Effective calf care during their first six months Creating the right conditions for a successful birth Preparation is everything when it comes to calving. A simple set of guidelines is the ideal way to make sure your farm employees are aware of the best ways to manage cow movement, ensure good hygiene, and supervise calving. Stimulating growth of the calf The first month of a calf’s life sees the development of the rumen and preparation for weaning. The calf will still be dependent on whole milk or milk replacer so milk feeding levels and programs should be adjusted to the calf’s weight, health and climatic conditions. Feeding to maintain good growth During the third to six month of a calf's life, easy access to good quality feed goes hand-in-hand with high growth rates. Always remember that lost growth in this period can result in later calving and lower milk yields in the future. DeLaval Optimat™ An automated feeding solution Take the next step in farm automation with feeding awareness Managing feeding cost is significant for farm profitability as feeding costs represent up to 50% of the total cost of milk production. Automated feeding enables more frequent feeding and will have a positive impact on animals, milk yield and the bottom line. Frequent and precise feeding for high-yielding cows Regular and frequent delivery of specific feed rations is essential for dairy farming success. In order to achieve the highest level of productivity from cows, consistent, daily feeding rations are essential. With an attractive feeding table, cows feed more regularly and do not sort the mix. This has a direct impact on overall health and feeding efficiency since leftovers are decreased significantly. Highlights Jobs at DeLaval?
