Twelve newborn Holstein bull calves were used to evaluate the effects of dietary abrasiveness, determined by a new method, on ruminal development. Calves were blocked by age and body weight and were assigned to one of three different diets. Each diet had the same ingredients but different particle sizes, which resulted in different abrasive values. No differences were detected in molar percentages of volatile fatty acids in ruminal fluid or in plasma concentrations of urea, glucose, or beta… CONTINUE READING
