[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1763974, member: 25884"] Calf manna is not meant to be fed as the only source of grain. It should be fed as an "additive" to some sort of regular grain. We have used calf manna off and on for years to "up" the protein in the grain we feed. Using like a cup or so per animal....mixed in with their grain. Get a calf grower feed in the 12- 14% range and feed 2% of their body weight. Or a feed like an overall feed in the 10-12% range and add a cup of calf manna per animal if you want to up the protein. I would also go with a tub to add to their protein intake, if it is more convenient. I use an "all natural" tub that is 20% protein. No urea. Personal preference. Most tubs that have urea are 20-24% protein. It is a "cooked tub" so is harder and takes a little more effort to lick but it limits their intake. Tubs are more expensive to feed than just a simple grain feeding... but are very convenient. Some cows don't seem to care and others want to hang there and lick half the day. [/QUOTE]
