Overview

Experiment shows enhanced growth performance in Holstein calves with transition milk feeding, indicating potential health benefits.

Key Points

  • Feeding transition milk until 21 days improved Holstein calves' daily growth and feed conversion efficiency.
  • Calves in the transition group had better growth performance, while faecal scores remained unaffected.
  • The study involved 20 newborn singleton Holstein calves assigned to control and transition feeding groups.
  • Blood samples showed no significant effects from transition milk feeding, except for specific serum concentrations.
