Happy Calves Drinking
Calves fed frequently (every 4 hours), with milk intakes of at least 8 litres/day are quieter.Alongside the advantage of better average daily gains (ADG), calf vocalization is significantly diminished when calves are fed at several intervals throughout the day. Better ADG is achieved by total dry matter intakes greater than conventional methods (averaging 10% of body weight per day).
The 2001 study done by Thomas et. al. (App. Anim. Sci., 74: 165-173) concluded that significant vocalization differences existed between groups… Continue reading

Intensive feeding programs have been a major topic for discussion and presentation over the last year. Their aim has been to maximize genetic growth potential, get heifers to breeding weight sooner and also maximize lean tissue growth (height and weight).
A young animal can not be limit fed protein and energy and be successful or efficient in depositing protein as lean tissue growth.… Continue reading
