Energy exchanges of veal calves fed a high-fat milk replacer diet containing different amounts of iron. Animal Production, 20, pp 69-75 SUMMARY 1. A total of 33 energy balance trials was conducted with veal calves offered a high-fat milk replacer diet containing 10, 20, 40 or 100 mg iron/kg DM. 2. There were no significant differences in weight gain, food conversion or energy retention between calves receiving 20, 40 or 100 mg iron/kg DM in their diet. Calves receiving only 10 mg iron/kg gained weight and retained energy at significantly lower rates than those in the other groups. 3. The metabolic heat production of calves receiving the liquid diet was greater than that of calves given the same amount of gross energy from a barley diet. The recommended air temperature of about 20°C for veal calf houses is therefore unnecessarily high.

“…Further examples of conditions associated with an increased RDW include iron deficiency, or other trace mineral deficiencies associated with macrocytic or microcytic anemia. 4,9,24,27 The small size of ruminant erythrocytes might cause falsely low results for RBC counts if automated analyzers are not calibrated correctly for cattle. Erroneous results for RBC parameters and indices might also occur due to in vitro hemolysis or inadequate blood sample-to-anticoagulant ratio, which might cause erythrocyte shrinkage or dilution.…”

An intake of spray-dried whole-ll)ilk powder equivalent to 2% of body weight was maintained in calves during the first 12 weeks of life when the powder was supplemented with iron, copper, and magnesium.Intakes relative to body weight declined after the age of 12 weeks when fortification with iron and copper ceased. Gradual increases in the dry-matter content of milk to compensate for the decline in abomasal capacity relative to body weight did not enhance intake between the age of 12 and 16 weeks.Supplementation of spray-dried whole-milk powder with iron and copper at levels of 46.7 and 5.1 mg/kg respectively maintained blood haemoglobin concentrations. Fortification of the powder with 0.25 g of magnesium per kg did not prevent, but appeared to delay, the onset of progressive hypomagnesaemia.An increase in the apparent digestibility of fat and a decrease in the digestibility of lactose and ash were noted with advancing age. Reconstitution rate did not affect the digestibility of milk nutrients up to the age of 16 weeks.
