Effects of delaying increase in milk allowance and type of gradual weaning program on performance and health of calves fed lower levels of milk
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of delayed increase in milk allowance and type of gradual weaning program on the feed intake, health, and growth of male Holstein calves. Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, each male Holstein calf was randomly assigned to 1 of 2 milk level treatments and 1 of 2 weaning treatments upon arrival to a rearing facility. Calves were either assigned to a moderate (MM) or lower (LM) milk level treatment. All calves received the same milk program from arrival until d 12, increasing from 4 to 5 L/d (115 to 125 g/L) over the 12 d. On d 13, MM calves began receiving additional milk compared with LM calves until they were weaned, with MM offered milk increasing to a peak of 9 L/d (140 g/L). Calves on the MM treatment received a total of 35 kg of milk replacer over 45 d, compared with LM calves, who received a total of 25 kg of milk replacer over 45 d. Calves were also assigned to be weaned by either a 2-step gradual program or a 4-step gradual program. Calves assigned to the 2-step program had their milk reduced in 2 steps from d 30 to 45, and 4-step calves had their milk reduced in 4 steps from d 30 to 45. After d 46, calves received no milk but continued to be monitored until d 59. Calves had ad libitum access to water from arrival, and solid feed was offered from d 5 onward. No interactions of effects of milk level and weaning treatment were detected. By design, calves on the MM treatment consumed greater amounts of milk than LM calves in the preweaning phase from d 13 to 29 (6.1 vs. 4.8 L/d) and weaning phases from d 30 to 45 (4.7 vs. 3.2 L/d). The LM calves consumed greater amounts of solid feed than MM calves from d 22 to 29 of the preweaning phase, and from d 30 to 40 and d 43 to 45 of the weaning phase, whereas postweaning feed consumption was similar for both milk treatments. Calves in both milk treatments had similar blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels, indicating similar rumen development. Body weight and size measurements were similar between milk treatments across the study, although LM calves had a greater average daily gain than MM calves between d 38 and 46 (0.96 vs. 0.71 kg/d). Both gradual weaning treatments resulted in similar feed consumption, growth, and health parameters. Overall, the results indicate that delaying a moderate increase in milk until 12 d after arrival at a rearing facility provided no overall beneficial effect on growth or rumen development.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
