A System of Rearing Dairy Calves with Limited Use of Milk

Department of Animal Husbandry, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York

ABSTRACT

In 1907, experiments were begun here relative to methods of rearing calves under conditions where milk and its products were either unavailable or uneconomical to use. The results of studies made from 1907 to 1909 have been published by Savage and Tailby (1). The work described by these authors included studies of various proprietary calf meals and of dried milk products as substitutes for skim milk. In continuation of the work begun in 1907 the studies here reported describe results obtained with a system of feeding which does not involve the use of milk or its products after the first few weeks of age.

The need of such a system in dairy practice is for the dairyman who sells his product as market milk and has no skim milk for calf rearing; for the use of whole milk is too expensive to be practicable in most herds. The problem is by no means a new one.
