Following Sernicks optimal calf programme allows replacement heifers to develop to their full genetic potential.

Feed Sernicks Calf Starter meal ad lib from 3 days old until approximately 10 weeks old or until the calf ingests around 700 g (for small-framed breeds) or 900 g (for large-framed breeds). After weaning, feed calves growth meal or pellets ad lib until they reach approximately 5 months old. After this, intake should be adjusted according to the heifer growth curve.
