Calf management and usage of calf milk powder:

1. Newly purchased bull calves feeding and care

1) Newborn calves, inspect their health status upon unloading——check for any inflammation of the umbilical cord, fecal contamination on the tail, and breathing rate.

Mental state; isolate infected calves promptly.

2) Calving pens and bedding: individual pens for calves, ensuring dry and clean conditions, thick bedding for lying, and good ventilation.

3) Two hours after unloading, provide a measured amount of water with electrolytes, Astragalus polysaccharide, Vitamin C, etc., or use a stress-reducing product, at 0.5-1 liter per calf. Normal calves should be watered again using the same method 4 hours after arrival. Wait another 2 hours and then feed 1-2 liters of formula milk; repeat feeding 1-2 liters of formula milk 8 hours later.

Day 2: Formula milk 2-3 liters per feeding, 2-3 times a day, followed by 1-2 liters of water after feeding.

5) Day 3: Free access to water, 2-3 liters of formula milk per feeding, twice a day. Start feeding starter feed according to the calf's size.

6) Day 4: Enter the normal feeding program

2. Optimal Baby Goat Milk Powder Mixing and Feeding Instructions

1) Recommend mixing the formula powder at a ratio of 1:6-7 (Formula Powder 1, Water 6-7, by weight) with warm water around 50-60°C.

Note: Boil the water and cool it to 50 degrees. Higher temperatures can cause fat and protein denaturation, making it difficult for the calf to digest and potentially leading to diarrhea and reduced growth and development.

2) When preparing, first pour warm water into the blending tank (large bucket), stir the hot water, then slowly pour the measured formula into the water, ensuring it is well mixed and dissolved.

3) Once the calf milk is at the appropriate temperature (38-40 degrees, accounting for heat loss during distribution and transportation), it can be transported from the preparation room to the feeding area. In winter, the feeding temperature should be higher, around 40 degrees C. In summer, the temperature can be slightly lower, around 37 degrees C.

C. To enhance cooling efficiency, use purified cool water to adjust the milk temperature.

4) Feeding can be distributed to calves using calibrated weighing equipment, or designated quantified feeding in the calf milk bucket for calves.

Also, an appropriate quantity can be provided based on experience.

5) After feeding, all utensils such as milk pails, milk cans, etc., must be thoroughly cleaned and then inverted to dry.
