For lifetime performance the first weeks of the calf’s life are critical but also a window of opportunity for dairy farmers. The health status in early life has been shown to be a major factor for milk yield, fat and protein production.  Just born calves are vulnerable for diseases because they lack an active immunity system. The gut epithelium still needs to develop, and microbiota colonization still needs to take place.

Not age, but growth determines heifer development

Extra grams gained early translate into extra litres later
