The correct diet provides the normal growth of animals and good additional weights. For cultivation of a healthy calf the feeding period to it whole milk has to be not less than 1 month.
Main diet of monthly calfs
The calf intensively grows in early age, the additional weight has to make 500−700 g a day. In the first days to it vypaivat colostrum, then give to drink three times a day whole pair milk – 1.5 l at one time. If there is no that, then milk is warmed up to 37 wasps. The cold poyka leads to violation of normal processes of digestion. At the age of 15−20 days young growth give to drink twice a day, norm in day leave they are 5 liters, gradually replacing an integral product with skim milk or powdered milk. Two-month calfs are completely transferred to skim milk.
It is desirable once a day to add 50 g of cod-liver oil for prevention of rickets at young growth to milk. Two-week calfs are accustomed to a vegetable forage – hay has to be qualitative, without mold. In the summer the telyatok from 20-day age is released to be grazed on a green grass. Eating of a rough forage promotes good work of digestion.
About one month the young growth is given whole oats, begin to feed up 30-days calfs shredded to a zernosmesye which consists of wheat, barley, grits. The norm of fertilizing is 150−200 g a day on 1 head. They can feed the concentrated forage consisting of cake linen and sunflower, torments corn and oat, wheat bran, − all this undertakes in equal quantities. It is impossible to overfeed with a droblenka and concentrates, at calfs the hem is hammered that leads to an abdominal distension and even death of an animal.
Useful vitamins and fertilizing
Kids need grated carrots – vitamin A source. It is also desirable to give them special compound feeds starters which are produced the formula-feed industry. They meet needs of calfs for a lysine, a protein, amino acids. In a separate trough the kids always have to have a mineral fertilizing: chalk and salt, and in a drinking bowl – clear water. It is useful to feed the premixes containing micro and macrocells and also fodder antibiotics. The medicines "Batsitrin" and "Grizin" promote improvement of a metabolism owing to what calfs quickly grow. Special attention should be paid to presence at a diet of vitamins, at their shortcoming, especially during the winter period, it is necessary to add synthetic vitamin complexes to food. The young growth has unstable immunity, is subject to various infectious diseases therefore buckets and troughs from which поят−кормят, keep clean. At disorder of digestion the animal stops being given to drink milk, give black abruptly brewing tea, oak bark broth, crude eggs, antibiotics.
