Dairy Calves and Cows
Newborn Calf Requirements
During the first three to four weeks of life, a baby calf only
has its true stomach (abomasum) functioning. Its
digestion depends upon the enzymes in the abomasum, not
microorganisms of the rumen.
Obviously, the optimal diet for the
young calf is that provided by nature - cow's milk.
Unique to milk are special proteins such as casein and
lactalbumin along with the carbohydrate lactose. Typical dried
cow's milk is approximately 27% proteins and 27% fat, with the remainder
lactose and minerals. To evaluate the cost of a calf milk replacer versus
the value of salable whole milk it replaces, compare the cost of a
50 pound bag of milk replacer with 450# (4.5 cwt) of
milk.

Royal Milk Replacer Pellets
Use of this mini-pelleted prestarter can early-wean calves
and other baby animals without weaning set-back. Early weaning
is key to reducing health problems present during milk feeding
and lowering milk replacer cost. The goal is to wean at about 28
days of age. Feed this product along with normal feedings of
milk or milk replacer as the first dry feed. Offer it with the
first milk replacer feeding after
the calf has been fed colostrum (ideally, up to three days). If
bucket feeding, initially, place a few pellets in the liquid
milk replacer or make it available instead of calf starter. When
the calf consumes eight ounces of pellets per day, mix an equal amount of calf
starter. When one to two pounds of this mixture is consumed for
2 to 3 days, wean the calf from milk, adding more starter to
the ration, gradually deleting the milk replacer pellets.
