To properly formulate diets, the ability to accurately estimate feed intake is critical as the amount of feed consumed will influence the amount of nutrients delivered to the animal. Inaccurate intake estimates may lead to under- or over-feeding of nutrients to the animal. Individual differences in equine forage intake are well-known, but predictive equations based on animal and nutritional factors are not comprehensive.

- This study compares the macronutrient profiles of three types of milk replacers (MR) and whole milk powder (WP) to understand their effects on metabolism and gut health in male Holstein calves.
- The calves were assigned to different treatment groups receiving high-fat, high-lactose, high-protein MR, or WP, with their milk intake, blood samples, and weight tracked over 28 days.
- Results showed that while digestibility of certain nutrients was similar across groups, calves on WP had lower dry matter digestibility and slower gastric emptying, indicating potential differences in how their bodies processed the milk.
