For years, this “no hay” premise was in dispute, but today most nutritionists agree. However, many dairy operations still include hay in their feeding programs, even though tests show it is an unwise practice. Performance of Dairy Calves On Hay vs. Wo Hay Regimens Total Weight Gain (lb) Daily Intake Startena (lb) Daily Intake Alfalfa Hay (lb) Duration of trials: 4 days to 2 months of age An extra 11.3 pounds of gain, as averaged by calves that did not receive hay, is especially valuable in the' early weeks.
