摘要
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased milk feeding levels (4 vs. 8 L) or housing (paired or individual) during the preweaning stage on subsequent weight gain, health, and reproductive parameters over time. Calves receiving a higher amount of milk gained more weight than calves receiving the standard amount. Furthermore, calves that were housed in pairs also gained more weight than traditionally housed and fed calves. This suggests that both nutrition and social dynamics can influence performance of preweaned calves. Further investigation is needed to understand the mechanisms driving increased weight gain in socially housed calves.
