“…Sodium bicarbonate added as a buffer to fermented colostrum increased the serum IgG concentration in neonatal calves compared with those fed fermented colostrum only (Foley and Otterby, 1978). Feed intake was improved when acidified (Eppard et al, 1982) or fermented (Jenny et al, 1984) colostrum was supplemented with NaHCO 3 . Sodium bicarbonate also has bacteriostatic effects, inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli 0111 in human milk (Bullen et al, 1972) and bovine colostrum (Griffiths and Humphreys, 1977).…”

Fifty-two dairy calves were blocked by birth date and, within each block, randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments to investigate the effects of incremental levels of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO(3)) on IgG metabolism. Treatments were (1) colostrum replacer (CR)+0 g of NaHCO(3) (control); (2) CR+15 g of NaHCO(3); (3) CR+30 g of NaHCO(3); or (4) CR+45 g of NaHCO(3). Calves were fed colostrum replacer (>200 g of IgG) in one feeding within 45 min of birth (0 h) and 2 L of milk replacer at 12, 24, 36, and 48 h. Only calves born in calving pens from multiparous cows with no dystocia were used in this study. Blood samples were taken at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h postpartum, and serum was analyzed for IgG using radial immunoassay and bicarbonate using spectrophotometry. Feeding increasing levels of sodium bicarbonate had negative linear effects on IgG concentration, IgG apparent efficiency of absorption, and IgG area under the curve, primarily due to the effect of the highest dose of NaHCO(3) (45 g). Sodium bicarbonate treatments had no effect on serum bicarbonate concentration. However, area under the curve of serum bicarbonate increased linearly with the amount of NaHCO(3) fed.

“…Foley and Otterby (1978) observed that neonatal calves receiving buffered colostrum had higher serum IgG concentrations than calves fed fermented colostrum. Addition of sodium bicarbonate to fermented colostrum (Jenny et al, 1983) and to acidified colostrum (Eppard et al, 1982) improved feed intake when compared with acidified or fermented colostrum that did not contain additional sodium bicarbonate. Bullen et al (1972) reported that bovine colostrum that contained supplemental sodium bicarbonate had increased bacteriostatic activity…”

The objectives of this experiment were to determine whether feeding anionic salts to prepartum Holstein cows affected their calf's colostral IgG passive transfer and whether adding sodium bicarbonate to a colostrum replacer (CR) would increase the efficiency of IgG absorption. Forty Holstein cows and their resulting calves were assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments in a randomized complete block design based on expected date of calving. Three weeks before the projected due date, cows were placed on 1 of 2 treatments: a diet without anionic salts (dietary cation-anion difference of +77 mEq/kg) or a diet with anionic salts (dietary cation-anion difference of -100 mEq/kg). Within 45 min after birth, all calves received 1 dose of a commercially available CR (132g of IgG) without or with supplemental sodium bicarbonate (19.5 g/dose). A half-dose of CR (66g of IgG) and sodium bicarbonate (9.75g) was fed at 6h of age. Calves received milk replacer at 12, 24, 36, and 48h. Blood samples were obtained from calves at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48h and were analyzed for IgG concentration. Cows fed the diet supplemented with anionic salts had lower DMI on d 8, 5, 4, and 1 and lower urine pH 2 and 1 wk before parturition compared with cows fed the diet without supplemental anionic salts. Calves born from dams receiving anionic salts had similar IgG concentrations (15.1 vs. 14.4g/L) and apparent efficiency of absorption values (29.2 vs. 28.2%) compared with calves born from dams not fed anionic salts. Calves receiving supplemental sodium bicarbonate in the CR had higher serum IgG concentrations at 12 (14.4 vs. 12.0g/L), 24 (16.3 vs. 13.2g/L), and 48h (14.6 vs. 11.2g/L) and higher apparent efficiency of absorption values (31.2 vs. 26.1%) than calves that did not receive sodium bicarbonate in the CR. Calves receiving sodium bicarbonate also had greater area under the curve values for IgG absorption compared with calves not receiving sodium bicarbonate. There was a trend for an interaction with calves born from dams fed anionic salts having a greater area under the curve when fed supplemental sodium bicarbonate. Of the 40 calves in the study, 90% obtained adequate passive transfer (serum IgG > or = 10g/L). This study indicates that feeding anionic salts to the dam has no effect on passive transfer, whereas adding sodium bicarbonate to the CR increased IgG uptake in calves.

RESUMO -Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho de bezerros em fase de aleitamento submetidos a dietas líquidas à base de leite integral ou colostro fermentado, com ou sem adição óleo de soja, e aplicação ou não de zeranol, como promotor de crescimento. O desenvolvimento dos bezerros foi avaliado entre o 15 o e 60 o dia de vida e as variáveis estudadas foram: peso corporal (PC), altura de cernelha (AC) e circunferência torácica (CT) aos 60 dias de idade; consumo de alimentos sólidos (CAS); e ganho de peso (GP), incremento de cernelha (IC) e incremento torácico (IT) durante o período experimental. Foram empregados 40 bezerros mestiços holandês x zebu utilizando-se delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2³. O fornecimento de colostro fermentado proporcionou melhores resultados para as variáveis PC e GP, quando comparado ao leite integral, sendo contudo semelhantes àqueles sob a aplicação de zeranol. Não se observaram efeitos significativos para nenhum dos fatores estudados sobre o CAS. A adição de óleo de soja aos alimentos líquidos proporcionou melhores CT e IT. Observou-se interação entre os fatores óleo e zeranol sobre a variável IC, em que a aplicação de zeranol propiciou melhor desenvolvimento aos animais recebendo dietas líquidas adicionadas de óleo de soja.Palavras-chave: altura de cernelha, circunferência torácica, colostro fermentado, ganho de peso, óleo de soja, zeranol Performance of Early Weaned Calves Fed Different Liquid Diets withGrowth Promoter Application ABSTRACT -The objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of calves fed liquid diets based on integral milk or fermented colostrum, with or without addition of soybean oil, with or without zeranol application, as growth promoter. The calves development was evaluated from 15 to 60 days of age and the studied variables were: body weight (BW), withers height (WH) and heart girth circumference (HGC) at 60 th day; solid feed intake (SFI); and weight gain (WG), withers increment (WI) and heart girth increment (HGI) during the experimental period. Forty crossbred Holstein x Zebu calves were used. The experiment was analyzed in a complete randomized design in 2³ factorial outline. The supply of fermented colostrum provided better results for BW and WG, compared to the integral milk, being however similar under the zeranol application. There were no treatment effects on SFI. The addition of soybean oil to the liquid feeds provided better values for HGC and HGI. An interaction was observed between the factors oil and zeranol on the variable WI. The zeranol application provided better development in the animals fed soybean oil added to liquid diets.
