Effect of supplemental water source on performance of calves during milk feeding and their cross sucking after weaning

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this work was to evaluate effects of water receiving method on the growth, feed intake, health condition, and social behaviour of calves. 62 calves were reared in hutches from the 2nd day to weaning at the age of 8 weeks. Calves received colostrum and mothers milk ad libitum 3 times a day from a bucket with nipple, from the second to fourth day. From the fifth day they received 6 kg of milk replacer per day divided into 2 portions in 12 h intervals. From the second day until weaning the calves were offered concentrate mixture and alfalfa hay ad libitum. All calves were divided according to the water delivery into 3 groups - nipple sucking from bucket (N), drinking from bucket (B), and without water delivery (WW). We did not found significant (p≤0.05) differences among groups in the average daily gains (N 0.46±0.13 kg, B 0.43±0.12 kg, WW 0.43±0.10 kg,). The N group drank up more water to weaning than the B group (69.39±66.91 kg vs. 50.72±51.95 kg, p≤0.05), and group N had the highest intake of starter mixture (N 14.43±8.82 kg, B 11.30±5.45 kg, WW 13.31±6.86 kg, p≤0.05). The highest alfalfa hay consumption was found in group WW (N 21.34±6.91 kg, B 22.26±7.52 kg, WW 23.59±8.76 kg, p≤0.05). No calf died or was culled for health problems; no water delivery effects for blood measurements were found, neither. We did not find significant differences between groups in the cross-sucking after weaning. The acceptance to be sucked was significantly higher in calves from the group N (N 10.50±0.77, B 5.10±0.80, WW 5.25±0.80, p≤0.001). However, we cannot recommend to partly substituting the water with the milk replacer. Drinking water has simply to always be available.
