A newborn will not eat any feed. Calves won't begin eating feed until they're at least a week old. Otherwise, you really need to feed colostrum to a newborn for the first 12 to 24 hours, then gradually switch over to milk replacer. You can introduce feed to a calf early, but don't expect it to eat it all like a mature cow will, because a calf is pretty much like a human in that it is more of a monogastric than a ruminant. This means that a calf needs to rely much more on milk than feed for the first few weeks of its life.
