Colostrum
-
The newborn calf should be fed maternal colostrum (first mothers milk) in
the first 24 hours.
-
This will help provide protection against future
infections, particularly if the colostrum is fed before 12 hours.
-
If the
mother's colostrum is not available, the second option is to use cow’s
colostrum.
-
If also not available, use a commercial colostrum replacer
product.
General recommendations
-
Start feeding milk replacer once newborn has received colostrum.
-
Quantities offered should be adjusted to weight, increasing gradually
from birth to weaning.
-
Any change in the feeding schedule should be done with judgement,
according to growth and size.
-
Weigh calves regularly to ensure that milk intake is adequate
-
 Reconstituted Yak-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.
-
The milk replacer solution can be served in a nipple bottle or in an
open bucket (older than 2 weeks).
-
Do not leave the milk in an open bucket for more than 2 hours.
-
Clean and rinse ALL feeding utensils in hot soapy water and rinse
thoroughly after each feeding.
-
Consult your veterinarian for any signs of disease, fever, parasites,
etc.
Starter ration, water,
forage and weaning
-
If a starter ration is available, offer small quantities daily.
-
Offer good quality roughage (leafy material) and/or pasture on a free
choice basis.
-
Fresh, clean water should be always be available, particularly when
consuming a significant amount of solids.
