The Supplementation of Milk Replacements with Enzymes and other Products¹

The Pennsylvania State College

Abstract

The addition of papain powder and pancreatin powder to the milk replacement used, was deleterious in that growth was poor, feed consumption was low and dehydration and intestinal degeneration were evident on post mortem examination of the two fatalities.

Growth was below normal in the groups that received a dextrosemaltose-dextrin carbohydrate material at the 10 percent level. The addition of butyl fermentation solubles at the 5 percent level or condensed fish solubles at the 2 percent level did not enhance growth under the conditions studied.

A relatively simple formula of dried skimmilk, distillers dried solubles, dried whey with sources of vitamins A and D and essential mineral elements gave normal growth in the calves used in these experiments.
