Ensuring that calves have access to a high quality ration or concentrates is important during the early stages of life.
Calf ration plays a vital role in the development of a young calf, particularly for the development of their rumen.
The number of calf births took a big jump last week with 98,664 calves registered based on the latest figures from ICBF.
The importance of a high-quality calf ration should not be under estimated as part of any calf rearing enterprise on farms.
This year’s calves will be your future milk producers of your herd; so it is paramount that heifers get the best start in life.
Heifers will be the backbone of the herd in the future or while bull calves will go on into a beef system, the calf ration is essential.
