No.
we have to force it down him
He may, however, have a sore throat if you are tube feeding, and so be reluctant to suckle.
There are too many issues that could potentially be causing this calf to not want to drink, to suggest a cause. IMO it's probably not caused by not enough colostrum.
But it's a very normal outcome of bypassing the calf's strongest instinctive time for suckling (< 6 hours old) and then tube feeding.
In my herd I try as far as possible to ensure that all calves get a fed within that 2 - 6 hr period, not only because of the need for colostrum but because the strong suckling instinct *fades* after that time if the calf is still hungry. If the calf isn't hungry because he's fed, he'll suckle again when he is.
Feeding outside of that time, it may be necessary to tube feed. As far as possible I don't start a calf with tube feeding. I've experienced too many babies that need tube-fed every feed for 2 - 4 days because they then don't want to suckle (sore throat or not hungry).
Every article on rearing dairy calves just about will instruct you to tube feed (every calf) colostrum to make sure they've got it. This is why I won't do it.
Other possible issues:
Low birthweight. Calf given 5% of its birthweight should be hungry 12 hours later, if 4 pts was more than 5% it may not be.
Weak calf - may not want to suckle when hungry. Sick calf might be more interested in wallowing in misery/quietly dying than hunger.
Calf knows it has a mother. May sulk and refuse to feed until it gets the *real* stuff (this is so much fun when you've forcibly removed a dairy calf from its momma).
Feed offered is unpalatable - is it warm (blood heat)? Properly mixed? Sweet-tasting? Not too hot - they don't like having their tongue burned.
