Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of protein source in milk replacer on nutrient digestion and rumen fermentation of early-weaner calves. Fifty(21±5)-day-old Chinese Holstein bull calves with similar body weight were randomly assigned to 5 groups with 10 calves each. The protein source of control group(MP group) was from milk protein. Calves in 4 experimental groups were fed with milk replacer whose protein contains 70% vegetable protein and 30% milk protein of crude protein(CP). Vegetable protein sources were soybean protein concentrate(SP), wheat gluten(WP), peanut protein concentrate(PP) and rice protein isolate(RP), respectively. The trial lasted for 42 d, and rumen fluid was collected at 28, 42 and 56 days of age; digestion trials were performed at 29 to 35 and 57 to 63 days of age, respectively. The results showed as follows:1) there was no significant difference on the mean of dry matter intake(DMI) from 22 to 63 days of age among groups(P>0.05), while DMI of claves at 57 to 63 days of age of SP and RP groups was significantly higher than the other groups(P<0.05). 2) At 29 to 35 days of age, organic matter(OM) digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of WP, PP and RP groups(P<0.05); CP digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of the other groups(P<0.05), while SP and RP groups were significantly higher than WP and PP groups(P<0.05), and WP group was significantly higher than PP group(P<0.05); ether extract(EE) digestibility of MP, SP and RP groups was significantly higher than that of WP and PP groups(P<0.05); calcium(Ca) digestibility of MP and RP groups was significantly higher than that of WP and PP groups(P<0.05); phosphorus(P) digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of SP, WP and PP groups(P<0.05). At 57 to 63 days of age, OM digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of WP and PP groups(P<0.05); CP digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of WP, PP and RP groups(P<0.05); Ca digestibility of MP group was significantly higher than that of SP and WP groups(P<0.05); EE digestibility of MP group was not significant different from that of the other groups(P>0.05); there was no significantly difference on P digestibility among five groups(P>0.05). 3) There were no significantly differences on rumen fermentation indexes among five groups at 28 and 42 days of age(P>0.05); at 56 days of age, rumen fluid pH of SP and RP groups was significantly lower than that of WP and PP groups(P<0.05). The difference of total volatile fatty acids(TVFA) concentration of MP with the other groups was not significantly(P>0.05), while TVFA concentration of PP group was significantly lower than that of SP and RP groups(P<0.05); propionic acid and butyric acid concentrations of SP and RP groups were significantly higher and lower than those of MP, WP and PP groups(P<0.05), respectively, and isovaleric acid and valeric acid concentrations were significantly lower than those of the other groups(P<0.05). From the above, under nutrient conditions in the present study, the digestibility of vegetable protein is lower than that of milk protein in calves; soybean protein concentrate has higher digestibility in the four sources of vegetable protein, but the difference is lowered with growing; vegetable protein have stronger auxo-action to rumen growth than milk protein.
