Administering colostrum to a newborn calf - Feed for Growth

Using a 4L feeder can allow you to feed much larger quantities of colostrum to your calves. When calves are fed with a bottle, the sucking reflex ensures that the oesophageal groove closes, which directs colostrum (or milk) directly into the abomasum where it can be absorbed.
