The process of calves from feeding to feeding is not something that can be completed all at once, and they need to slowly adapt and adjust to find out the most suitable feeding rules. Specifically, when it comes to daily management, farmers need to observe carefully from many aspects, so let's take a look at what aspects need to be paid attention to?
01
It depends on the food situation
The feed of the calves can be observed according to how much feed is left each time. If there is a lot of feed left, it means that there is too much feeding, if there is some residue left in the feed, it means that the amount of feed is moderate, if the feed is eaten cleanly, it means that the feed is not fed enough, and the quantity needs to be increased.
Look at bowel movements
02
The calves have more manure day by day, and the manure is thicker than when they are fed milk, indicating that the feed volume is normal. With the increase of feeding volume, the calf manure time forms a new regularity, and the manure will be discharged before and after feeding every morning and evening, and the manure is melted together in countless lumps, like adult cow manure, shiny and soft; If the calf's manure is shaped like porridge, it means that there is too much feeding; If the stool is as thin as swill and there is wet feces on the buttocks, it means that the amount of feed is too large or the water is too cold.
03
Look at the calves' willingness to eat
If the cow goes to the trough and waits at the point, it proves that the amount of feed is normal, and if the cow refuses to leave the trough after eating, it means that the feed is not enough. If the calf has a swollen belly and does not eat at feeding time, it means that it was overfed last time and stopped feeding once or twice.
