Best practise is to provide fresh clean water from birth 💦🐄 - Can increase growth rates by 38% and starter intake by 31% - Calves drink 1 litre/day during the first week of life increasing to nearly 3 litres/day by 3-4 weeks of age

A recent study by MSD animal health indicated that 90% of dairy farms had experienced scour in calves in the previous 12 months and that over 65% had experienced mortality due to scour. bit.ly/3eCzWLX #CalfScour #CalfHealth #TeamCalf #CalfRearing #Farming

Weaning Calves 🐮🍼 Wean Calves based on starter intake rather than weight or age as this is a good indicator of rumen development. Calves should be consuming 1.5-2.0kg of concentrates for 3 consecutive days at the point of weaning.

What do we consider to be a high-fat milk replacer? Current milk powders in the market range from 17 – 27% oil, anything above 20% can be considered an elevated level. Discover the benefits of feeding a high-fat milk replacer: bit.ly/3UkZcVx

The ability for a calf to absorb antibodies decreases by 50% after 6 hours of life and is gone by 24 hours. Calves should receive a minimum 3L high quality colostrum within 6 hours of birth and a second feed should occur between 8 and 12 hours after birth🍼🐄

How much milk/milk replacer do you offer per feed? Ellingsen et al.(2016) shows that 3wk old calves will voluntarily consume up to 6.8L of milk in one meal without milk entering the rumen or any indications of discomfort Read more bit.ly/3L9cWQP #FeedMoreMilk
