    1 Kg according to this:


    8.5.1 Meal (concentrates) feeding
    Concentrates must be introduced to calves a minimum of 4 weeks before weaning. The meal shall be of the appropriate quality and standard as required for calves at weaning time. Meal must be fed in a feeder appropriate for calves and allow sufficient room for calves to feed. The daily allowance per animal must be increased over this period until all animals are eating, on average, 1.0 kg/head/day at weaning. Meal feeding must be continued through the weaning process for a minimum period of 2 weeks after weaning
