Emer talks us through labour saving techniques around the calf rearing process from now until weaning. She explains that once-a-day calf feeding will reduce the labour input around calf care by one-third.  \r\n\r\nResearch has shown there is no difference in average daily gain between calves fed once-a-day or twice-a-day but there was a significant reduction in labour.\r\n\r\nFor more information:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/media/website/publications/2017/Section3-Milk-feeding.pdf\r\n\r\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/media/website/publications/2018/CalfcareeventBooklet.pdf\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyhwegNyjls","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FizPp2YqaNPbmx7kOdSSeqe3lGqQ33mTmLaxiS1YEus/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwMTc5LzE1ODgz/Mjc3MzMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
