QUESTION

For proper growth of the calf whole milk feeding is desired up to the age of?

OPTIONS

(A) 60 days
(B) 30 days
(C) 90 days
(D) 180 days

ANSWER

(C) 90 days

EXPLANATION

Whole milk feeding is generally continued for calves up to about 90 days when a conventional milk-feeding system is being followed, although the exact weaning age depends on starter intake and management. Sixty or 30 days may be too short for the stated traditional recommendation, while 180 days is unnecessarily long for whole-milk feeding.
