Feeding Directions
For best results, feed for at least 28 days during periods of coccidiosis exposure or when experience indicates that coccidiosis is likely to be a hazard.
Each pound contains 18.2 mg decoquinate. Feed at a rate to provide 22.7 mg of decoquinate per 100 pounds of body weight per day in the total ration, feed Commercial Calf DQ at the following rates:
| Calf Weight, lb | mg Decoquinate required per calf per day | Quarts fed per feeding twice a day |
| 75 | 17.02 | 1.5 |
| 100 | 22.69 | 2 |
| 125 | 28.36 | 2.5 |
| 150 | 34.03 | 3 |
BIRTH
Feed 3-4 quarts of colostrum immediately after birth (need to provide 100 g of IgG). Feed 2-4 additional quarts within 12 hours of birth and feed 2-4 more quarts at 24 hours of age. Always use the highest quality colostrum available. If necessary, use an esophageal feeder. Don’t let the calf determine intake.
2 to 42 DAYS
Feed Commercial Calf 24/24 DQ according to the table above until the calves are 42 days old (or until the calf consumes 2 lb of Kent® Calf Starter per day for 3 consecutive days, whichever occurs last).
GENERAL MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
1. Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
2. Start feeding Kent® Calf Starter when calves are 4 days old. Start with a small amount (0.5 lb) and gradually increase as the calf’s consumption increases. Provide a fresh amount each day to stimulate consumption.
3. Wean calves when consuming 2 lb/day Kent® Calf Starter.
Mixing Directions
Mix 10 ounces (0.625 lb)* of Commercial Calf 24/24 DQ in 2 quarts of warm (110°F) water. Add powder to water and mix vigorously with a whisk. Use of cooler water requires greater mixing action and increases the possibility of the powder settling out. Feed immediately.
Warning
Do not feed to cows producing milk for food.
