Abstract

Background and objectives: Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases in young dairy calves. This disease results in economic loss on dairy farms. Addition of high fiber by-products to calf starter diet may have beneficial effect on preventing calf Diarrhea. Furthermore, milk Plane of nutrition has direct effect on calf health and growth during the pre-weaning period and in the future heifers were replaced in the herd. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of substituting steam-flaked corn grain (SFC) with shredded sugar beet pulp (SBP) in starter feed diet and milk replacer (MR) Plane of nutrition on health status in neonatal Holstein calves during the pre-weaning period. Materials and methods: A total of 48 Holstein calves (3 d of age; 40. 1 ± 0. 84 kg of BW; mean ± SE) were assigned randomly to 1 of the 4 treatments: 1) calves fed low MR allowance (LOW; 4 L/d from d 1 to d 58, and 2 L/d from d 59 to d 60 of the study) and SFC containing starter feed without SBP (LOW-SFC), 2) calves fed low MR allowance and partial replacing SFC with SBP (25% of DM) in starter feed (LOW-SBP), 3) calves fed high MR allowance (HIGH; 4 L/d from d 1 to d 2, 6 L/d from d 3 to d 4, 8 L/d from d 5 to d 55, 6 L/d at d 56, 4 L/d from d 57 to d 58, and 2 L/d from d 59 to d 60 of the study) and SFC containing starter feed without BP (HIGH-SFC), and 4) calves fed high MR allowance and partial replacing SFC with BP (25% of DM) in starter feed (HIGH-SBP). The health criteria of the calves were monitored daily by a veterinarian, blinded to the treatments, during the preweaning period (d 1 to 60). Rectal temperature was recorded daily using a digital thermometer placed in the rectum for 1 min. The fecal and general appearance scores were determined daily based on a 1 to 5 system while calves were in individual pens. Results: Results showed that calves fed diets containing SBP vs. SFC had lower and higher chance to develop Pneumonia and Diarrhea, respectively. Plane of MR nutrition had no effect on developing Diarrhea, but calves fed higher plane of MR nutrition had higher chance to develop Pneumonia. General appearance (score ≥ 2), frequency and duration of Diarrhea or Pneumonia were not different among experimental groups; however, calves fed LOW-SBP experienced fewer days of higher rectal temperature compared with other experimental groups. Conclusion: Plane of MR nutrition had no effect on susceptibility to Diarrhea but calves fed higher plane of MR experienced more days with Pneumonia and medication. Feeding SBP increased and decreased chance of having Diarrhea and Pneumonia, respectively, which was coincided with more or few days with those diseases.
