Dairyman Ray Marley from Iowa State College urges feeding colostrum in the first week after birth to calves for digestion disease resistance and Vitamin A. If excess, feed to older calves diluted with water. Provide well cured mixed legume hay and fresh hay. calves begin hay at about two weeks.
For calves aged 4 months avoid exceeding 2 pounds of silage daily and increase gradually with age. By 6 months, limit to 8 pounds per day to prevent bulk and digestive issues.
Dairymen should favor proven rations over thyroprotein stimulants to boost production. Iowa State findings show thyroprotein often reduces body weight, raises feed cost, and yields limited gains. Nutrient-rich home grown grains with high quality roughage provide safer, more economical results and avoid test record issues.
