We went from about 20 percent scours to 2 percent scours within a couple days of using Stand Strong for Dairy Calves. Now, when they see me, they come running, even in a robotic feeder setup.”

Josh L.
Dairy Producer

Kick Start for Weak Calves

“The calf wouldn’t take the bottle, so I tubed him and gave Start Strong for Calves. By morning, he was up and drinking 3 pints like he was starving. I truly think your product was the kick start he needed!”

Robert S.
Dairy Producer

Healthier Herd. No Second Guessing

“It’s a product that just adds a level of comfort for me. Our reproduction, herd health and milk quality are the best they’ve ever been and Stand Strong for Dairy Cows is a product I’ll continue using.”

Eric C.
Dairy Producer | Vermont

Fewer Hoof Issues

“Our hoof trimmer couldn’t find feet to wrap. He asked, ‘What in the world are you feeding these cows?’ The summer before we had 5 or 6 club feet. Since using Stand Strong, we’ve had none.”

Roger T.
Dairy Producer

Fewer Vet Visits

“It wasn’t rare to see the vet 2 or 3 times a week. Now, we just see him for herd check every two weeks. If you like seeing your veterinarian that often, you shouldn’t use Stand Strong for Dairy Cows!”

Dairy Producer
