[QUOTE="mdw, post: 1737807, member: 42406"] My bovine internist friend got back to me. He told me that I was partially correct. Some calves, if tube fed after 48 hours, will keep the milk in the rumen, ferment it and get scours and acidotic and possible die. Some calves will quickly empty the milk that you put into the rumen into the abomasum for a few days after the 48 hour time limit and do not get sick (and so you can safely tube feed them for a few more days). My apologies for being incomplete in what I wrote. [/QUOTE]
