Hello, this is Gabriella Varga
And today we will talk about calf nutrition management from the time
the calf is born to being weaned off of milk
Calf health, growth, and
productivity rely heavily on nutrition and management practices
Every heifer calf born on a dairy farm represents an opportunity to maintain or
increase herd size, to improve the herd genetically, or
to improve economic returns to the farm
The objectives of raising the newborn calf to weaning age are optimizing growth and
minimizing health problems
In this video, we will discuss the development of the calf's digestive
system, learn how important colostrum is for
the immune system, and the nutrients the calf needs to be healthy and grow well
From birth to about two weeks of age, the calf is a monogastric, or
a simple-stomached animal
The abomasum is the only stomach compartment actively involved in
digestion, and milk or milk replacer provides the main nutrients for the calf
Let's first get acquainted with the calf's anatomy
At birth,
the calf's stomach contains the same four compartments found in adult ruminants
However, the calves reticulum, rumen, and omasum are inactive and undeveloped
The newborn's functional stomach, the abomasum is similar to a human stomach
The objective of calf nutrition is to promote rumen development early in life so
that the calf becomes efficient in the absorption of nutrients and
has a much smoother transition at weaning
So let's start at the beginning of the the calf's life, and
talk about how the calf can digest nutrients, such as those that are in milk
At birth, the rumen has little tissue development and
lacks a population of microorganisms
The calf depends mainly on its digestive enzymes,
released primarily from the abomasum and small intestine,
that help bring down the fats, non-fiber carbohydrates and protein
In the young calf, some liquids can bypass the rumen, and
flow directly to the abomasum through the esophageal groove
Trang 2Calves are initially fed colostrum,
their mother's first milk after calving, for about three days after birth
Within ten minutes, a liquid forms a clot in the abomasum due to enzymes and hydrochloric acid acting on casein and fat in the milk
Clotting binds much of the casein and fat into a clump, or a curd,
to be digested slowly by stomach enzymes over a period of 12 to 18 hours
Curd development allows for limited meal feeding of calves,
compared to other continuous nursing species
The fraction of milk that does not form a curd is called whey
Whey is composed of water, minerals, lactose,
and other proteins, specifically, immunoglobulins
Whey passes directly into the small intestine for
absorption and/or digestion within ten minutes after feeding
From the small intestine,
immunoglobulins can be absorbed into the calf's bloodstream
We will discuss the importance of immunoglobulins for
the calf in more detail later
The lining of the rumen wall in an adult cow
has very pronounced covering of papillae
These papillae are finger-like projections that greatly increase
the rumen surface area, the area through which nutrients can be absorbed
Within a few days of birth, the calf's rumen becomes populated with microbes from feed, the environment in a cow
The papillae development is stimulated by the end products of
microbial fermentation
Specifically butyric acid and to a lesser extent propionic acid
There are two separate components to rumen development
The first is the physical size of the organ
By four weeks of age, if the calf is fed only milk, or
milk replacer, the rumen will be quite small
As milk, or milk replacer, is fed in increasing amounts, the abomasum grows in size, but the rumen remains proportionally small and grows only moderately The longer a calf is fed large amounts of liquid feed,
the greater the restriction on rumen growth relative to the size of the calf
Lack of rumen development causes a slump in growth rates after weaning
The second aspect of rumen development is the elongation
of those rumen papillae and the thickening of rumen walls
Feeding management can drastically affect their development
A calf fed grain, in addition to milk, shows a great deal more papillae
development and a much thicker, darker, and a more vascularized rumen wall Now, compare a third calf fed milk and good quality hay from three days of age Despite eating moderate amounts of hay,
the papillae are not developed at all and the rumen wall is quite thin
This is because the digestion end-products of hay include more acetic acid,
which rumen walls do not use for papillae growth and development
Calves with access to large amounts of roughage will have
Trang 3a considerable increase on rumen size
However, this is due largely to stretching,
not real growth of the rumen tissue
Feeding calves the correct amount of high-quality colostrum
immediately after birth, plays a critical role in the health of the calf
Colostrum, defined as milk removed from the mammary gland in
the first 24 hours after birth, contains immunoglobulins that,
when absorbed by the calf's gut, helps the calf to resist disease challenges Calves that receive adequate amounts and quality of colostrum,
grow better and are much healthier
The immunoglobulins found in colostrum are large proteins
Calves have openings in the small intestine to accommodate the proteins absorptions, but these openings close shortly after birth
Three types of immunoglobulins can be found in colostrum
Immunoglobulin G makes up 70 to 80% of the immunoglobulins,
and helps identify and destroy invading pathogens
Immunoglobulin M comprises 10 to 15% of immunoglobulins, and
serves as the first line of defense against infection
And then finally, immunoglobulin A comprises the remaining 15% of
immunoglobulins in colostrum, and protects the mucosal surfaces,
such as the intestine, from invasive pathogenic bacteria
Colostrum also contains vitamins, minerals, energy, and
proteins needed for calf metabolism, growth, and for
additional stimulation of the calf's immune system
To make sure that the calf receives immunity from the dam,
colostrum management should focus on three factors immediately after birth How soon, how much, and the quality of the colostrum
Colostrum should be fed within one hour after birth
Approximately 35% of ingested immunoglobulins can be absorbed when calves are fed colostrum immediately after birth
But this declines to less than 5% absorption of
immunoglobulins when calves are fed 20 hours after birth
Feed Colostrum at a rate of 12 to 15% of the calf's body weight
Large breed calves, such as Holsteins weighing more than 90 pounds at birth, can be fed four quarts at birth
Feed calves weighing between 50 and 90 pounds,
such as Jerseys, three quarts at birth
If possible, feed an additional two quarts to all calves 12 hours after birth
Do not allow calves to suckle the dam to obtain colostrum
Although, suckling does enhance absorption,
research has demonstrated that 25 to 40% of calves left with the dam
will not ingest enough colostrum to attain adequate levels of passive immunity Use high-quality colostrum
Colostrum should have more than 50 grams per liter of immunoglobulins, this equates to the green reading on a colostrometer
A colostrometer measures the specific gravity of colostrum prior to feeding
Trang 4The quality of colostrum is determined by the amount
If a cow produces more than 18 pounds of colostrum,
the odds are less than 50% that it will contain sufficient immunoglobulins
Dry period length
If a cow has a dry period of less than 45 days, often have poor quality colostrum,
as well as those animals that experienced poor nutrition or
heat stress during the dry period
The breed
Holsteins have poorer quality colostrum than other breeds
Colostrum from Holsteins typically are lower in immunoglobulins than colostrum
from Jersey cows
And then, the age of the cow
Older cows tend to have more immunoglobulins than first calf heifers,
as they have been exposed to a greater number of pathogens

After a few days of colostrum feeding,
there are several liquid feeding options available
These include whole milk, milk replacers, waste milk, and
fresh or fermented colostrum
Any of these are excellent feed sources when available and
if it fits into the calf raising program
Whole milk can be the primary liquid feed for calves, if it were dried whole milk
would contain 29 to 30% fat, 25 to 26% protein
Whole milk will supply ample protein and energy for calves,
if one to two pounds is fed for every ten to twelve pounds of body weight
Trang 5However, due to its composition,
whole milk may be deficient in trace minerals and vitamins
This can be remedied by feeding a quality calf starter
in addition to liquid feeding
There are many excellent milking places available for calves
Protein levels in milk replacers typically range from 18 to 22 percent
New formulations designed for
intensive feeding programs contain 28 to 30 percent protein
The main sources of energy in milk replacers are lactose and fat
Lactose is the best source of carbohydrates, and
milk replacers generally contain 40 to 50% lactose
Fat sources in milk replacers include lard, tallow,
stabilized greases, and hydrogenated vegetable oil
Higher fat levels in milk replacers may decrease prevalence of scours
Fat levels vary from 10 to 22 percent in milk replacers and in general
So what do milk replacer with twenty percent fat?
Additional information on methods of calf feeding, colostrum quality and storage and liquid feeding options can be found in the reading material for this lecture
Calf managers should introduce dry feeds and
water to calves within 3 to 4 days of birth
Feeding a commercial calf starter, or one mixed on the farm,
stimulates early rumen function and development, allows for earlier weaning,
and supplements the nutrition provided by the liquid feeding program
Two starters that contain between 18 and 20% food protein
And when selecting a calf starter, consider the following
Physical form select whole coarsely ground cracked crushed roll steamed or
flaked textured grains
The pallet quality, avoid pellets that are too hard or too soft
Pallets at both extremes will affect intake and avoid fine particles
And then consider molasses or molasses based products
Which should be included at between 5 and 8% of the total mixture
Begin offering starter at three days of age
Calves should be eating some starter by five to seven days of age
By the second week, calves should be consuming
0.25 to 0.5 pounds per day at three weeks of age
If free choice water is available calves will often double there dry
feed intake which coincides with a much more active vermin
Water is critical nutrient for calves and
should be offered beginning at 3-4 days of age
In order to digest feed rumen bacteria must have water
Milk and milk replacer do not qualify as water since they bypass the rumen
Calves should consume 8-10 quarts of water per day at weaning
Weaning age varies from 4 to 8 weeks of age depending
on liquid feeding strategies
Age, however, is not the primary criteria for weaning a calf
Weaning decisions should be based on the dry feed intake of the calf
Trang 6When a calf consumes 1.3% to 1.5% of it's body weight as fry feed, it
is consuming enough nutrients to maintain it's weight, and grow without liquid feed For large breed calves this translates to weaning when the calf consumes 2 to
2.5 pounds of calf starter per day
For three consecutive days
For healthy calves, reduce liquid feed consumption by 50% per
day one week prior to desired weaning date to stimulate starter intake
Once weaned, keep calves in individual housing for
approximately 7 to 14 days to observe calf health and feed intake
Do not attempt to wean calves less than four weeks old
After weaned from liquid feeds, calves should quickly consume between four and five pounds of calf starter daily
Calves may be moved to group housing at seven to eight weeks of age, or
one to two weeks after weaning
During the first two to three weeks of group housing,
try to keep the ration the same as before weaning
Post-weaning groups of four to six calves are preferable for
one to two months after weaning
With good management, groups of eight to ten can work as well
After weaning, begin incorporating good quality hay into the diet
The general recommendation would be to wean calves at 5 to 8 weeks of age, and offer hay starting at week 8
Forage is important at promoting growth of the muscular layer of the rumen and maintaining the health of the rumen epithelium
Although research has shown that calves consume forages prior to weaning,
forages are not necessary until a time when a calf consumes four to
five pounds of high quality starter, which is typically after weaning
Monitor starter consumption to ensure that hay is not being overeaten
Fermented forages can be fed to calves
But it is not recommended for calves less than three months of age
Proper feeding and care of young calves is the first step in raising healthy,
productive replacement animals to enter the milking herd
So in summary, feed four quarts of high-quality colostrum within the first
six hours to provide calves with essential nutrients and antibodies
Match milk replacer to growth and weaning age goals to meet the calves' needs, and
to balance feed costs and animal performance
Offer a palatable calf starter by three days of age to
stimulate rumen development and allow weaning by four to six weeks of age Provide calves with a clean, dry, draft-free housing that protects them from
harsh sun in the summer and cold winds in the winter
From three days of age, make fresh, clean, free-choice water available, and
then work with your veterinarian to ensure that calves receive adequate vaccinations
Hello, my name is Gabriella Varga and I am Professor of Animal Science
In this video we will be discussing the importance of heifer nutrition and
management from weaning to breeding
Trang 7We will discuss critical phases of growth for the dairy heifer, the importance of good facilities, and how nutrition plays an important role in getting a healthy,
well grown heifer, ready to be bred, and prepared to have her first calf
A number of factors go into meeting these goals
The first of which is that Heifers must get off to a good start as calves
That means good colostrum management and disease control
We mentioned in our previous video that rumen development is critical
So calves must be provided a good, palatable calf starter and
have access to fresh water
Calves should be weaned after they have consumed two pounds of grain per day for three consecutive days
Holstein heifers should grow 1.7 to 1.9 lbs per
day before puberty, and should reach 85 to 90% of mature body
weight by calving, or a minimum of 1250 lbs,
to be able to achieve optimal first lactation milk production
Age at first calving should be between 22 and
24 months of age to minimize heifer raising costs and
to maximize their production during the first lactation
However, it is important to emphasize that heifers need to grow in height,
not just weight, because height is correlated with their frame size, and
can really impact risk for calving difficulties
Therefore, heifers should reach a height at the withers between 51 to 55 inches prior to calving
After weaning, heifers really should be grouped by weight, not by age
During this time it is important to monitor body weights, heights,
and body condition scores
Weights obtained with a body weight tape around the heart girth
are reasonably accurate
A body condition score of 3 on a 5 point scale is ideal
Heifers at this age and
size should not have a lot of extra flesh around the rump area
As indicated earlier, a good rate of growth for weaning to breeding
is over two pounds per day for the holstein or similarly sized breeds
Let's look at some opportunities on the farm that will help make the transition
better for the heifer after weaning
The following practices can really help reduce the stress placed on these heifers during and after the weaning period
A small-group housing facility for three to five calves should be used for
at least a month immediately after the postweaning period
This postweaning area should be similar in housing type and
environment compared to the grow out facility and located in a similar area
This allows for regular feeding and
observation of the two to three month old group, while feeding those younger calves Large super hutches, located adjacent to the calf hutch area, or
an open-front shed with an outside yard adjacent to the calf hutch area,
can be used in conjunction with small hutches
Trang 8Building with inside individual pens should also provide for
a group pen at least 12 by 12 feet for three to five calves
Pens should always have a continuous supply of frost-free water
At least 18 inches of bunk space should be provided for
each calf, with stanchions or dividers to define the eating positions
When weaning time arrives the liquid feed portion of the young calves' diet
is reduced
It is necessary to provide them a free choice grain mixture and
an ample supply of high quality forage
To reduce the stress associated with weaning, calf starter is generally fed for two to three weeks after weaning
After weaning,
we should see calves with starter intakes between five to six pounds per day And this is the time we begin to feed a good quality forage
Feed free choice high quality second or
third cutting mixed hay that is fine stemmed and mold free
This can be a good quality grass or alfalfa or a mixture of these two
Silage and pasture have generally not been recommended for
calves less than 400 pounds because it has been thought that the calf
cannot readily consume enough dry matter, in the form of wet forage
High quality forage can comprise a significant amount
of the energy needed by the young heifer
Grasses containing 14 to 16% crude protein,
and no more than 60% neutral detergent fiber can make up a significant part
of the heifer's diet before breeding, so long as that fiber is fairly digestible
Corn silage can also make a portion of the heifer's diet, but the amount of grain fed will depend very much upon the age of the animal and the forage quality
Total mixed rations can also be fed to heifers after two months of age
Feeding complete rations encourages the heifers to consume
several small meals during the day, and
leads to better digestion of feed and utilization of that feed
The advantages of total mixed rations for these heifers are that
all the needed ingredients are in the desired proportions
Time and labor are reduced
And competition among animals is minimized
The young heifer from weaning to six months of age is not capable of consuming and fermenting large quantities of feed and forage, and
therefore does not produce large amounts of rumen microbial protein
Therefore, at this age, protein is a nutrient that limits growth
Heifers requires specific amount of protein daily
And for heifers, total protein has been shown to the equally as important
as the various protein fractions
So we want to balance primarily for crude and soluble protein
14 to 15% crude protein for heifers before puberty
based on a 2.15% body weight dry matter intake per day
About 13 to 14% crude protein after puberty for
Trang 9heifers based on 1.65% body weight dry matter intake per day
Maintain the ration at least at 30 to 35% soluble protein
Rumen undegradable crude protein levels in excess of 25 to 30% are not required Use feed sources based on price and availability
And not feed specifically designed for high bypass protein
Young heifers with small rumen will respond with lean tissue growth
when they are fed a blend of high-quality protein sources
Protein sources could be a blend of processed soybeans,
canola, corn proteins, and animal proteins
It should be noted that large amounts of high-protein grasses or legumes
containing a lot of soluble protein and degradable protein are not recommended
If such forages make up a large portion of the diets,
the heifer will not utilize all this protein
And it will be wasted, and growth rates will not be optimal
Heifers should be supplemented for vitamins and minerals according to their
needs based on the National Research Committee requirements
Examples of diets for heifers from weaning
to post-breeding age are provided in the supplemental reading for this video
From six months to breeding,
forages usually make up the majority of the ration
Grain is supplemented to balance the ration for
the desired amount of daily gain
Corn silage should be limited to no more than 50% of forage intake
Excess energy during this period can hinder mammary development and
ultimately decrease the potential for milk production
From breeding to calving forages should be maximized in the ration
Feeding only enough concentrates to meet the animal's requirements
Heifers should be started on the dry cow diet approximately 60 days prior to
freshening
Specific information on feeding heifers prior to calving is provided in
the second dry cow video
The energy requirement of the heifer will be influenced by the size, growth rate and environment of the heifer
There are two feeding strategies to meet the energy requirements of
growing dairy heifers
First, diets can be formulated at variable energy densities and
fed free choice to allow the heifer to select her energy consumption
In the second strategy, heifers' diets can be formulated at a fixed,
generally higher energy content and
precision-fed to specifically meet the heifers' energy requirement
Regardless of feeding strategy, heifers should be fed to allow for
1.75 to 2 pounds of average daily gain or
approximately 130 kilocalories of metabolizable
energy per pound of metabolic weight
During the time around puberty between 550 and 650 pounds for
Trang 10large breeds, it is critical that heifers are not over fed energy
The growth rate of the mammary system before puberty is much faster
than the growth rate of the body and the size of the mammary gland and
the ducts in the gland actually increase in size at this time
Therefore, excessive energy intake prior to puberty can have
a negative effect on the mammary system and decreased subsequent milk production For large breed heifers, the optimum calving age is 22 to 24 months
Smaller breeds that mature faster such as Jerseys, Airsures,
and Guranses can successfully calve at 22 to 23 months of age
Production data research suggests calving heifers at 23 to 24
months of age is optimal for first lactation milk yields
Dairy replacement heifers do have the potential
to calf at 19 to 20 months of age, which can lower raising costs
However, heifers calving at young ages may experience calving difficulties,
metabolic disorder, and
have inconsistent lactation performance, which can really limit lifetime profit
Calving dairy heifers at ages younger than 22 to 24 months
is possible but requires intensive management programs
Hitting target body weights at calving is important,
as it helps reduce calving difficulties and
supports high levels of feed intake and milk production after calving
For Holsteins, a post-calving weight of 1,250 pounds is ideal
This table shows target body weights for
various breeds at different ages at first calving
So in conclusion, in this video we discussed the critical phases of
the growth of the heifer, the importance of good facilities and
how nutrition plays an important role in getting a healthy well-grown
heifer ready to be bred and prepare to have her first calf
Hello, my name is Gabriella Varga, and
I'm a professor of animal science from Pennsylvania State University
We will be discussing feeding and
management of the dairy cow prior to calving
In this first video, we will focus on the management and
general needs of the pregnant, non-lactating cow prior to calving
Proper management and nutrition of the dairy cow transitioning into lactation is very important for obtaining a healthy calf, increased reproductive efficiency
and optimal milk production in the following lactation
These can be achieved by feeding balanced diets, providing good cow comfort and insuring the cow is in good body condition before and after she calves
We'll spend more time later discussing the importance of good body condition During the last six weeks before she stops lactating and gets ready to have her calf,
it is very important that the dairy cow is fed to meet her nutrient needs for
the level of milk produced
The producer does not want the cow to gain body condition during
the end of her lactation that will get her too fat
Trang 11We try off the cow 50 to 60 days prior to calving to cause or
to switch nutrient use for milk production to growth of the calf within the uterus The fetus grows more during the last three months of gestation than any other time
So therefore, all extra nutrients the cow consumes during the dry period
above her maintenance requirements go towards growth of the fetus
A dry cow's nutritional needs are generally much lower than a lactating cow
because she's not using nutrients to maintain milk production
The veterinarian and nutritionist help the producer in
assessing the body condition of their cows, are they too fat?
Are they too thin?
For example
Body condition score is a subjective measure of subcutaneous
fat thickness, and a reflection of energy reserves
When cows are to be dried off, so they stop lactating, they should be between
a body condition score of 3.25 to three five on a scale of one to five
One being very thin, and five, extremely fat
This next illustration shows a spectrum of condition scores of cows and
how cows can lose weight, and also gain weight
Cows with proper body condition are less likely to have problems of calving
The goal is for cows not to lose more than one condition score after calving
Penn State and Cornell researches have demonstrated that cows with
body condition greater than 3.25 prepartem have greater risk of ketosis and
produce two to five pounds per day less milk the first three days of
milk than cows with a body condition score less than 3.25
Feed intake of most cows decreases seven to ten days before calving
Dry cows can be expected to have daily dry matter intake
equal to 2 to 2.2% of their body weight
Therefore a 1350 cow would consume 27 to 37 pounds of dry matter each day However, cows that are over conditioned before they cab eat less before and
after calving with feed intake dropping sooner to a greater extent
before calving then optimally body conditions house ready to calve
As a result, fatter cows mobilize body fat to a greater extent
compared to cows where feed intake is not compromised as greatly before calving This greater mobilization of body fat causes excessive fat
to accumulate in the liver of these cows, which further compromises
the liver's ability to make glucose to support milk production
Thus, these cows have a higher likelihood of developing fatty liver and
then develop other diseases that might compromise their health after calving
It is recommended that cows be managed to modify body condition later in lactation and achieve the desired calving body condition score at that time,
rather than during the dry period
If cows are becoming too heavy in late lactation,
the energy content of the diet should be reduced at that time
Dry cows should be housed in an area where they can be observed easily and
moved to the maternity pen when presenting signs of calving
Dry cows need a minimum of 24 inches of feed bump space per cow, but
Trang 12preferably 30 inches
When feed bunk space is limiting, cows eat less dry matter or eat larger and
fewer meals
Therefore, stocking density is recommended to be no greater than 80 to 85%
During this time frame cows naturally have a lower immune function and
are more susceptible to infection such as mastitis and neuritis
Limiting the resting space increases the time cows spend standing and predisposes them to hoof issues and increased incidence of lameness after calving
To reduce stress, stocking rates should be near 80% of the capacity of
free stall barns, with a minimum of 100 square feet recommended per cow,
and 120 square feet for the maternity pen
Heifers compete better with other heifers and have higher dry matter intakes and longer resting times when housed separately from mature cows
This may be in facilities such as a bedded pack, free stall, and out on pasture
Cows are social creatures and establish a social hierarchy of boss and
subordinate calves
Minimize the number of pen movements or addition of cows to the group
to minimize the amount of social upheaval that occurs with these new additions
If herd size allows Cows should remain in the same
group throughout the last 30 days prior to calving
For herds where this is not possible, new cows should be added
no more frequently than once weekly to the close-up dry cow group
It has been shown in research trials that dry cows benefit from good heat
abatement management
Heat stress decreases feed in take and results in greater metabolic disease and
lower milk production therefore providing fans and
sprinklers to cool cows is critical during the dry period
Water quality and availability is critical for all cows
Generally, four to five pounds of water ar required per pound of dry matter consumed
On average, dry cows require about 13 to 15 gallons of water per day
There are many strategies that work for feeding dry cows
Whether it is a high fiber diet that is low in energy with hay or straw
The goal should always be to provide high quality feed sources,
consistent availability of feed, adequate bunk space, and a comfortable environment
In our next video, we will discuss in more detail specifics of feeding dry cows
So in conclusion, for optimal management of the dry cow,
make sure cows are in proper body condition before dry-off
Manage cows so no more than 10% are too fat or too thin
Fat cows eat less, produce less milk the first 30 days in milk, and
have greater health problems, and generally take longer to breed back
Make sure cows are comfortable
Provide a minimum of 100 square foot per cow, or
11 square meters per cow in dry cow and calving areas
Provide a minimum of 24 inches per cow of bunk space
30 inches per cow is best
Provide adequate high quality water
Trang 13Good quality forages, and feeds to ensure cow eat well
Thank you for listening to this discussion on dry cow management
Our next video in this series will focus on the nutritional needs of the dry cow
Hello again, this video continues our discussion on management of the dairy cow
We will focus on the nutritional needs of the pregnant, non-lactating cow
There are many feeding strategies that would work for feeding dry cows,
however the goal should always be to provide high quality feed sources,
consistent availability of feed, adequate bunk space, and a comfortable environment Dry cows may be fed in two or one group feeding system
What is a two group system?
It's the most common dry cow program
The dry period is 60 days in length, and
the cows are split into a far-off group, 60 to 21 days prior to calving
And a close-up group, 21 days to calving
And the diet is formulated specifically for each group
So how are far-off cows fed?
Well, the diet to these cows will consist primarily of forages such as corn silage, straw, grass, hay, and some combination of silage
Diets fed to the far-off group can be of lower energy density than
those given to the close-up group, because we are trying to control
the level of energy supplied, in order to prevent the cows from getting too fat
So what is best for a close-up group?
The goal of this phase is to increase the nutrient density of the diet
to prepare the cows for lactation
This diet has an energy level intermediate between that
of the far off dry cow diet, and the fresh cow lactating
diet approximately 0.7 Mcal of NE/lb of dry matter
The advantages of this feeding program are,
to improve energy balance and liver function around the time of calving
To aid the rumen in adaptation to the lactating diet, and
to provide adequate energy as dry matter intake decreases prior to calving
However it does mean that cows have to move more often from pen to pen,
more rations have to be mixed increasing labor and feed costs, and
may overfeed energy and provide less rumen fill at calving
So that's the two group system, what is a one group system?
Well, cows are all housed as one group, fed the same diet for
the whole length of the dry period
Much of the focus in close-up rations
has centered on the energy density of the diets
According to the 2001 Dairy Nutrient Requirement for
dairy cattle, a 1,500 pound cow in the last few weeks prior to calving
would only require 15 Mcal of NE/L per day
If that cow consumes 28 pounds of dry matter,
the energy density of the ration would only
need to be 0.53 Mcal of NEL lactation per pound of dry matter
Trang 14By not feeding energy in excess of requirements, it is thought that the cow will be at lower risk for the development of metabolic diseases post calving Advantages of a one group dry cow system
The number of times cow moves are reduced every time a cow is moved,
she will be stressed especially over her new pen mates
This stress can reduce intake, cause more metabolic problems, and
elevate fat mobilization
This eliminates the problem of early calving cows being moved from one
pen to another, and put into a close-up diet only a week prior to calving
It also reduces the number of ration changes and mixes, and
this lower in cost when cow's transition from the dry period to the milking ration,
it is a low energy diet
0.6 metcals, NEL per pound of dry matter,
provides room and fill around the time of calving
However, because of higher fiber may be less palatable,
especially if poor quality forages were fed and or, because of straw usage
Straw or dry hay must be processed to less than two inches in length or
sorting will occur resulting in poor cow performance
In addition, feeding a low potassium and calcium diet
will help to improve calcium homeostasis preventing hypocalcemia
The bottom like for feeding dry cows, either one of these feeding systems
can work depending on the management of the farm, and
will be determined primarily by availability of facilities and labor
How is the cow different in her nutrient needs when she's not lactating and pregnant, compared to when she is lactating?
Since the cow is not making milk,
she still has to maintain her normal nutritional needs
During the 60 days prior to calving,
her nutritional needs increase because she's carrying a calf
Therefore she needs to have adequate energy to supply glucose to the calf,
as well as her bodily functions
Protein is critical at this time as this nutrient is needed for
the calf to properly grow in utero, and for
the cow to prepare her mammary gland to start making milk
Vitamins and minerals are critical in all stages of the cow's life
However, prior to calving there are tremendous physiological demands on her body, especially for calcium for milk production, muscle tone,
and helping to expel the fetus
Now we will discuss in more detail, the major nutritional needs of the cow during the few months prior to having her calf
It's important to make sure that cows are comfortable, have adequate bunk space
to allow them to eat the nutrients they need on a daily basis
Cows reduce their intake seven to 10 days prior to calving, so it is critical
that they can eat all the nutrients they receive in their daily ration
The reason for the intake depression may include changes in hormonal status,
Trang 15ketones in the blood that increase as the cow begins to use body fat,
immune suppression, and perhaps, a large calf inside the cow
The nutrients that are important during the dry period
that we will discuss include energy, protein, and vitamins and minerals
We will start our discussion of the nutrient needs of the dry cow with energy
During the dry period,
the energy needs of the cow differ from those during lactation
The cow no longer needs energy to produce milk, however she still needs energy for maintenance, pregnancy, walking, and to maintain her body condition
There is a high nutritional demand for fetal growth
60% of the fetal growth occurs the last two months of gestation
If sufficient nutrients such as energy are not provided in the diet
in adequate amounts, they will be drawn from the cow's body
So we want to make sure there are adequate glucose precursors in the diet,
such as starch and sugar
When the cow's not lactating, she is eating about
half the amount of dry matter she would normally consume when she is lactating, therefore we really need to make sure that the energy density of the diet is adequate
to meet the needs of the growing microbes to make microbial protein
In addition, nutrients are needed to maintain
good growth, such that their absorptive capacity is
ready to meet the demands of the increase in dry matter intake after calving
We also have to remember that the gut tissues and
the liver are not working as hard during the dry period
So we need to make sure they are prepared to increase in size and
workload, prior to calving with adequate energy sources in the diet
Therefore including as many of the feed ingredients and the ration precalving,
as she will receive post calving will allow for the rumen bacteria, [INAUDIBLE],
to go through adaptation before the demand for milk production comes
This can be achieved in both of the feeding programs we discussed earlier
Energy concentration also needs to be higher for first calf
heifers because of their lower intakes and extra energy needed for growth
Dietary protein quality and
quantity are also important for the success of the dry cow feeding program
Underfeeding protein may lead to suppressed immune function, and
decreased availability of carrier proteins needed for efficient metabolism
As the cow gets closer to calving, the calves needs for glucose and
amino acids also increase
If the cow is short on protein, she begins to mobilize muscle tissue and
we do not want to deplete her maternal protein reserves that she will need for
making milk
Protein are also important for good hormonal status
Total blood protein decreases as the cow approaches calving
This is because the calf is taking more of the protein, and
at the same time the cow is eating less
The high demand for glucose at the initiation of lactation
Trang 16cause another wrinkle in the cow's protein status
Thus her body's protein in the form of skeletal muscle, is mobilized for
glucose production
Therefore, good quality protein sources that provide the essential amino acid
needs of the cow, are critical in the dry cow feeding program
Heifers require more crude protein in the diet than mature cows
This is due to the lower feed intakes,
and higher protein requirements to accommodate their growth
Although it appears that cows could be fed diets with less than 12% crude protein, for the majority of the pre fresh transition period
This is not recommended since it is believed that 12% crude protein
is the minimum needed to maximize fiber digestion and
microbial protein synthesis in the rumen
Because the drop in feed intake accelerates as calving approaches,
the need for greater percentage crude protein in the diet also accelerates
So crude protein requirements for mammal development are not trivial, and
increase crude protein need in the diets by 1 to 2 percentage units
If cows and heifers are intermingled and fed the same diet prepartum,
the diet should be formulated to meet the needs of the heifers
If they are housed separately, then separate diets could be formulated for
each group
Considering additional requirements for mamic growth,
heifers need approximately a 1000 grams of metabolizable protein per day
This is the protein that is actually absorbed by the intestine of the cow
This is equivalent to 1400 grams of crude protein
Cows need approximately 860 grams of metabolizable protein per day
It is best to make measurements of dry matter intake on the farm so
that percentage crude protein in the diet can be calculated
Providing adequate amounts of minerals and vitamins to the dry cow
is necessary to minimize health problems around freshening time
Calcium, potassium, magnesium are critical in the prevention of many metabolic problems that occur after calving
Adequate amounts of calcium, selenium, vitamin a and e, iodine,
copper are necessary to prevent problems with the cow retaining her placenta
in her uterus after she gives birth
Copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamins A and
E all play a role improving a cow's immune response
Feeding adequate amounts of minerals and vitamins during the dry period is
necessary to give the cow the best chance to fight off many diseases
In an upcoming video, Doctor Van Saun will discuss metabolic diseases of dairy cows And nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals,
that help in the prevention of these diseases
In conclusion, for optimal nutrition of close-up dry cows, to benefit the health
of the cow and her calf, it is important to maximize dry matter intake,
minimize cow movements and overcrowding, provide adequate energy,
protein, vitamins and minerals and expose transition cows to
Trang 17the same feeds that she will receive in the lactating ration

Immunoglobulin - Được chuyển từ đập này là những protein lớn được tìm thấy trong sữa non,
rất quan trọng trong việc cung cấp khả năng miễn dịch khỏi bệnh tật

Xin chào, đây là Gabriella Varga
Và hôm nay chúng ta sẽ nói về việc quản lý dinh dưỡng cho bê từ khi
con bê được sinh ra để cai sữa
Sức khỏe của bê, sự phát triển và
Trang 26năng suất chủ yếu dựa vào dinh dưỡng và thực hành quản lý
Mỗi con bê lai sinh ra trong một trang trại bò sữa đại diện cho một cơ hội để duy trì hoặc
tăng quy mô đàn, để cải thiện đàn về mặt di truyền, hoặc
để cải thiện lợi nhuận kinh tế cho trang trại
Mục tiêu của việc nuôi bê con sơ sinh đến tuổi cai sữa là tối ưu hóa sự tăng trưởng và
giảm thiểu các vấn đề về sức khỏe
Trong video này, chúng ta sẽ thảo luận về sự phát triển tiêu hóa của bê con
hệ thống, tìm hiểu tầm quan trọng của sữa non đối với
hệ thống miễn dịch và các chất dinh dưỡng mà bê con cần để khỏe mạnh và phát triển tốt
Từ khi sinh ra đến khoảng hai tuần tuổi, bê con là dạ dày đơn, hoặc
một động vật dạ dày đơn giản
Bào tử là ngăn dạ dày duy nhất tham gia tích cực vào
tiêu hóa, và sữa hoặc chất thay thế sữa cung cấp các chất dinh dưỡng chính cho bê
Đầu tiên chúng ta hãy làm quen với giải phẫu của con bê
Luc sinh thanh,
dạ dày của bê có bốn ngăn giống như ở động vật nhai lại trưởng thành
Tuy nhiên, lưới của bê, dạ cỏ và omasum không hoạt động và không phát triển
Chức năng dạ dày của trẻ sơ sinh, abomasum tương tự như dạ dày của con người
Mục tiêu của chế độ dinh dưỡng cho bê là thúc đẩy sự phát triển dạ cỏ sớm trong cuộc sống để
để bê trở nên hiệu quả trong việc hấp thụ các chất dinh dưỡng và
có một quá trình chuyển đổi suôn sẻ hơn khi cai sữa
Vì vậy, hãy bắt đầu từ đầu cuộc đời của con bê, và
nói về cách con bê có thể tiêu hóa các chất dinh dưỡng, chẳng hạn như những chất có trong sữa
Trang 27Khi mới sinh, dạ cỏ có ít mô phát triển và
thiếu một quần thể vi sinh vật
Bê con phụ thuộc chủ yếu vào men tiêu hóa của nó,
được giải phóng chủ yếu từ dạ dày và ruột non,
giúp giảm chất béo, carbohydrate không chất xơ và protein
Ở bê non, một số chất lỏng có thể đi qua dạ cỏ, và
chảy trực tiếp đến khối u qua rãnh thực quản
Bê ban đầu được bú sữa non,
sữa mẹ đầu tiên sau khi đẻ, trong khoảng ba ngày sau khi sinh
Trong vòng mười phút, một chất lỏng hình thành cục máu đông trong abomasum do các enzym
và
axit clohiđric tác dụng với casein và chất béo trong sữa
Sự đông kết liên kết nhiều casein và chất béo thành một cục, hoặc sữa đông,
để được tiêu hóa chậm bởi các enzym dạ dày trong khoảng thời gian từ 12 đến 18 giờ
Sự phát triển sữa đông cho phép bê ăn bữa ăn hạn chế,
so với các loài ương liên tục khác
Phần sữa không tạo thành khối đông được gọi là váng sữa
Whey bao gồm nước, khoáng chất, lactose,
và các protein khác, cụ thể là các globulin miễn dịch
Whey đi trực tiếp vào ruột non để
hấp thụ và / hoặc tiêu hóa trong vòng mười phút sau khi cho ăn
Từ ruột non,
các globulin miễn dịch có thể được hấp thụ vào máu của bê
Chúng ta sẽ thảo luận về tầm quan trọng của các globulin miễn dịch đối với
Trang 28con bê chi tiết hơn sau
Lớp lót của thành dạ cỏ ở bò trưởng thành
có lớp nhú bao phủ rất rõ rệt
Những nhú này là những hình chiếu giống như ngón tay tăng lên rất nhiều
diện tích bề mặt dạ cỏ, khu vực mà chất dinh dưỡng có thể được hấp thụ
Trong vòng vài ngày sau khi sinh, dạ cỏ của bê con trở thành nơi chứa các vi khuẩn từ
thức ăn, môi trường ở bò
Sự phát triển nhú được kích thích bởi các sản phẩm cuối cùng của
lên men vi sinh vật
Cụ thể là axit butyric và ở mức độ thấp hơn là axit propionic
Có hai thành phần riêng biệt để phát triển dạ cỏ
Đầu tiên là kích thước vật lý của cơ quan
Đến bốn tuần tuổi, nếu bê con chỉ bú sữa, hoặc
sữa thay thế, dạ cỏ sẽ khá nhỏ
Khi sữa, hoặc chất thay thế sữa, được cho ăn với số lượng ngày càng tăng, abomasum phát triển trong
kích thước, nhưng dạ cỏ vẫn nhỏ theo tỷ lệ và chỉ phát triển vừa phải
Bê được cho ăn một lượng lớn thức ăn lỏng càng lâu,
hạn chế tăng trưởng của dạ cỏ so với kích thước của bê càng lớn
Sự kém phát triển của dạ cỏ làm giảm tốc độ tăng trưởng sau cai sữa
Khía cạnh thứ hai của sự phát triển dạ cỏ là sự kéo dài
của những nhú dạ cỏ và sự dày lên của các bức tường dạ cỏ
Quản lý cho ăn có thể ảnh hưởng đáng kể đến sự phát triển của chúng
Một con bê ăn ngũ cốc, ngoài sữa, cho thấy nhiều nhú hơn
Trang 29phát triển và thành dạ cỏ dày hơn, sẫm màu hơn và nhiều mạch hơn
Bây giờ, hãy so sánh một con bê thứ ba bú sữa và cỏ khô chất lượng tốt từ ba ngày tuổi
Mặc dù ăn một lượng cỏ khô vừa phải,
các mầm nhú hoàn toàn không phát triển và thành dạ cỏ khá mỏng
Điều này là do các sản phẩm cuối cùng của quá trình tiêu hóa cỏ khô bao gồm nhiều axit axetic hơn,
mà thành dạ cỏ không sử dụng cho sự sinh trưởng và phát triển của nhú
Bê được tiếp cận với lượng lớn thức ăn thô sẽ có
sự gia tăng đáng kể về kích thước dạ cỏ
Tuy nhiên, điều này phần lớn là do kéo căng,
không thực sự phát triển của mô dạ cỏ
Cho bê con bú đúng lượng sữa non chất lượng cao
ngay sau khi sinh, đóng vai trò quan trọng đối với sức khỏe của bê con
Sữa non, được định nghĩa là sữa được lấy ra từ tuyến vú trong
24 giờ đầu tiên sau khi sinh, chứa các globulin miễn dịch,
khi được hấp thụ bởi ruột của bê, giúp bê chống lại các thách thức bệnh tật
Bê nhận đủ lượng và chất lượng sữa non,
phát triển tốt hơn và khỏe mạnh hơn nhiều
Các globulin miễn dịch được tìm thấy trong sữa non là các protein lớn
Bê có các lỗ mở trong ruột non để chứa protein
hấp thụ, nhưng những lỗ này đóng lại ngay sau khi sinh
Ba loại globulin miễn dịch có thể được tìm thấy trong sữa non
Immunoglobulin G chiếm 70 đến 80% các globulin miễn dịch,
và giúp xác định và tiêu diệt mầm bệnh xâm nhập
Trang 30Immunoglobulin M bao gồm 10 đến 15% các globulin miễn dịch, và đóng vai trò là tuyến phòng thủ đầu tiên chống lại nhiễm trùng
Và cuối cùng, immunoglobulin A bao gồm 15% còn lại
immunoglobulin trong sữa non, và bảo vệ bề mặt niêm mạc,
chẳng hạn như ruột, khỏi vi khuẩn gây bệnh xâm nhập
Sữa non cũng chứa các vitamin, khoáng chất, năng lượng và
protein cần thiết cho quá trình trao đổi chất, tăng trưởng của bê và kích thích bổ sung hệ thống miễn dịch của bê
Để đảm bảo rằng con bê được miễn nhiễm từ đập,
Việc quản lý sữa non cần tập trung vào 3 yếu tố ngay sau khi sinh Sữa non bao lâu, bao nhiêu và chất lượng
Nên cho trẻ bú sữa non trong vòng một giờ sau khi sinh
Khoảng 35% các globulin miễn dịch ăn vào có thể được hấp thụ khi
bê con được bú sữa non ngay sau khi sinh
Nhưng điều này giảm xuống dưới 5% sự hấp thụ
immunoglobulin khi bê được cho ăn 20 giờ sau khi sinh
Cho ăn sữa non với tỷ lệ 12 đến 15% trọng lượng cơ thể bê con
Bê giống lớn, chẳng hạn như Holsteins nặng hơn 90 pound khi mới sinh,
có thể được cho ăn bốn lít khi mới sinh
Cho bê có trọng lượng từ 50 đến 90 pound ăn,
chẳng hạn như Jerseys, ba lít khi mới sinh
Nếu có thể, hãy cho tất cả bê con ăn thêm 2 lít sau khi sinh 12 giờ Không cho bê con bú đập để lấy sữa non
Trang 31Mặc dù, bú sữa mẹ giúp tăng cường hấp thu,
nghiên cứu đã chứng minh rằng 25 đến 40% bê còn lại với đập
sẽ không ăn đủ sữa non để đạt được mức độ miễn dịch thụ động đầy đủ
Sử dụng sữa non chất lượng cao
Sữa non nên có hơn 50 gam mỗi lít globulin miễn dịch,
điều này tương đương với số đọc màu xanh lục trên máy đo màu
Máy đo khối lượng riêng của sữa non trước khi cho trẻ bú
Chất lượng của sữa non được quyết định bởi số lượng
Nếu một con bò tạo ra hơn 18 pound sữa non,
tỷ lệ thấp hơn 50% rằng nó sẽ chứa đủ các globulin miễn dịch
Độ dài thời kỳ khô
Nếu bò có thời gian cạn sữa dưới 45 ngày, thường có chất lượng sữa non kém,
cũng như những động vật có chế độ dinh dưỡng kém hoặc
stress nhiệt trong thời kỳ khô hạn
Con giống
Holstein có chất lượng sữa non kém hơn các giống khác
Sữa non từ Holstein thường có lượng immunoglobulin thấp hơn sữa non
từ bò Jersey
Và sau đó, tuổi của con bò
Những con bò cái già hơn có xu hướng có nhiều globulin miễn dịch hơn so với những con bò cái con đầu tiên,
vì chúng đã tiếp xúc với nhiều mầm bệnh hơn

Sau vài ngày bú sữa non,
có một số tùy chọn cho ăn lỏng có sẵn
Chúng bao gồm sữa nguyên chất, sữa thay thế, sữa thải và
sữa non tươi hoặc sữa non lên men
Bất kỳ nguồn nào trong số này đều là nguồn cấp dữ liệu tuyệt vời khi có sẵn và
nếu nó phù hợp với chương trình nuôi bê
Sữa nguyên kem có thể là thức ăn lỏng chính cho bê, nghé, nếu đó là sữa nguyên chất khô
sẽ chứa 29 đến 30% chất béo, 25 đến 26% protein
Sữa nguyên kem sẽ cung cấp lượng protein và năng lượng dồi dào cho bê,
nếu một đến hai pound được cho ăn cho mỗi mười đến mười hai pound trọng lượng cơ thể Tuy nhiên, do thành phần của nó,
sữa nguyên kem có thể thiếu khoáng vi lượng và vitamin
Điều này có thể được khắc phục bằng cách cho bê ăn khởi động chất lượng
ngoài việc cho ăn lỏng
Trang 33Có rất nhiều nơi vắt sữa tuyệt vời dành cho bê con
Mức protein trong các chất thay thế sữa thường dao động từ 18 đến 22 phần trăm
Các công thức mới được thiết kế cho
các chương trình cho ăn chuyên sâu chứa 28 đến 30 phần trăm protein
Các nguồn năng lượng chính trong sữa thay thế là lactose và chất béo
Lactose là nguồn cung cấp carbohydrate tốt nhất, và
Các chất thay thế sữa thường chứa 40 đến 50% lactose
Các nguồn chất béo trong chất thay thế sữa bao gồm mỡ lợn, mỡ động vật,
mỡ ổn định, và dầu thực vật hydro hóa
Hàm lượng chất béo cao hơn trong chất thay thế sữa có thể làm giảm tỷ lệ váng sữa Mức độ chất béo thay đổi từ 10 đến 22 phần trăm trong các chất thay thế sữa và nói chung Vậy sữa thay thế với 20% chất béo làm gì?
Thông tin bổ sung về các phương pháp nuôi dưỡng bê, chất lượng và bảo quản sữa non và Các lựa chọn cho ăn lỏng có thể được tìm thấy trong tài liệu đọc cho bài giảng này
Người quản lý bê nên giới thiệu thức ăn khô và
truyền nước cho bê trong vòng 3 đến 4 ngày sau khi sinh
Cho ăn một con bê thương phẩm mới bắt đầu hoặc một con hỗn hợp trong trang trại, kích thích chức năng và sự phát triển sớm của dạ cỏ, cho phép cai sữa sớm hơn,
và bổ sung dinh dưỡng do chương trình cho ăn lỏng cung cấp
Hai món khai vị chứa từ 18 đến 20% protein thực phẩm
Và khi chọn một con bê khởi động, hãy xem xét những điều sau
Hình thức vật lý chọn toàn bộ cuộn nghiền thô đã được nghiền thô, hấp hoặc
hạt kết cấu mảnh
