Feeding enriched pasteurised transition milk to calves

To quantify the potential of feeding enriched pasteurised transition milk for 10 days in a block calving system, as opposed to an abrupt transition to whole milk/powder as is standard in the dairy industry. Data will be collected on neonatal calf diseases, Daily Liveweight Gain, antibiotic use (mg/PCE) and HP-CIA uses, plus animal welfare. This TOF will contribute to the Sustainable Land Management outcomes including:

  • Resilient and productive farms 
  • Reduce on farm emissions and maximise carbon sequestration 
  • Benefit people, animals and places
