Calf Note #61 – Effect of Nutrient Intake on Growth in Beef Calves
ثبت نشده
چکیده
NOTE: Feeding, management and growth of beef calves varies somewhat from the methods used to raise dairy calves. Typically, beef calves are reared on the dam and intake of milk is determined by the nutrition of the cow and her ability to make milk. The information below is a review of literature regarding the growth of calves as it relates to milk production in beef cattle. The text in this note was adapted from a project written by Mr. Louis Caldwell as part of a research project at the University of Tennessee in 1990.

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...

In this experiment, we used 15 newborn Holstein male calves that their initial weight was 41 ± 4.5 kg and their age was one week. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three treatments and five replications. Treatments included: 1- control treatment without flaxseed, 2- treatment containing 5% flaxseed and 3- treatment containing10% flaxseed. Flaxseed replaced ...
متن کاملRelation of growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing hormone to estimation of milk production via deuterium oxide dilution in beef cattle.
Current methods of estimating milk production in beef cows can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to high variability. The weigh-suckle-weigh (WSW) method requires repeated separation of offspring from their dams. Machine milking requires that animals be acclimated to the equipment prior to the estimation. The objective of Exp. 1 was to validate a deuterium oxide (D2O) dilution met...

The present study was performed to determine the effect of resistant starch as a type of prebiotic and phenolic compound extract on performance, hematological and blood parameters of suckling Holstein calf. For this, 54 suckling Holstein calves (27 male and 27 female) were randomly assigned in 9 treatments including: RS1 (8 g resistant starch), RS2 (16 g resistant starch), PE1 (1800 mg phenolic...

Florida ranks third among states east of the Mississippi river and 12th nationally in total number of beef cows (Florida Agricultural Statistics Service, 2002 Report). In contrast with other states, that may feed or background many of their weaned calves, more than 75% of Florida's calves are marketed each year. The beef industry in Florida is based primarily on calves that are conceived, born,...
