The invention relates to the technical field of animal feeds and particularly relates to a starter feed suitable for calves. The starter feed suitable for calves comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of a granule material, 40-50 parts of tabletted grains, 0.1 part of a mildew preventive, 1-3 parts of soybean oil and 3-6 parts of molasses. The granule material is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 21-43 parts of soybean meal, 17-39 parts of cottonseed meal, 10-28 parts of DDGS, 17-30 parts of expanded soybeans, 2-8 parts of bran, 1-3 parts of stone powder, 0.8-2 parts of calcium hydrogen phosphate, 0.8-2.4 parts of table salt, 0.6-1.3 parts of saccharomycetes, 0.08-0.13 part of rumensin, 1.9-2.4 parts of a calf premix and 2-3 parts of molasses. The starter feed is capable of improving feed intake of the calves, increasing daily weight gain, reducing daily grain conversion efficiency value, inhibiting diarrhea of the calves, reducing excrement score, increasing chest depth and chest breadth of the calves and promoting the body size development of the calves.
