Proper nutrition is the foundation of healthy calf development, impacting growth, immunity, and long-term productivity. In this session, experts will explore key aspects of early-life nutrition, from the critical balance of colostrum quality and quantity to the role of dietary fats in liquid feeds. Additionally, we’ll dive into the latest research on nutrition models to better predict and optimize calf growth. Join us for an in-depth discussion on feeding strategies that set calves up for success.
