Veal calf waste characteristics

Agricultural Wastes, 1983
Abstract Effluent samples obtained from five veal operations in northern California over a 12-week period were chemically analyzed. Total Solids produced per day per livestock weight were about 20% of that estimated for beef feeders. The percentages of Volatile Solids and N, P, K nutrients were also considerably lower but the aerobic biodegradability

The dietary electrolyte balance in veal calf nutrition

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 1990
ZusammenfassungDer Einfluß von Kationen‐Anionen (Im)Balancen beim Mastkalb96 rotweiße männliche Mastkälber erhielten nach 2‐wöchiger Fütterung mit einem Starterfutter 5 verschiedene Rationen. Dabei wurden zu einer Kontrolldiät NaHCO3 (1,15%), KHCO3 (1,36%), (NH4)2SO4 (0,86%) oder NH4Cl (0,73%) zugesetzt.

Veal Calf Waste Production and Composition

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1989
Volume and composition of fresh waste were deter-mined from 12 newborn male Holstein veal calves during a 14-week trial. Total waste (feces and urine) was collected daily from beneath the slatted floors of each individual wooden calf pen, weighed, and a subsample obtained for analysis. Daily composite aliquots of fresh waste from all calves were placed

Veal calf health on the day of arrival at growers in Ohio

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Veal calves are at high risk for disease and mortality in early life. Calves face a number of stressors before arriving at the grower, including long transport times, which may contribute to poor health. Our objectives were to 1) estimate the prevalence of poor health outcomes in veal calves on arrival at growers in Ohio; 2) determine risk factors for ...

Methanol-fermentation protein in veal calf nutrition

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1976
Abstract In an experiment with 4 × 12 male veal calves, the influence of 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% ICI protein and sweet whey powder in a milk replacer on growth; feed efficiency; blood concentrations of urea, uric acid and allantoin; and on the iron status, colour of the meat and carcass grade of the animals was investigated.
