Calf Feeding Guidelines For Healthy Growth
The guide says two week old calves thrive on whole milk with low butterfat fed at body temperature for two weeks then gradually switch to skim milk. Limit skim milk to 16 pounds daily and feed skim later to other stock. After four months, prioritize skim milk for hogs or poultry and offer alfalfa and fresh vegetables daily. A grain mix high in protein, including corn meal, oats, bran, linseed meal, and optional barley, supports growth. Provide ample clean water, dry bedding, and clean quarters to prevent pneumonia.
