[QUOTE="novatech, post: 506296, member: 5494"] Getting the calves rumen system adapt to the new feed (starch) they will consume in the feed lot. To learn you must first understand the rumen system. So that is what I would google up first. I need to add this. The rumen contains (basically) 2 different types of microbes. One for digesting fiber (grass), and the other for digesting starch (Feed). When changing from one to the other it must be done slowly to give the microbes time to grow. [/QUOTE]
