Embodiment

[0043] Calf experiment 1

[0044] This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of soluble mannooligosaccharide products to increase performance in calves. Performance parameters measured included body weight gain, milk replacer consumption and initial feed consumption. By measuring the effects of mannan oligosaccharides over a range of solubility, this study revealed that feeding calves according to the methods disclosed herein resulted in significant improvements in gastrointestinal health.

[0045] Eighty bull calves, each 2 to 5 days old, were sourced from Wisconsin and shipped to Eastern Missouri for processing according to standard receiving protocols. The next day, calves were assigned to experimental treatments and testing began.

[0046] Sixteen calves were assigned to five treatments, each provided with the same conventional milk replacer (Land O'Lakes Maxi-Care Plus), which contained 22% protein and 20% fat. Treatments for the two-week trial included: no man...

Abstract

Methods involve feeding ruminants a milk replacer, where the milk replacer comprises an amount of soluble mannan oligosaccharides. The ruminants may be calves, and may be between about 0 and about 6 weeks of age. In response to ingesting the milk replacer, the ruminants may increase a rate of weight gain.

Description

technical field [0001] Methods involving ruminant feed products and feeding such ruminant feed products are practiced. More specifically, embodiments provide methods of feeding milk substitutes with soluble mannooligosaccharides to ruminants, resulting in improved performance of the animals. Background technique [0002] Ruminants require adequate nutrition for healthy growth and development. Robust growth is especially important for certain species of ruminants, such as livestock, which are raised as commodities to provide food products including milk and meat. The length of time it takes an animal to mature, especially to gain weight, is an important factor in determining whether it is ready for milk production or market. Several feeding systems have been used to intensify the growth process in livestock from infancy, which may include various feeding techniques around the weaning period. These techniques may involve providing milk replacers to animals. Milk substitute...
