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 …

Fundamental nutrition seeks to describe the complex biochemical reactions involved in
assimilation and processing of nutrients by various tissues and organs, and to quantify …

Background: Crops grown under elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentrations (eCO 2) contain
less protein. Crops particularly affected include rice and wheat, which are primary sources of …

The objective of the experiment was to evaluate effects of increased milk replacer feeding on
growth, intake, feed efficiency, and health parameters in stressed calves. Holstein bull …

Previous research has demonstrated that increasing the CP concentration from 16 to 26% in
milk replacers fed to male preruminant dairy calves at 1.5% of BW (DM basis) daily resulted …

Our objectives were to determine the effects of rapid growth rate during the preweaning
period and prepubertal protein supplementation on long-term growth pattern and milk …

The objective was to determine whether increased energy and protein intake between 2 and
14wk of age would increase growth rates of heifer calves without fattening. At 2wk of age …

Objective—To determine growth, morbidity, and mortality rates in dairy calves fed
pasteurized nonsaleable milk versus commercial milk replacer and compare economics of …

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 study objective was to evaluate average daily gain (ADG) in dairy heifer calves based
on health, feeding, management practices, and environmental factors. This study included …
