Even today, calves are housed in single cubicles or in small
groups after birth. Each day they are fed with a bucket or suck
ling bucket. This method of rearing has been adopted because
of the excellent possibilities for supervision it offers, although it
does not optimally meet the biological feeding requirements of
the calves.
The Westfalia Separator feeding system now also brings the
advantage of biologically correct feeding to the calf shed.
• Portions are always freshly stirred at
a constant temperature; particularly
important during the first weeks of
life.
• Constant 38 to 40° C feed tempera
ture intensifies the oesophageal
groove reflex.
• Physiologically correct feeding in
500 ml portions corresponds to the
mother’s feeding
• Feed amounts to suit the capacity of
the rennet stomach; fewer intestinal
disorders.
• Cost-effective cubicle housing tai
lored to the animals’ needs.

destruction caused by the deer?
The deer population in areas of
Chester County and southern
Berks County is immense. Park
lands have a very large number of
deer. Little is being done to con
trol it. These deer are well fed and
healthy from feeding on farmers
crops and have two and some
times three off spring a year. They
are also smart and catch on to hun

In this system calves do not suck on each other. The nipple
virtually eliminates the calves sucking on each other.
By grouping your calves in a healthy and co-habitational envi
ronment, standard calf hutches are replaced, eliminating the
controversy caused by animal rights advocates.

• Better utilization of feed with calves

The wishy-washy comments
from these deer worshippers are
futile. Having been in two colli
sions with deer on no fault of my
own with extensive damage done
to my car, and having seen the
destruction of crops, 1 cannot sym
pathize at all. Putting things in the
proper perspective, something
rational has to be done to control
the deer.
Prolonging the doe season and
making more doe licenses avail
able and more accessable to
purchase is extremely important.
Opening up park land for a few
days of controlled hunting is
necessary. Owners of large tracts

of land that is usually protected
should permit a few days of hunt
ing on their land. I have even
heard that animal lovers were buy
ing up the doe licenses to keer
them away from bonified hunter 1 .
The restrictions on private land
owners who attempt to control the
deer themselves are too austere
and impractical. A more common
sense approach is needed. Thq
Pennsylvania Game Commission
should cooperate more with resi
dents who have a deer problem to
devise a means to reduce their
deer nuisances rather than perpe
tuate them, which is the present
problem.
• Two designs:
- Fresh milk feeding only (also
beestings).
- Fresh milk feeding with milk pow
der additive.
(automatically switchable to water
and milk-powder feeding).
• Feeding of water and milk powder
(for beef production also).
• Limited amounts of milk replacer
lead to earlier basic feed and con
centrates intake; pre-stomach sys
tem develops more rapidly.
