Once calves turn four weeks old, it may be worth farmers considering the move to once-a-day (OAD) feeding as a time saver.
Dairy Technical
Calves on many farms are now old enough to transition to once-a-day (OAD) feeding, which can reduce the workload considerably on farms.
The once-a-day (OAD) feeding of calves offers a number of benefits to dairy farmers during the spring, when the workload on farms is high.
The latest data from ICBF shows that calf registrations have fallen behind, when compared to the same period in 2021.
Once-a-day (OAD) feeding of calves can greatly reduce the labour required during the rearing period on farms.
