Setting your calves up for success starts with good quality colostrum within the first 24 hours of their life.
Calves rely on colostrum for immune protection, to give them the ability to fight viruses and bacteria but it is also a valuable source of energy, vitamins and minerals crucial for calves to achieve better weight gain and average daily gain.
Successful weaning relies on the development of the rumen so the calf can easily digest solid food such as pasture and calf meal.
Laura Pattie, PGG Wrightson’s Technical Expert for Animal Production, offers her top tips for calf weaning.
When raising calves, many factors need to be considered to achieve optimal health and growth.
Feeding studies involving calves often reach similar conclusions: a high-quality feed outperforms a standard feed in any system.
