Calves with lower concentrations of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in their blood, have a greater risk of developing diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify SNP markers associated with passive immunity measures.

Dairy-origin beef accounts for a considerable proportion of the prime beef supply. Yet, the beef production potential of dairy bred calves is declining following years of single trait selection for attributes such as milk yield.

Exposing the risks associated with the administration of oral electrolyte solutions simultaneously in milk replacers and water in absence of access to drinking water.

Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) mitigates the severity of dehydration and metabolic acidosis in diarrheic calves, and this study determines the effects of ORS tonicity on water, mineral and acid–base balance.

Determining the effects of an increased plane of nutrition can help establish recommendations for feeding to increase measures of gain and animal health without compromising normal calf behavior.

Evaluation of differences between the supplementation or infusion of urea in rumen and/or abomasum on forage digestion, N metabolism, urea kinetics and ruminal urea transporters in cattle fed a low-quality tropical forage.

Comparison of the abomasal emptying rate by an acetaminophen absorption test in healthy and diarrhoeic calves fed with and without ORS.

This study reveals how the site of delivery in the gastrointestinal tract has implications on nitrogen utilization

In ruminants, optimizing N and protein efficiency is about minimizing losses of N in the rumen, and there are several roads to do so.

In this paper, the effect of a prototype concept for efficient production of organic beef from young cattle of dairy origin is presented.

Growth, feeding efficiency, carcass traits, and meat quality were examined in four cattle breeds differing by age at maturity and purpose of production.

The evaluation of the profitability of farm colostrum management and the definition of the optimal economic situations for given livestock systems and farm situations.

In cattle systems, many farmers utilize feeding models to estimate protein requirements. However, most models recognize the importance of urea nitrogen (N) recycling in the rumen, but not all account for it.

Reviewing the quantification and regulation of non-protein Nitrogen flux between the gastrointestinal tract and body of ruminants.

Study of the effects of water source on cattle production and behaviour, determineing the impact of selected constituents, and fecal contamination on water consumption.
