The general principles of growth and nutrients required are no different for young calves
than for any other species. Additional complexity is introduced, however, by the need to …

Conventional milk feeding for calves (by bucket twice daily at a total of 10% of body weight)
was compared with feeding milk for ad libitum consumption from a nipple. Calves were …

Milk consumption, dry feed intake, body weight (BW) gain, occurrence of diarrhea, and
selected blood metabolites were studied in female Holstein calves fed milk either through …

The objective of this study was to determine if increasing the energy and protein intake of
heifer calves would affect growth rates, age at puberty, age at calving, and first lactation milk …

Our objectives were to determine the effect of starter crude protein (CP) content on growth of
Holstein calves from birth to 10 wk of age in an enhanced early nutrition program, and to …

The aim of this experiment was to examine the effects of concentrates in feed, differing in
carbohydrate source, on the growth performance and rumen fermentation characteristics of …

The objective of this experiment was to examine the effects of concentrates in feed, differing
in carbohydrate source, on the rumen development of veal calves. For this purpose, 160 …

Mortality in preweaned dairy calves is a significant source of economic loss for dairy
producers. In particular, bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a leading cause of death in …

Interest has increased recently in the question of whether early-life events, particularly plane
of nutrition and subsequent rates of growth during the milk-feeding period, might affect later …

Eighty female Holstein calves (12±4.1 d of age and 42±4.3 kg of BW) were collected from
different herds, brought to the study site, and blocked by age and assigned to either a 6 L/d …
