Wean your calves the stress-free way
- Wean your calves in a stress-free, two-stage process.
- Calves weaned in this two-stage process greatlyout-perform those weaned in the conventional way
What to do:
- Insert nose flap at 4-7 months of age.
- Leave the calves with their mothers.
- While the flaps are on, the calves can not get at the udder, so go in search of other food.
- Remove flaps and separate calves from mothers.
- Wash and re-use.
Benefits
- As the calves are already used to eating grass / creep feed, they rapidly start gaining weight.
- Stress is greatly reduced for calves.
- A conventionally-weaned calf takes up to 19 days to regain itspre-weaning weight following the stress of weaning.
- The findings of Quiet Wean are that the calves continue to grow andsickness is greatly reduced.
