Overview

Supplementing dairy calves with postbiotics improves growth and immune function, indicating better future productivity.

Key Points

  • SCFP calves gained 0.93 kg/d post-weaning compared to 0.60 kg/d in control calves.
  • Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate was higher in SCFP calves at 60 and 70 days, indicating better metabolism.
  • SCFP supplementation enhanced immune response as shown by increased myeloperoxidase and phagocytosis.
  • During first lactation, SCFP cows produced 2.1 kg/d more milk than control cows.
