Feeding milk replacer and maintaining hygiene
Throughout the discussion, Rebecca O’Sullivan will speak about the ingredients that farmers need to be keeping an eye out for in their milk replacers this spring – while also giving some guidance on the values of milk replacer products.
Irvine Allen gives a detailed run through feeding milk replacer to calves on his farm along with some of the practices he follows when it comes to the upkeeping of hygiene on his farm.
James Fitzgerald provides us with his experience of advising farmers to maintain good hygiene and health standards during calf rearing on Teagasc Green Acres farms.
