Most unrecognized problem in calves
Failure to separate water and starter buckets is the most common unrecognized problem in calves, says Al Kertz, nutritionist with ANDHIL, LLC. Water intake is directly related to dry matter intake. If water and starter buckets are not separated, the calf will dribble feed into water and water into feed. This reduces the intake of both feed and water, and decreases daily gain.
