A newborn calf requires 6 L of colostrum within 12 hours of being born, preferably 4 L (1 gal.) immediately after birth (or within 4 hours) and 2 L (0.5 gal.) a few hours after.
Basically, newborn calves shouldn't be given milk right after birth. They need colostrum because it contains crucial antibodies and immunoglobins that are needed for its suppressed immune system. Colostrum is, really, a maternal transfer of antibodies from the dam to the calf. "Normal" milk shouldn't be introduced to a calf (gradually) until 24 to 36 hours after birth.
What drink are you referring to? Water or Milk? Either way, a calf may drink around 2 to 4 gallons of milk or water per day, depend in on his weight.
That really depends on the breed, the individual cow and her level of nutrition, as well as how much the calf itself drinks.
It drinks 190 litres in a day
Feeding a calf, especially feeding it milk replacer from a bottle or bucket.

Pasteurized milk in the form of Homo, 2%, 1% and skim. You can kill a calf feeding that milk to it.
they drink milk that their mother provides
Start feeding them milk out your hand then try putting milk in the bowl and see if they will drink it
I think it's maybe harmful for newborn baby. There is no doubt that nothing better than mother feeding
An orphan calf will defecate at any time. A newborn calf tends to defecate a couple hours after he has first suckled, since milk is nature's way to encourage a calf to have his first bowel movements.
That all depends on the age and weight of the calf. Typically a calf should recieve 10% of its body weight in milk replacer per day.
A calf will butt it's mother's udder. This will encourage the milk to let down so that the calf can drink.
