just shows the amount of accumulated knowledge on the forum, that is freely given, as opposed to the vets, expensively given.Update.
Rep knew nothing about not feeding urea to calves. When I explained to him what had happened he did ask if I would like to take the complaint further, to which I said at the least they should have better labelling.
Sent the label to the vet who replied that the pellets shouldn’t be given to young calves, but if they are being fed, needs to be a TMR with LOTS of straw to balance it.
Rest of the calves are now going on well, was a very expensive experiment and a hard lesson, but still learning after 35yrs in the job!
Many thanks to all who responded.
would have a go at the feed firm, should, at the very least, give you a decent discount, on a few tons
