Feeding guidelines
If a feeding level of 13% of body weight is selected, as the preferred feeding regime, the below example will provide you guidance on feeding quantities. If your calf is larger or smaller than the averages indicated below, please adjust accordingly.
150 grams = 1 metric cup
Twice a day feeding - 150g/L
| Age | Approx. weight | Volume per feed | Grams per feed | Grams per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 days | - | Colostrum or Jumpstart™ fed ad-lib | ||
| 5-10 days | 30kg | 2L | 300g | 600g |
| 11-21 days | 40kg | 2.5L | 375g | 750g |
| 22-32 days | 50kg | 3L | 450g | 900g |
| 33 days to weaning | 60kg | 3.5L | 525g | 1050g |
Once a day feeding - 300g/L
| Age | Approx. weight | Volume per feed | Grams per feed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-4 days | - | Colostrum or Jumpstart™ fed ad-lib | |
| 5-10 days | 30kg | Follow twice a day feeding guide | |
| 11-21 days | 40kg | 2.5L | 750g |
| 22-32 days | 50kg | 3L | 900g |
| 33 days to weaning | 60kg | 3.5L | 1050g |
Once a day transition
If moving from Ancalf twice daily feeding to a once daily feeding programme, ensure this is done gradually over at least 3 days to achieve a final mixing rate no higher than 300g/L. Total grams per day should remain the same, and calves must have ad-lib access to solid feed such as meal and hay to support rumen development.
For example, each day increase main feed mixing rate by 50g and also drop 1L from the other feed:
Day 0: AM 3L (450g) + PM 3L (450g). Total 900g daily
Day 1: AM 3L (600g) + PM 2L (300g). Total 900g daily
Day 2: AM 3L (750g) + PM 1L (150g). Total 900g daily
Day 3: AM 3L (900g)
