Overview

Comparative analysis reveals that feed enzymes improve growth in calves on canola meal mixtures, indicating better protein utilization.

Key Points

  • Improving calf starter mixtures with feed enzymes significantly increased growth rates and feed intake.
  • A total of 120 female Holstein calves showed better fecal scores with extruded canola meal versus conventional treatments.
  • Analysis evaluated four distinct treatments, including varying inclusions of canola meal and supplemental lysine.
  • Canola meal is demonstrated to be as valuable a protein source as wheat bran and DDGS for calf starters.
