APF Supplements in Milk Replacements for Dairy Calves^{1, 2,}

The Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Fifteen male Holstein calves, 7 days of age, were divided into 3 comparable groups. One group was fed the basal ration and the other two groups were fed the basal ration supplemented with APF concentrates.

Under the conditions of this experiment, the addition of APF supplements to the basal milk replacement ration used, did not enhance growth above that obtained from the basal group.

The average calf starter consumption was higher for the supplemented groups than for the basal group.
