CALF
“The future of any milking herd
often depends on how calves are han-
dled,” says W. R. Arends, dairy au-
thority of (Me Purina Mills. “This
puts a definite responsibility on the
shoulders of the man who cares for
the calves from the time they are
dropped until they become part of the
milking herd. It is not only cheaper
to raise heifer calves than to buy cows.
but by raising one’s own heifers a herd
can be built just about the way a
dairyman wants it.
Feed Highly Important
“The importance of feed for the calf
cannot be over-emphasized,” Arend
says. “Feed must provide the things
from which bones, sinews, muscles.
and blood are made. A well developed
~ frame, and depth in the middle are
~ determined by what the calf gets to
eat. First food for the calf should be
the mother’s colostrum milk. This
milk is laxative and performs the job
of setting the digestive system in mo-
tion. If it is necessary to take the
calf from the cow. the calf may be fed
from a pail. But nature has taught
the calf to look up for its milk so it
- should be made to stretch its neck out
to drink from a pail. As in nursing,
the neck should be outstretched so
that the opening into the rumen or
first stomach is naturally closed. pre-
venting milk from entering. The first
stomach in a small calf is dormant.
Whenever milk enters, it lies there
and ferments. This causes SCREIS.
Need More Than Skim Milk
“Milk alone will not provide all the
things calves need for profitable
growth,” Arend points out. “Milk is
about 87 percent water, which means
~ that a gallon of milk is really about
~ seven pounds water and one pound
solids. As the calf grows and de-
velops its requirements for solid mat-
ter increase beyond what milk alone

a properly balanced dry feed calves
are supplied with the nutrients they
need.
“After years of research work the
Purina Research Staff has discovered
how to fill calf’s needs through a
complete feed known as calf startena.
By feeding a little milk at the start,
then feeding calf startena with nay
the calf gets exactly what it needs,
Begin Feeding Fourth Day
“The new calf feed is given baby
calves when four days old, It’s kept
before them at all times, but it is
never advisable to place in the troughs
more than a day’s. feed at a time,
subjecting it to possibilities of becom-
ing damp.
“The feeding schedule for calves
worked out by Purina scientists calls
for mother’s milk the first three days.
after which start with two quarts of
milk per day working up to four
quarts daily at beginning of second
week. At end of second week, the calf
should be getting five quarts daily,
which should be continued through the
third week. At beginning of fourth
week, cut milk back to three quarts a
day. at end of fourth week, cut out
milk entirely. Along with this limited
milk feeding program. keep calf start-
ena, hay, and water before the calf.
These directions are for Holstein and
Ayrshire calves. For Guernsey and
Jersey calves, the amount of milk is
slightly reduced.
“By the end of the fourth week, the
calf is used to dry feed so its weaned.
No more milk is needed because the
calf’s complete needs are taken care
of in calf startena, hay, and water.
With this kind of feeding it isn’t long
before the calf is well on its way to
becoming a profitable money-making
first-calf heifer.”
