Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different roughages on growth development, digestion and metabolism and serum biochemical indexes of weaned Holstein male calves. Fifty-four healthy weaned Holstein male calves[(70±3) days of age and (77.50±5.07) kg] were randomly assigned to 3 groups with 18 calves in each group. The peanut vine (PV group), oat hay (OH group) and the combination of alfalfa hay+oat hay (alfalfa hay:oat hay=1:1, AO group) were used as roughage sources for each group of diets, respectively. The adaptation period lasted for 7 d, and the experimental period lasted for 60 d. The feed intake of calves was measured daily, and the body weight and body size indexes of calves were measured every 15 d. At the 60th day of the experimental period, six calves were randomly selected to collect blood sample from the jugular vein of each group for the measurement of serum biochemical indexes. The 2 periods of digestion and metabolism trial were carried out at the end of the feeding experiment. The results showed as follows:1) the average daily feed intake, final body weight and average daily gain of calves in the PV group and AO group were significantly higher than these in OH group (P<0.05), and the feed/gain of calves in the PV group was the lowest during the whole trial period. 2) The chest girth of calves in PV group and AO group were significantly higher than that in OH group on day 30 (P<0.05), and the body height and chest circumference of calves in PV group were significantly higher than those in OH group on day 60 (P<0.05). 3) The apparent digestibility of dry matter and the biological value of nitrogen of calves in PV group were significantly higher than those in OH group (P<0.05). The apparent digestibility of organic matter and calcium, digestible energy, metabolic energy, methane energy, absorbed nitrogen and retained nitrogen of calves in PV group were significantly higher than those in OH group (P<0.05). 4) The contents of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and glucose in serum of calves in PV group were significantly higher than those in OH group and AO group (P<0.05), and the serum urea nitrogen content was significantly lower than that in OH group and AO group (P<0.05). 5) The economic benefit of PV group was the highest, the unit price of peanut vine was the lowest and the roughage weight gain cost of calves in PV group was significantly lower than that of calves in OH group and AO group (P<0.05), which increased the profit space. In conclusion, using peanut vine as roughage source of diets for weaned Holstein male calves can meet the meet the need for nutrients and make the higher average daily gain, feed utilization and lower feed cost for weaned calves, while has no influence on the overall health of calves, thus, peanut vine can be used as a high-quality roughage resource of diets for weaned calves.
