Abstract
In expts. involving 34 3-day male calves from the 5 major dairy breeds, ad libitum feeding of an emulsified filled milk containing butyrated lard gave avg. daily gains of 216 lb. over an 8-wk. exptl. period. These gains, which averaged 241% of Morrison standards, were equal to those on whole milk and were significantly better than gains obtained on a filled milk containing lard. It appears that the short chain fatty acids are important for the calf and that such a butyrated lard filled milk can satisfactorily replace whole milk in the feeding of dairy calves .
