Intensified Calf Feeding Programs for Purebred and Crossbred Calves
… three farms. Diet 20/20, 28/25, and 28/20 were milk replacers (MR) consisting of 20%, 28%, and 28% CP, and 20%, 25%, and 20% fat, respectively. Diet 20/20 was reconstituted at 10% DM solids, whereas diets 28/25 and 28/20 were reconstituted at 12.5% DM solids. Body weight, body length, hip …

Evaluation of spray-dried plasma in milk replacers fed at a high plane of nutrition on performance, intestinal permeability, and morbidity
… function in young calves when included in milk replacers (MR) fed at conventional rates. The use of a PP and wheat blend to replace a portion of whey protein has been shown to perform similarly to an all whey protein control MR. However, there are growing trends in the dairy industry to …

The effect of feeding frequency and alternative proteins in milk replacer on growing Holstein calves
Milk proteins (more specifically whey proteins) typically are the primary component of milk replacers (MR) and have been considered to be the gold standard for calves, because the lack of anti-nutritional factors and high digestibility that allows for growth rate similar to that of a calf consuming …

Duodenal and ileal digestibility of dietary nutrients and endogenous protein losses in pre- and post-weaning young dairy calves
… amino acids (AA) are crucial characteristics of milk replacers (MR) and calf starters (CS) in a calf-rearing program. Since AA are only absorbed in the small intestine and because the fermentation in the large intestine would alter AA profile in digesta, ileal digestibility is considered the most …

Improving Nutrient Utilization and Growth in Dairy Heifers
… Studies have shown that preweaned calves fed milk replacers (MR) with crude protein (CP) concentrations greater than the 20% typically found in conventional MR, have greater dry matter intakes (DMI) and average daily gains (ADG), but consume less starter which can lead to stress during weaning …
