It is very important for calves born as preruminant to provide as soon as possible development of anatomical, physiological and microbial in order to be successful, economical and more productive in the later stages of their lives. Liquid (milk, milk replacer, skim milk, colostrum) and dry feeds (concentrated and roughage) and some feed additives (probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, enzymes) are effective in the postnatal development of the forestomaches of calves. Liquid feeds have a limited effect on rumen development. Concentrated feeds are more effective in the elongation and expansion of the rumen papillae, and roughages for muscular, wall thickness and volumetric development of the rumen. The addition of probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils and enzymes to calf rations improves the digestive system environment and the digestion of nutrients, thus creating positive effects on the forestomaches development. In order to stimulate a functional rumen development in calves, it be beneficial to give dry feeds, feed additives from an early life with together liquid feeds.
