Effects of plane of milk-replacer nutrition on the health, behavior, and performance of high-risk Holstein bull calves from a commercial calf ranch 2020-04-30 .txt text/plain 5149 246 59 ABSTRACT Objective This research study aimed to determine whether preweaning plane of milk-replacer nutrition influences health, standing and oral behaviors, and performance of high-risk calves. The HPN calves had greater performance over the preweaning period including final BW, ADG, and feed:gain (total kg of milk replacer + calf starter, kg of DM/kg of BW gain), but weaning was more stressful for HPN calves. Determining the effects of an increased plane of nutrition (PON) on the health, behavior, and performance of high-risk dairy calves can help establish recommendations for feeding calves more milk solids to increase measures of gain and animal health without compromising normal calf behavior. Potential issues with high-risk calves being fed a HPN may be reduced with increased feeding times per day, a gradual step-up method, or other nutritional strategies that improve gastrointestinal development and function. ./cache/cord-267659-9iy8l55f.txt ./txt/cord-267659-9iy8l55f.txt
