Teaching to drink milk

  1. Hand feeding:
  • Calf should go without food for first few hours to develop an appetite. Then calf should be taken to one corner of the pen and insert two fingers of right hand into the mouth, while holding milk in left hand convenient for the calf.
  • While calf suckles the fingers, the muzzle is gradually pressed down into milk pan. This way calf will learn to drink milk soon.

 

  1. Pail feeding:
  • A pail containing milk for calf is placed at the convenient height. Pail has a nipple attached to a side near the bottom through which the calf can suckle milk.
