This volume examines the raising of dairy calves, giving an account of all aspects of calf rearing from the rudiments of anatomy and development through the practicalities of feeding and housing. Beginning with an overview of how the calf's digestive system develops, it highlights the period of transition from preruminant to ruminant digestion. The authors provide information necessary to understand the nutritional needs and restrictions during the liquid-feeding phase in the young calf, as well as those factors that govern the development of a functional rumen. Major emphasis is given to the energy and protein requirements of the young calf, with attention to the effects of environmental temperature on energy requirements. The book discusses the management, nutrition, and care of the pregnant cow as well as calving management necessary to deliver a healthy calf. Other topics include liquid feeding systems, formulation and use of milk replacers and starter feeds, the weaning process, housing principles, and the interactions of nutrition and disease.
