Interesting article around considerations when feeding more milk from our R&D and some great collaborators #LifeStart #FeedMoreMilk Trouw Nutrition GB

"If you wean too early, it can take six weeks to get calves back to the same level of energy intake, so you’ll lose all the growth you gained from feeding higher levels of milk." Find more of Dr. Steele's thought-provoking interview here: bit.ly/CCCAug2023 #calftiptuesday
