“…Water consumption was greater in EF compared with CF calves for the first 27 days of the study, as a consequence of the greater MR concentration used in the EF (18%) compared with that used in the CF calves (12.5%), as it was reported in the study by Jenny et al (1978). However, coinciding with the days around weaning, EF calves further increased water consumption and the ratio between water consumption and total DMI, suggesting that EF calves tried to compensate for the reduction of MR offered with an increased consumption of water.…”

“…Even though calves fed IM+B had a greater number of days scoring ≥3 for fecal, other studies have shown that increasing milk DM can result in looser stool. In a study conducted by Jenny et al (1978), the incidences of scouring in liquidfed calves was directly related to DM concentration, with an increase in liquid feed or a decrease in calf starter resulting in an increase of calf diarrhea. This could also have been caused by changes in osmolality affecting the absorption of water in the intestines when milk balancer was added to the whole milk and increased the osmolality from 280 to 483 mOsm/L.…”

Two experiments were conducted to determine the growth and health effects of supplementing heat-treated whole milk with pasteurized milk balancer products in calf-feeding programs. All calves were removed from their dams at birth (d 0), fed 3.8L of heat-treated colostrum, and received assigned treatments from d 1 until weaning at d 56. Calves were weighed and skeletal measurements taken every 7 d from d 0 until 56. Average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) were calculated. In experiment 1, 80 Holstein heifer calves were used to investigate the effects of supplementing 2 levels of heat-treated whole milk with or without a pasteurized all-milk balancer. Four dietary treatments (n=20) were used. Calves receiving milk (M) and milk plus balancer (M+B) were fed 3.8L of milk divided into 2 equal feedings daily. Calves fed increased milk (IM) and increased milk plus balancer (IM+B) received 3.8L of milk divided into 2 equal feedings from d 1 to 14, 5.7L from d 15 to 42, and 2.85L fed once daily from d 43 to 56. Treatments M+B and IM+B included pasteurized all-milk balancer fed at a rate of 0.23kg per 3.8L of milk. In experiment 2, 72 Holstein heifer calves were used to investigate the effects of supplementing either a pasteurized all-milk balancer or a pasteurized protein-blend milk balancer. Three dietary treatments (n=24) were used. Calves were fed 3.8L of milk divided into 2 equal feedings from d 1 to 14 and 5.7L from d 15 to 56. Treatment IM did not include any supplements. Balancer was added to IM+B and increased milk plus protein-blend balancer (IM+PB). Balancer was supplemented at a rate of 0.23kg per 3.8L of milk. In experiment 1, calves fed IM+B had greater average body weight (BW) and average daily gain compared with calves given other treatments. Calves fed 5.7L of milk had greater FE than those fed 3.8L regardless of balancer added. In experiment 2, calves fed IM+B and IM+PB had greater BW when compared with calves given M. Calves fed IM+PB had comparable BW and FE to calves given IM+B. The enhanced calf-feeding programs evaluated in this study were successful in increasing growth in preweaned calves when supplementing milk balancer product to heat-treated whole milk. Health scores of fecal, respiratory, and attitude determined illness. Feces were looser for calves receiving IM+B and IM+PB, but attitude scores did not confirm an illness and so overall health was not different between treatments.

“…This was probably due to less discrimination being practiced at time of purchase. There was no difference in disease incidence between frequency or feeding level indicating that feeding calves at the higher level was not stressing the calves in the manner suggested by Jenny et al (1978 (Roy et al 1958). The correlation of plasma glucose with feed efficiency observed also indicated a positive metabolic response to the higher level of intake (Payne et al 1970).…”

Thirty-two male Holstein calves, beginning at I wk of age, were used to estimate differences in weight gain between two feeding levels and two feeding frequencies over a period of 3 wk. Calves were randomly assigned to one of the following four treatments: whole milk (WM) fed at ll%o of body weight (BW) twice a day; WM fed at l\Va BW, three times a day; WM fed at l2Vo of BW, in two feedings per day, or WM fed at l2Va of BW, in three feedings per day. Body weight gains and feed conversions were 2'79 and 437 g per day and 12.02 and 9.51 kg whole milk per kilogram of gain for the l0 and l2Vo levels of feeding, respectively.There was a trend towards increased rate of gain and improved feed efficiency when calves were fed twice compared to three times a day. Cost of medication was not influenced by level or frequency of feeding. It was concluded from this study that feeding whole milk at l27o of body weight was preferable to feeding at the l07o level of intake.
