I'm not sure. It seems that I have heard or read that the calf does not get as much of the nutrition from tubing as drinking. If so, then I would not think it all gets to the true stomach.
But again I am not real sure. I have gotten confused reading on another topic about roosters, red and white, days of the week, moon phases,etc. :shock:

You can see pictures of rumen and esophogeal groove in calves at
