Calves

Concentrate feeding to the calf, even from a young age, is of major importance. Concentrates, rather than hay/straw, are what gets the rumen development to occur within the calf’s stomach; due to it’s starch element. With this in mind, calves should be offered concentrates as early as 3 – 4 days.

  • Feed little and often, i.e. 100 – 200 grams per calf in the first week or two
  • Ensure palatable ingredients – molasses, maize, barley.
  • Ensure a high protein of 18% to encourage frame development
  • Ensure free access to water
