Colostrum
-
At birth, the calf must receive colostrum (first mother’s milk)
in the first 24 hours following birth.
-
This will provide
protection against future infections, particularly if the colostrum is fed before 12 hours.
-
If the mother’s colostrum is
not available, use cow colostrum.
-
If also not available, use a
commercial colostrum replacer product.
Provide injectable Vitamin E to the calf according to veterinary
prescription.
General recommendations
-
Start feeding milk replacer once newborn has received
colostrum.
-
Quantities offered should be adjusted to weight, increasing
gradually from birth to weaning.
-
Frequent feeding of small amounts will decrease chances of
digestive upsets.
-
Observe stool consistency to monitor concentration of milk
being fed.
-
Any change in the feeding schedule should be done with judgement, according to growth, size and stool consistency.
-
Weigh calves regularly to ensure that milk intake is adequate
-
If calves are not gaining enough weight consult your
veterinarian.
-
Reconstituted Elephant-Gro may be refrigerated up to 24 hours.
Discard any unused portion after 24 hours.
-
The quantity of milk replacer fed to the calf will vary
depending on health, size and availability of mother's milk.
-
Clean ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding:
rinse in lukewarm water, wash with a detergent in hot (80°C)
water, rinse with clean water (ideally a weak bleach solution)
and dry thoroughly with a ‘clean’ towel.
-
Consult your veterinarian for any signs of disease, fever,
parasites, …
-
Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
