Mang ers should be cleaned daily of uneaten silage to prevent mold ing and drying out It should be the only forage fed and should be used along with regular milk or milk replacer and calf start er. Calves may not eat much sil age the first month to six weeks, but consumption will in crease considerably after that, reports the specialist. In one study, Holstein calves ate up to 35 pounds of corn sil age at four months The calves weie weaned at 35 days and limited to four pounds of start er a day per calf 35
