[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10366"] Everything is there, omasum, abomasum, reticulum and rumen, the rumen is just not functioning. All milk is directed to the abomasum, this will gradually change. The bugs are all present too, they just aren't stimulated until the calf starts eating solids. That's the reason a calf doesn't need anything to get the rumen started, but if too many antibiotics are given it can kill the rumen flora and may require a product that will get things going again. We used to just steal a cud from one of the others and feed it to them, now there are several products on the market that apparently do the same thing. dunmovin farms > Where do the microbes come from > that allow a calf to develop their > rumens, since they're born > monogastrics?
