Studies in the Growth and Nutrition of Dairy Calves

V. Milk as the Sole Ration for Calves

Dairy Husbandry Section, Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Ames, Iowa

ABSTRACT

From the evidence obtained in this work the following factors may be looked on as possible causes of milk being unable to supply all the nutritional wants of calves after they are a few weeks old.

1. The lack of bulk may arrest the development of the alimentary tract and prevent the proper digestion of the nutrients supplied by the milk.
   
2. Excessive consumption of salt, due to depraved appetite, or to an attempt on the part of the calves to correct nutritive disturbances, may have led to some of the disturbances noted.
   
3. The vitamines, water-soluble B and water-soluble C, may have been present in insufficient amounts and this may have induced the death of the calves.
