KaliberThe crucial period in calf rearing
If you want to achieve a younger calving age of your heifers, the most important rearing period is between five and eight months of age. Practical experience and research show that young calves can grow very quickly in this period: more than 1,000g a day in some cases! While increased growth is an extremely valuable part of reaching the insemination weight quickly, it’s also worth paying attention to the type of growth. Animals can grow through becoming fat or through the development of the muscles and carcass. The Kaliber Rearing Plan is designed to achieve the latter approach. Read on to find out more about how you can make the most of this crucial rearing period.

SustainabilityIntroduction of the responsible feeding programme
As the world population continues to grow – to an estimated 9.8 billion people in 2050 – so does the need for access to affordable, safe and healthy food. The World Resources Institute estimates that we will see a 56 percent increase in the global demand for food, and an increase of nearly 70 percent in the demand for animal-based food. This is a major challenge that requires a critical look at the food production chains we are part of.

KaliberHow to get the best possible start with Kaliber
As a dairy farmer, you want your calves to be as heavy and well developed as possible. The Kaliber Calf Rearing Plan results in heifers that calve at 24 months and weigh 570kg after calving with the backline and the last ribs clearly visible. With our plan, you can optimise height, length and carcass. However, the success of this plan hinges on the first few months. Here’s what you need to know about how to get the most out of your start phase.
