Carcass yield and growth of organs and innards of 40 crossbreed F1 Holstein X Gir calves fed different liquid diets (whole milk or fermented colostrum-based diets), supplemented or not with soy oil (45 mL) and with or without growth promoter Zeranol were evaluated. The animals were daily fed a diet with concentrate (23% crude protein), Tifton hay ad libitum and 3 L of milk or fermented colostrum. The animals were slaughtered at average weight of 57.38 kg and 60 days […]

The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of feeding whole goat milk or fermented cow colostrum supplemented or not with soy oil and with or without the growth promoter Zeranol on performance of kid goats. Twenty-four Alpine kid goats assigned to a completely randomized design in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement were used in this trial. The following variables were investigated: weight gain, intakes of dry matter and concentrate, feed conversion, and organ sizes. Significant differences […]

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of calves fed liquid diets based on integral milk or fermented colostrum, with or without addition of soybean oil, with or without zeranol application, as growth promoter. The calves development was evaluated from 15 to 60 days of age and the studied variables were: body weight (BW), withers height (WH) and heart girth circumference (HGC) at 60th day; solid feed intake (SFI); and weight gain (WG), withers increment (WI) and […]
