Newborn calves generally refer to calves that are born within 7 days. At this time, the tissues and organs of calves are not yet fully developed, and their resistance to the surrounding adverse environment is poor, the nervous system is underdeveloped, the body temperature regulation ability is poor, and the digestive function is weak. Extensive feeding management can easily lead to illness and death of newborn calves, especially when winter comes and the weather is cold, so it is more important to strengthen the feeding management of calves.
