Effect of solid feed on energy and protein utilization in milk-fed veal calves.
Little knowledge on the digestive and metabolic utilization of solid feed in veal calves is available. The objectives of the study were to determine the effects of 2 solid feeds offered at 2 feeding levels (FL90 and FL105) in addition to a milk replacer on heat production (HP) and protein and fat deposition in veal calves. Sixteen calves (148.0 +/- 3.7 kg) received milk replacer (75% of a refer...
متن کاملThe provision of solid feeds to veal calves: II. Behavior, physiology, and abomasal damage.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of two roughage sources (wheat straw and beet pulp) to the milk replacer diet of veal calves, in order to reduce stress and improve animal welfare. We allocated 138 Polish Friesian male calves to three different feeding plans: a milk replacer diet (Control), 250 g/d of wheat straw in addition to the milk replacer, or 250 g/d of d...
متن کاملThe provision of solid feeds to veal calves: I. Growth performance, forestomach development, and carcass and meat quality.
Growth performance, forestomach development, and carcass and meat quality of veal calves fed a milk replacer diet (Control) were compared to those obtained from calves fed the same liquid diet plus 250 g x calf(-1) x d(-1) of dried beet pulp or wheat straw. Three groups of 46 Polish Friesian calves, balanced according to initial BW, were assigned to the three dietary treatments in a fattening t...
متن کاملTransferable vanB2 Tn5382-containing elements in fecal streptococcal strains from veal calves.
Three vancomycin-resistant veal calf fecal streptococci, identified as Streptococcus gallolyticus (n = 2) and Streptococcus lutetiensis, were shown to harbor vanB2 Tn5382-like elements earlier described in enterococci. One S. gallolyticus strain had a 1,495-bp IS256-related element inserted in vanS(B). The vanB2 Tn5382 element present in the plasmid-free S. lutetiensis strain was transferable t...
متن کاملShort communication The effect of four ®brous feed supplementations on different welfare traits in veal calves
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the optimum starch-®bre content of manufactured dry feed for veal calves. In three identical barns (B1, B2, B3), 126 calves were assigned to seven groups fed the same milk replacer. In each barn there was a control group (C1, C2, and C3), fed only the all-liquid diet, and one (or two in B3) group(s) receiving additional pellets (P1, P2, P3, and P4). ...
