Holstein calf

[Anonymous]

My son just purchased a 3-day old calf, My question is can an egg be added to the liquid ration to increase palatability. As always I would like to thank you in advance for your informative input.

I've heard of people putting in eggs to their calf's milk and having no problems with it, but others have not gone there because of a chance of salmonila.

If you buy the best quality milk replacer, there is no reason to risk putting eggs in it. The calf will drink it. Sometimes what looks like a calf refusing to drink is either a calf that needs some help latching on or a calf that is dehydrated and weak and needs to be tubed until he is strong enough to nurse.
