Effect of Complete Formula Feed on Weight Gain of Weaned Calves
For calves,earlier feed intake helps to increase feed intake and daily weight gain after weaning.The use of granular full-value compound feed can minimize the flatulence and nutritional diarrhea of calves caused by changes in diet.In this experiment,weaning calves were synthesized into full-priced compound feed by combining the calf pellet feed products commonly used in the market and the total mixed diet technology.While the full-priced compound feed ensures the stability of the calf diet,the product is easier to use,and it needs to be popularized in weaning calf feeding.The results show that it is feasible to use granular full-value compound feed for weaned calves.The complete formula feed group with protein content of 20%and starch content of 24.1%had an average daily weight gain of 860 g/head/day,slightly lower than the control group's average daily weight gain of weaned calves by 49 g/head/day.
