Effect of preweaning feeding of pasteurized and nonpasteurized milk on postweaning weight gain of heifer calves on a Californian dairy 1996-09-01 .txt text/plain 2831 134 53 A previous study indicated that feeding pasteurized colostrum and pasteurized waste milk to calves during the preweaning period resulted in reduced morbidity and improved weight gain compared with those fed nonpasteurized colostrum and nonpasteurized milk (Jamaludldin, 1995) . The objective of this observational study on a Californian dairy was to evaluate the effect of feeding pasteurized colostrum and pasteurized waste milk (versus unpasteurized colostrum and waste milk) during the preweaning period on postweaning weight gain of dairy heifers, controlling for demographic and morbidity variables simultaneously. Postweaning weights of calves were compared between the treatment groups, simultaneously controlling for age, birth weight, and number of days calves experienced diarrhea and pneumonia during the preweaning period using a time series cross section regression (PROC TSCSREG) (Statistical Analysis Systems Institute Inc., 1993). Results of the present study indicated that calves fed pasteurized colostrum and pasteurized waste milk during the preweaning period continued to perform better after weaning than those fed nonpasteurized colostrum and nonpasteurized milk. ./cache/cord-310366-da1hsuj4.txt ./txt/cord-310366-da1hsuj4.txt
