Young animals are the future of the pasture, and their digestive function and immune barrier function are not well developed, and high morbidity and mortality have been perplexing the breeding industry. The advent of Laifuxing (LIFESTART) has fundamentally solved this industry problem, brought good news to the healthy growth of young animals and laid the foundation for the sustainable profitability of the pasture. Laifuxing (LIFESTART) is the first birthday gift given by excellent ranchers for the healthy growth of young animals. Laifuxing (LIFESTART) probiotics rapidly occupy the space and compete with harmful bacteria for breeding space, colonization site, nutrition and oxygen. Increase feed intake, improve feed conversion rate and increase daily gain. Prevention of diarrhea, improve the survival rate Activate their own immunity, improve immunity

Calf herding is a common topic in dairy farming. Not all pastures have easy access to a calf herding scheme. However, this does not mean that ranches cannot benefit from herding calves.
Assistant Professor, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of MinnesotaWhitney KnauerIt is believed that for many pastures, it is easier to pair up two calves together and can still produce positive results.

“I really like the pair feeding of calves. The calves in this feeding mode can have social activities, which has many benefits for calves. The pair feeding can also avoid the adverse effects brought by group feeding,” She said at the American Cow Veterinarians' Annual Meeting.
KnauerIt is explained that pair rearing requires few changes to the calf management scheme at the pasture and does not generally affect the milk feeding system. Pair rearing does not require the construction of a new barn, and both the calf island and barn can be adjusted to accommodate two calves.“There are many ways to adapt our existing facilities,”She said of the calves. Studies have shown that the benefits of pair-feeding of calves are the same as those of group feeding, including higher pellet feed intake at weaning, longer lying time, and fewer calls. Calves raised with companions reduce the fear of new things or new situations.KnauerIt is pointed out that pair rearing is very suitable for the current good pasture where calves are raised. If calves on a ranch are currently facing health challenges, this may not be a good time to switch to pair-feeding. This provides the greatest benefit to calves if pair-feeding is initiated between birth and three weeks of age.KnauerRecommended after the birth of calves7-10Breed individually within days, and then start pair rearing. The age difference between the two calves raised in pairs cannot exceed2week, preferably in1within the week.“Calves should be energetic and have a good appetite before moving to paired barn,”She added.

There are many ways to implement pair feeding in calf islands or cowsheds,KnauerAs a reminder, each calf must provide at least35Square feet (approx.3.3Square meters) of rest space.
Knauerpointed out that calves must be fed milk twice a day, at least6Liters of milk or milk replacer. The ideal situation is to use a bottle or bucket with nipples to slow down the milk drinking time and reduce mutual sucking.
KnauerIt is said that mutual sucking can be minimized by increasing the amount of milk fed and using bottle feeding with nipples. You can also choose to feed the two calves separately. This will increase the workforce.--In a trial at the University of Minnesota, each calf took about a minute--However, calf keepers have found that feeding is easier when calves are fed separately.KnauerIt is pointed out that in each calf house, each calf should be provided with a bucket of water and pellet. One of the benefits of herding is that calves can learn from their peers, so if one calf is eating pellets or drinking milk, the other calf will mimic this behavior and do the same thing.KnauerThe audience is reminded that no matter what system is used to raise paired calves, the principles of excellent feeding management apply. This includes colostrum feeding, proper bed rest, etc. These feeding management schemes are related to the success of pair rearing of calves.
