how much meal ( calf crunch) should a bucket reared calf be eating , at two weeks a month or two months i presumed a half a kg a day would be about right , is this too little perhaps

I have 1 month bucket fed angus calves. They are eating just over half a kilo of calf crunch a day. I have only been bucket feeding them once a day with milk replacer since they were 1 week old. Seems to work pretty well.
