Thank you

[@isaacwahome2952]

Calf rearing is one of the most sensitive part of raising a future dairy cow and for the first three months you have to get it right cos that's where most of the system forms especially the Milking system and to me pellets is a must from a recognized company cos it helps the rumen to develop early.

[@FredDairyFarm]

great advice.Thanks so much

Nafurahia kazi yako. Kindly niambie vile unakutanisha polythene iwe kubwa na Pana in making silage

[@FredDairyFarm]

Asante sana kaka.Ukiinunua inakuanga hollow inside,yaani inakuanga ya round.All you do ni kuikatanisha from one end then unaitandaza.

[@lucynyambura3118]

U don't cook the egg I like that...good content😂😂😂

[@chrismarie4505]

Great content! My question is, How often do you change the wood shavings? And doesn't the calf waste eg urine make the place to be dump?

[@FredDairyFarm]

Thank you for watching.I usually change after two days.I have plenty

[@joegathara5601]

Very informative. Eggs are supposed to be introduced at week? How long should they be used?

[@FredDairyFarm]

after four days.Break them and mix with the milk and feed the calf

[@joegathara5601]

Well noted for 3 months ?

[@FredDairyFarm]

@@joegathara5601to cut cost,two months is enough

[@jennyketer1342]

After weaning do you change the feeding program?

[@FredDairyFarm]

Yes.I introduce napier sillage,hay and supernapier plus concentrates

[@davidgachuche1426]

What can be the issue when a calf urinate urine with blood after drinking too much water?

[@FredDairyFarm]

how old is the calf? Are you using the same container that you feed milk with? You have to change the container.maybe its confusing milk with water.

[@stwambui7896]

How many kgs of daily meal do you feed your calf daily each month as it grows?

[@FredDairyFarm]

You start with handful of calf pellets from day three and you increase the amount as it grows until weaning,then introduce quality dairy meal one kg per day

[@davidkithinji]

Can you feed a calf with silage

[@FredDairyFarm]

Yes you can after two months,remember the rumen have not fully developed and silage is acidic.First start feeding it with soft chopped quality hay or grass.

[@antonymunene7624]

Are the eggs kienyenji or the others?

[@FredDairyFarm]

i use kienyenji.

[@lucynyambura3118]

how many kg of dairy meal&why not feeding hay plizz tell us

[@FredDairyFarm]

its not in kgs,just a hand full and you increase with time.For me i prefer the grass that i have grown myself.

[@josephnjoroge2956]

The eggs are nomal or kienyenji

[@FredDairyFarm]

kienyeji is the best.

What do you do for leaky teats?

[@FredDairyFarm]

is a symptom of impaired teat sphincter function.You should consult your vet,check for mastitis and maintain hygiene in your cow shed.

[@alokpandey6569]

Thank you

@@alokpandey6569 welcome

[@kachwekanofarmsuganda947]

Why don't you feed your calves on hay

[@FredDairyFarm]

i prefer feeding mulato or kikuyu grass

[@trueo.3781]

This means approx. Ksh500 per day, feeds alone, for just one calf, wow

[@FredDairyFarm]

NOP...you dont count the cost of milk coz that milk is meant for the calf. its like 200 or less per day depending with the prices

[@trueo.3781]

@@FredDairyFarm Yeah, right thing. Just trying to put together: Chak 6L ni kama 360/-; plus 2kg starter feeds 170; add 2 eggs 25/-. Totals approx. Ksh555/- per day. Ni kazi adier, lakini result is the motivation

[@FredDairyFarm]

@@trueo.3781 i get you.The thing is,the first three months are very crucial once you get it wrong,you are done.

Stop using more aaaaa.... And go straight to the point...
