Tend-R-Leen Training Manual Module 3 Module 3: Tend-R-Leen Feeding Schedule (536)

Tend-R-Leen Feeding Schedule (536)

The Tend-R-Leen Feeding Schedule is based on:

  1. Healthy calves with reasonable growth ability.
  2. Actual results from independent feeders. 
  3. Good management and health program to keep death loss at a minimum. 
  4. Use of ionophores, implants, sodium diacetate, and TM salt.

(Results are average research farm conversions and daily gains.  Actual results will vary depending on the genetic ability of the animal).
