The establishment of a nutritional plan with balanced feeding is important in raising calves for dairy purposes, since it calms the stress, they perceive when their milk is progressively reduced before weaning; In addition, it covers the nutritional requirements to reach the ideal weight in the expected period. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the effect of a feeding plan on growth in Holstein-Friesian females from birth to one month after weaning, through weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion. Ten Holstein-Friesian calves were required, which were weighed at birth and divided into a number of five calves for the control group T0 (applying the traditional rearing system of the farm); and five calves for the experimental group T1. The animals of the T1 group obtained better weights, higher feed consumption and better feed conversion values one month after weaning (p ≤ 0.05). It is concluded that the proposed balanced ration satisfies the nutritional requirements of the animals, managing to be weaned at two months, with suitable weight gains, feed consumption and feed conversion that determine a good development and production in the future.
