Program for feeding calves from 0 to 6 months old

      The process of growing calves for the first 6 months of life is characterized by a constant change in the nature of their diet. As the calf is born capable of digesting and absorbing exclusively nutrients of milk - milk protein, fat and sugar. However, to feed him in the first six months of life is necessary so that as soon as possible and painlessly the animal passed from dairy to vegetable nutrition. This will help significantly save on the consumption of milk, quickly develop the digestive organs of the animal and reduce the use of expensive feed.

      We have proposed a calves feeding scheme for 0-6 months. age. It is distinguished by its simplicity, versatility and high efficiency in use when feeding calves. It takes into account the physiological capabilities of the calves' digestive system and the intensification of their growth at an early age.

      The process of feeding optimization according to the scheme in the first 7 weeks provides an average daily gain of 500-800 g of live weight.

       This allows:

• reduce the level of milk supply (115 kg of milk per head);
• successfully switch to consumption of the whole milk substitute (MZM) of the appropriate composition;
• transfer the calves to the maximum consumption of starter mixed fodder.

       With this increase in calves in the first 2 months of life, internal organs grow well and develop internal organs, eliminating intoxication and overfilling by metabolic products. Thanks to balanced feeding, a strong backbone and powerful immune defense are formed. As a result, calves become ready for the maximum intensive growth.

      The scheme of feeding for 2-4 months. life allows the calves to maximize the benefits of a well-developed abomasum over the developing system of cicatricial digestion. As a result of the special quality of the prelaunch feed, which is maximally digested in the body and provides an average daily growth of young animals to 1000 g per day.

     For 5-6 months. formation of cicatricial processes is completed, maximum saturation with coarse and juicy feeds of the ration is carried out with the composition of the mixed feed unchanged. As a result, the average daily gain stabilizes at 800-900 g, and the cost of feeding per 1 kg of growth is reduced to a minimum.

       Thus, for 6 months. growing calves according to the proposed scheme is achieved:

• minimum consumption of milk fodder (115 kg of milk and 230 kg of MZM), which provides maximum growth;
• the optimal transition from dairy to plant food;
• the average daily growth for the period is set at 850 g;
• total increase of 155 kg per head and achievement of live weight of one head up to 185 kg by the end of this period;
• complete elimination of mass disorders of the digestive and immune systems;
• minimum waste;
• obtaining large groups with an ideal exterior and readiness for the next stage of intensive cultivation.
• minimum expenditure on effective feeding.

      When the dose of calf consumption of 1.2-1.5 kg of starting feed is achieved, it is possible to abandon the use of the CMP.

      When receiving calves in 6 months. with a live weight of more than 200 kg and a good fodder base, it is possible to grow a repair population exclusively on coarse and succulent fodders using premixes without concentrates, which will allow gaining a live weight of about 750 grams per day. This will help reduce the cost of growing maintenance young animals in the period from 6 months to 16 months. at least 20-25%.

      Our products enable:

• receive calves up to 6 months of age with an average daily gain of 800-900 grams;
• to obtain young animals with a live weight at the end of the period of more than 180 kg (weight at birth of 30 kg + mass at the end of the period);
• Reduce the cost of growing young animals, thereby increasing the profitability of production.
  

IMPORTANT! If you want to have a highly productive cow, the calf's live weight should be at least 180 kg in 6 months.
