Weaning can be a particularly stressful time for calves, as they make the transition from a liquid feed diet to a solid feed diet, explains Tommy Cox, Teagasc DairyBeef 500 advisor in this video.

At weaning, calves should be healthy and not stressed. If there are any ‘issues’ with them, continue milk feeding. Stressful events such as castration, disbudding or vaccination will cause upsets and potentially cause a growth check after weaning.
