[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 74899, member: 663"] The rumen in young calves is not functional, so milk there will tend to putrefy. The esophogeal groove is an anatomical structure which closes and carries liquids past the rumen and reticulum and mostly into the true stomach for proper digestion. If memory serves, the act of sucking stimulates the closure of this groove.So young calves need to be on a teat, natural or artificial. [/QUOTE]
