Preliminary results of on-going research on calf feeding make essential reading for anyone wanting to rear the best heifer replacements they can.The Milk Bar team say they have been startled by what they have found so far in testing the effect teat design has on rearing pre-weaned calves.A trial conducted by an independent research facility started in March 2014 and will follow the same heifers through to the time they start milking in 2016. While Milk Bar commissioned the trial, it is important to note that they had no input once the trials commenced. Teat treatments were randomised and blinded to the technicians.
