Calf starter feed is a high-protein, high-energy feed that is designed to help calves transition from their mother’s milk to solid food. Calf starter feed is typically fed to calves from 3 to 8 weeks of age.

Benefits of calf starter feed:

  • Promotes rumen development: Calf starter feed is high in fiber, which helps to promote rumen development. The rumen is a specialized organ in the cow’s digestive system that allows them to break down plant material.
  • Supports growth: Calf starter feed is high in protein and energy, which helps to support growth. Calves fed calf starter feed typically gain weight faster than calves fed other types of feed.
  • Reduces the risk of scours: Calf starter feed is highly digestible and contains essential vitamins and minerals, which help to reduce the risk of scours. Scours is a serious diarrheal disease that can be fatal to calves.

Storage

Calf starter feed should be stored in a cool, dry place in a well-ventilated area. It should be protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

Overall, calf starter feed is an essential part of a calf’s diet and can help them to grow and thrive.

Here are some additional tips for feeding calf starter feed:

  • Start calves on calf starter feed as early as possible. The sooner calves start eating calf starter feed, the better their transition from milk to solid food will be.
  • Feed calves small amounts of calf starter feed at first and gradually increase the amount as they grow. Overfeeding can cause digestive problems.
  • Make sure that calves have access to clean water at all times. Water is essential for digestion and overall health.
  • Monitor calves closely for signs of health problems. If a calf is not gaining weight, has diarrhea, or is showing other signs of illness, consult with a veterinarian.
