The development and maturation of the calf gut is an important process that significantly influences calf’s growth and health during early life. More and more evidence indicate that the colonization and establishment of the gut microbiome can directly and indirectly influence animal’s gut function including development and metabolism, nutrition absorption, barrier and immune function, endocrine and neuron transmitter secretions, which can impact animals’ development and...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four dietary lipid supplements on milk composition and butter properties. Ten multiparous Holstein cows (64±21 days in milk) were used in a replicated 5×5 Latin square design. Cows received a basal diet without supplementation (CTL) or with 2% (dry matter basis) fatty acids (FA) provided as soybean oil (SO), calcium salts of palm FA (CS), hydrogenated tallow FA (HT) or palmitic acid-enriched supplement (PA). Treatment periods lasted 21...

Traditionally, milk fever prevention programs have attempted to directly alter Ca status of dairy cows at calving. Common approaches include feeding pre-fresh dairy cows diets containing anionic salts, restricting dietary Ca, feeding hyper-dietary Ca and administering Ca boluses. There is an abundance of research in regard to the mechanisms associated with dietary Ca alteration, dietary cation-anion difference as related to parathyroid hormone and vitamin D and the role they play in the...

In Spain, the beef fattening system is an intensive system where calves are commonly housed in partially open barns with straw bedding and 40% of the calves, mainly males, are from dairy origin (surplus calves). These calves are transported by road for long hours (up to 3-5 days) from their dairy origin farms to the rearing farm where these calves are fed low amounts of milk replacer for 6-8 weeks and concentrate and straw ad libitum in separate feeders from very young ages with a resulting...

The quality of the transition period is decisive for the success of the subsequent lactation cycle. Cows with a poorer transition produce less milk, take longer to become pregnant, and are more likely to lose pregnancy and to be culled from the herd, causing substantial economic losses. Investments in infrastructure, personnel, and nutrition focused on prevention and treatment of postpartum health problems, when effective, often result in an excellent return of investment because it...

Dairy goats can be highly productive to the level of exceeding that of dairy cattle on a metabolic body size basis. Far too often and due to limited controlled research studies, feeding practices used for dairy cattle are extrapolated to feeding dairy goats. Similarly, commercial supplements are formulated for sheep and goats even though there are well known nutritional differences, namely copper nutrition where goats have a higher requirement like cattle. Goats are selective browsers...

Introduction A wide range of in vitro and in situ techniques are used as alternatives to in vivo measurement of ruminal fiber availability. Fiber digestibility and forage fragility are critical factors should to be considered in forage evaluation and diet formulation for ruminants. Digestive characters of dietary neutral detergent fibers (NDF) fraction have been reported to greatly affect feeding behavior, chewing activity, rate of particles...

Lipid encapsulation has proved to be a valuable tool for protecting nutrients from degradation during processing, storage and digestion and making them available for absorption by the animal. Over the last years, many new encapsulated nutrients have entered the market. These products, and the processes that create them, differ greatly in design, technology, and unfortunately, performance. High quality encapsulated nutrients can provide nutritionists with a great deal of flexibility to...

Mohamed Donia (University of Illinois)      Ruminant neonates rely on colostral immunoglobulin and nutrients to support health, welfare, and performance, by protecting against infectious disease and providing early life resilience. Recent evidence suggests that transferred colostral cells also contribute to neonatal immunity under controlled experimental conditions. This study provides evidence that colostral cells enhance neonatal resilience to routine,...

Matheus Paez Martins Narciso (University of Alberta)       Although the importance of pH and short-chain fatty acids on rumen development are well known, their impact on the small and large intestine are unclear. This study investigated the effects of ruminal short-chain fatty acid concentrations ([SCFA]) and pH on the rumen and intestine of calves. Holstein bull calves (n = 32) were individually housed and fed milk replacer (900 g/d) twice daily and calf...
