Will a calf fed pasteurized milk die of malnutrition?

Yes, a calf fed only pasteurized milk will die of malnutrition because pasteurization destroys essential nutrients that the calf needs to survive and grow. Specifically, pasteurization destroys immunoglobulins, which are antibodies that help protect the calf from disease, and certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and iron. Without these nutrients, the calf will become weak and sickly and eventually die. In addition, pasteurized milk lacks the proper balance of nutrients that a calf needs for healthy growth and development, such as the right ratios of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
