Di-Vetelact Original is manufactured in a food grade SQF certified facility under quality management systems. We use only premium quality Australian and New Zealand dairy ingredients. So you can be assured it is safe and high quality.

Our formulation was developed by Mike Sharpe, a world leader in advanced medical nutrition.

He applied the same superior standards to development and implementation of Di-Vetelact that we continue today.

Di-Vetelact Original is our flagship product and has been sold consistently in Australia for over 45 years. We have added the name Original as we may expand our product range and this way, our customers will always know the original.

We have developed Di-Vetelact Original as a functional product. It's formulated to match mammal milk composition that would be produced in a tran-seasonal climate, during a luscious growth season and in a forage rich environment.

Di-Vetelact Original has the correct ratios and varieties of fatty acids, amino acids, sugars, vitamins and minerals in a masterful formulation.

Di-Vetelact Original sits within a range of crude ratios so that it can be used successfully for all mammals and marsupials through all growth stages while being cared for in a controlled feeding environment.

We make our product with human grade ingredients and manufacture in a SQF certified facility under quality management systems.

Di-Vetelact Original is a single formula to be used across all growth stages. This is beneficial to the carer and the animals as there is no required transition period associated with changing formulas, and greatly reduces the risk of nutritional and physiological stress on the animal in care.

Di-Vetelact Original is still made by the Sharpe Family as it always has been. It was developed over 45 years ago by Mike Sharpe, then of Sharpe Laboratories Pty Ltd, and then Nutritional Laboratories Pty Ltd. In December 2019 the business trading name was changed to Lillelund Pty Ltd as this is a family name that reflects the Danish ancestry of the Sharpe matriarch. The business is now managed by family members Sally Irvin and Fleur Sharpe all with a shared goal to ensure Di-Vetelact remains on the market as your favourite low lactose milk supplement for animals at every life stage.
