[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17298"] Thanks!! very informative. "Whether fed by a nipple feeder or open bucket, milk causes the esophageal groove to function until the calf is about twelve weeks old. However, some of the nonmilk proteins in milk replacers may not stimulate full closure of the esophageal groove. Incomplete closure results in less efficient digestion and absorption." This, it seems to me is saying that it is not bucket or bottle but WHAT the calf is eating that regulates the formation of this groove. This then leads me to ask if milk is not avalible then what should we look for in milk replacers as being good or not good for the development of this groove? > i think this will answer some of > your questions: > > <A HREF="http://www3.das.psu.edu/dcn/calfmgt/311/system.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www3.das.psu.edu/dcn/calfmgt/311/system.html</A> [email=altsciguy@yahoo.com]altsciguy@yahoo.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
