I think a gallon to a newborn calf is way too much. It may regurgitate and inhale. Plus the volume and weight may physically damage/torsion intestinal tract. Depending on calf size, one to two quarts at a time is sufficient. Smaller amounts more often also leads to better digestion and less chance of scours....
