These are the instructions for feeding calves from the local dairy farmer that makes milk replacer. Days--------------Solution(litres) 1-4---------------1.5 5-10--------------2.0 11-15-------------2.5 16-38-------------3.0 39 until----------3.0 eating 1 kg of solid feed a day.Then wean off milk. We mix at a 1:5 ratio. 1 part replacer to 5 parts milk i.e.-1 gallon of replacer for a 5 gallon pail of water
We used to feed 2 litres from start to finish but have since started using the method above and it will get the calves out of the hutches up to 2 weeks earlier. If your not trying to get them in and out then 2 litres will work quite fine.Like Allan said you can make them to drink out of the pail from day 1. The first morning is a bugger but they get the hang of it pretty quickly.
