Effects of Oregano (Origanum vulgare) and Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Oils on Growth Performance and Blood Parameters in Holstein Suckling Calves

This experiment was conducted to compare the effect of supplementation of milk with thyme (THY) and oregano (ORE) essences separately or a mixture of THY and ORE essences on growth performance, haematological parameters and some blood metabolites of Holstein suckling calves. Forty-eight Holstein calves (48.31±5.82 kg) were randomly allocated to four treatments including (1) control without esse...

The effects of organic selenium (Sel-Plex) on the viability of pneumonic Holstein suckling calves

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplemented selenium (Se) on plasma cortisol, red blood cell glutathione peroxidase activity (RBC GSH-PX-1), concentration of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and body weight in pneumonic suckling calves. Ten Holstein suckling male calves were randomly allocated to two groups and fed either unsupplemented milk (control) or with milk supplemente...

Effect of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Yeast and Butyrate Monoglycerides on Performance, Blood Parameters and Nutrients Digestibility in Holstein Suckling Calves

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and butyrate monoglycerides on the performance, blood parameters and nutrients digestibility in suckling Holstein calves. For this experiment, 32 newly-born Holstein calves (average age 1-8 days; average weight 38±1 kg) were used in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangement, 4 treatmen...

Suckling Behavior in Sperm Whale Calves: Observations and Hypotheses

This study is the first to describe quantitatively the apparent suckling behavior of sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758), calves using observations from both above and below the surface. Peduncle dives are short (mean 14 s) dives made by sperm whale calves beside the peduncle of an adult female, which were previously assumed to be indicative of suckling. Photo-identification an...
