Abstract
Male Holstein calves (48) were fed to 6 weeks of age in a comparison of the following methods of feeding milk: open pail placed on floor, open pail elevated 10 in. off the floor, nipple pail, and nipple bottle. In 1 of 3 trials, pail-fed calves exhibited superior growth when compared to nipple fed calves; however, this difference was not noted in the 2 other trials.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
