Lactose in milk replacer can partly be replaced by glucose, fructose, or glycerol without affecting insulin sensitivity in veal calves

Milk-protein substitutes in rations for veal calves.

Only small numbers of calves were fattened on whole milk alone, both in western Europe and Great Britain, until the 1960’s, d-hen suitable milk-substitute diets were developed. The lorn iron content of milk made calves anaemic (Blaxter, Sharman & MacDonald, ‘957) and lowered the myoglobin content of the muscle tissues. This resulted in white meat. In the course of time this whiteness bccame a m...

The Effect of Feeding Calves Milk Replacer 2x, 3x, or Pasteurized Milk

Evaluation of a colostrum supplement, with or without trypsin inhibitor, and an egg protein milk replacer for dairy calves.

Forty-eight Holstein bull calves were assigned to a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized block design. Main effects were colostrum versus a serum-derived colostrum supplement, 0 versus 1 g of trypsin inhibitor added at the initial 2 feedings, and milk replacer containing 0 or 50% CP from whole egg. Calves were bled at 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h after birth for determination of...

Zataria multiflora increases insulin sensitivity and PPARγ gene expression in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats

  Objective(s):In insulin resistance, the insulin action in liver, muscles and adipocytes decreases and result in hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. In this study we evaluate the effect of Zataria multiflora extract on insulin sensitivity in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats, since this extract was shown antihyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. ...

Utilization of Soymilk as Milk Replacer for Calves

An experiment was conducted to study the utilization of soymilk as milk replacer for raising calves. Nine crossbred calves were selected and divided into three groups on the basis of their body weight and genotype. The calves of group A were reared by cow milk, group B reared by strained soymilk and group C reared by unstrained soymilk. It was found that, total body weight gain of group A, B an...
