Supplementation levels for suckling female calves under grazing: productive and nutritional performance and metabolic profile

Abstract: The objective in this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation levels on productive and nutritional performance and metabolic profile in suckling female calves under grazing. Forty female calves (averaging 3.5±0.06 months and 127.3±2.68 kg), and their respective dams were distributed in a completely randomized design with two treatments and twenty replicates. The treatments were 1) 4 g kg-1 body weight (BW) of supplement or 2) 6 g kg-1 BW of supplement. Forage and organic matter (OM) intake did not… Show more

“…Thus, SUP female calves had values above and closer to those recommended to favour a higher forage intake and degradation, suggesting a better equilibrium of protein to energy ratio. This metabolic adequacy in the SUP female calves can explain the higher intake not only in total DM but also of forage DM and nutrients, as also reported in the studies of Da Silva et al [20] and Ortega et al [21].…”

“…The UUN excretion is positively related to the concentration of SUN and CP intake (Ortega et al, 2020). Similar UUN excretions between treatments associated with the higher CP intake by the supplemented animals indicate a better utilization efficiency of the nitrogen consumed compared with the animals of the control group.…”

“…The greater digestibility of CP in supplemented animals in relation to the control group may be attributed to the higher intake of CP (Table 2), which allows lower participation of the endogenous protein and reduces the representativeness of the fecal metabolic fraction of the nitrogen compounds (Ortega et al, 2020). By contrast, the negative EE digestibility of the forage observed in the animals of the control group was a consequence of the low EE levels consumed (forage), which was below the fecal metabolic contribution.…”
