This series of photos from PennState illustrates the process of rumen development in dairy calves.

Calves must transition from a simple-stomached animal that digests milk to a ruminant that digests solid feed. The goal is to have a more fully developed rumen before weaning calves off milk. By feeding starter and a little roughage before calves are weaned, they are better prepared (rumen is more developed) to digest the nutrients of solid food once it becomes their sole food source. Promoting rumen development before weaning is key to ensuring the calf is ready to transition to solid feed without experiencing a lag in growth.

Ensuring calves have fully developed rumens sets them up for success.
