Abstract
Our objective was to measure and compare apparent ileal digestibility, standard ileal digestibility, and true ileal digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in milk replacers (MR) containing all milk proteins (WPC) or with 50% of the CP provided by an enzyme-treated soybean meal (ESBM). A T-cannula was placed in the ileum of 9 Holstein calves (8 males and 1 freemartin female) at approximately 15 d of age. After 2 wk postsurgery, calves were randomly assigned to a 3 × 3 replicated Latin square with 5-d periods. Calves were fed twice daily at a rate of 2% (dry matter) of body weight (1.25 kg/d on average), reconstituted to 15% solids, and adjusted weekly. No starter was offered to minimize rumen development. Digesta samples were collected continuously during 12 h on d 4 and 5 of each period. Basal endogenous losses of AA and CP were estimated by feeding an N-free MR to each calf during 1 period. Total endogenous losses (basal + specific; ENDtotal) were estimated by multivariate regression of the chi-squared distances between digesta and reference protein AA profiles. Ileal digesta pH with the ESBM diet was lower than that with the WPC diet. According to the piecewise nonlinear model of pH fluctuation, digesta pH during ESBM decreased more slowly after feeding and reached its nadir later than with the WPC diet. Diet did not affect average daily gain, but calves on the ESBM diet showed a bigger increment of withers height and lower mean fecal scores. The basal endogenous losses of AA and CP were 13.9 ± 1.1 and 22.4 ± 1.1 g/kg of dry matter intake, respectively. The estimated ENDtotal of AA and CP was higher with ESBM than with WPC. Accordingly, apparent ileal digestibility and standard ileal digestibility of most AA, CP, and total AA were lower or tended to be lower with ESBM. However, true ileal digestibility did not differ between diets for CP and all AA except Ala and Ile, which were greater with WPC, and Arg, which tended to be greater with ESBM. In agreement with the estimated differences in ENDtotal, we found that flows of digesta DNA and crude mucin were greater with ESBM. Substitution of 50% of the protein from whey with enzymatically treated soybean meal did not affect major nutrient digestibility or calf growth and even improved fecal consistency. Adjusting digestibilities of CP and AA in MR by endogenous protein losses is crucial when comparing bioavailability of alternative proteins and milk proteins.

Abstract
This study investigated the protective effects of methanol extract of Vernonia amygdalina leaf (MEVA) on aspirin induced gastric ulcer in rats. Thirty Wistar rats, 150-200 g were divided into six groups as follows: Group 1 (control) rats received 2 mL/kg of propylene glycol for 28 consecutive days. Group 2 (Ulcer Control) received 150 mg/kg/day of aspirin suspended in 3 mL of 1% carboxymethylcellulose in water orally for 3 consecutive days during which the rats were fasted for the induction of ulcer. Group 3 received cimetidine at 100 mg/kg/day orally for 28 consecutive days and thereafter treated as group 2. Groups 4, 5 and 6 received MEVA orally at 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg/day respectively for 28 consecutive days and thereafter were treated with aspirin as group 2. All the animals were sacrifice at the end of the study to determine the gastric pH, gastric acidity, gastric ulcer score, haematological indices, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, reduced glutathione (GSH) and Lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels. The result showed that aspirin significantly (p < 0.05) increased gastric ulcer score and index, decreased gastric pH, gastric acidity, SOD activity, GSH level as well as increased LPO level. It induced significant necrosis of the stomach tissue. Administration of MEVA significantly (p < 0.05) increased gastric pH, but decreased gastric acid secretion and reversed alteration of haematological parameters. It also significantly (p < 0.05) increased SOD activity, GSH level and decreased LPO level. The results suggest that Vernonia amygdalina possesses gastro-protective properties against aspirin-induced gastric ulcer.

Abstract
Protection of calves against enteric and respiratory disorders is dependent on the passive immunity that the calf has received, its innate resistance to infection, the burden of infection in the environment and the nutrition of the calf. Superimposed on these, are the effects of management and physical environment. The plane of nutrition required for dairy heifers during rearing depends on the age at first calving, and for meat animals depends on the carcass weight and fat deposition required at a particular slaughter date in relation to time of birth.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feeding frequency and route of administration on abomasal luminal pH in suckling calves. Six male dairy calves with cannulae in the abomasal body were administered the following six treatments in a randomized crossover design: 24 h fasting, suckling of a high-quality milk replacer (all-milk protein; 12% of body weight [BW]/d) at 12-h (2x), 8-h (3x), 6-h (4x), and 3-h (8x) intervals, and ruminal intubation of milk replacer (12% of body weight/day) at a 12-h (2x) interval. Abomasal luminal pH was measured every second for 24 h with miniature glass pH electrodes. Least squares mean 24-h fasting abomasal luminal pH was 1.73, whereas mean 24-h pH after suckling and intubation of milk replacer every 12 h were higher at 3.44 and 3.17, respectively. Increasing the frequency of milk replacer suckling to 3x, 4x, and 8x increased mean 24-h abomasal luminal pH; however, there was no difference in mean 24-h pH between 3x (3.69), 4x (3.64), and 8x (3.67) suckling. The percentage of the 24-h recording period that abomasal luminal pH was > 3.0 was 0, 49, 53, 61, 61, and 71% for fasting, 2x intubation of milk replacer, and 2x, 3x, 4x, and 8x suckling of milk replacer, respectively. Increasing the frequency of milk replacer suckling may be efficacious in the prophylaxis of abomasal ulceration in milk-fed calves.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of a commercially available orally administered antacid agent containing aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide on abomasal luminal pH in clinically normal milk-fed calves. DESIGN Randomized trial. ANIMALS 5 male dairy calves. PROCEDURE Throughout the study, calves were fed milk replacer at 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM. Cannulae for pH electrodes were placed in the abomasal body and pyloric antrum. Treatments consisted of oral administration of a high (50 ml) or low (25 ml) dose of the antacid agent and oral administration of milk replacer alone (control). Antacid was given at 7:30 AM, 3:30 PM, and 11:30 PM, and luminal pH was monitored continuously for 24 hours, beginning 15 minutes before administration of the first dose of antacid. RESULTS Administration of the first dose of antacid at the time of the morning feeding resulted in an increase in mean abomasal body luminal pH of < 1 pH unit, whereas administration of the second and third doses of the antacid caused transient (< 3 hours) increases in mean luminal pH of approximately 1.5 (low dose) and 2.5 (high dose) pH units. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggest that clinically normal milk-fed calves given a commercially available antacid agent, PO, will have a transient increase in abomasal luminal pH. Such agents may, therefore, have a role in the treatment of abomasal ulceration in calves; however, the long-term effects of orally administered antacid agents in milk-fed calves and the clinical efficacy of such agents in treating abomasal ulceration remain to be determined.

Abstract
Gastric digestion of three milk replacers for which protein was provided either exclusively by milk powder or partially (50%) by heated soybean flour or soybean protein concentrate was studied in vivo and in vitro. In vivo gastric emptying of protein fractions of the diets was measured in six preruminant calves fitted with reentrant duodenal cannulas and used in a double 3 x 3 Latin square design. In vitro gastric emptying was studied after hydrochloric acid and rennet digestion in an artificial stomach. In vivo and in vitro flow rates of 12% TCA-insoluble N and total N were higher for the soybean diets than for the milk protein diet, indicating that the incorporation of soybean protein prevented casein from clotting. Because of this faster gastric emptying, proteolysis in the stomach was reduced. However, gastric emptying of NPN (12% TCA-soluble N) was significantly decreased only in vitro. No difference existed between the two milk replacers containing either soybean flour or soybean protein concentrate. In vivo and in vitro results were correlated, suggesting that the in vitro method could be used to predict gastric digestion of protein fractions in vivo.

Abstract
In vivo and in vitro gastric emptying of protein fractions of three milk replacers containing either milk protein (control), a mixture (50:50 on a CP basis) of milk protein and native whey protein concentrate, or a mixture (50:50 on a CP basis) of milk protein and heated whey protein concentrate was studied. In vivo gastric emptying was measured in three preruminant calves fitted with reentrant duodenal cannulas and used in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. In vitro gastric emptying was determined after enzymatic digestion in an artificial stomach. In vivo and in vitro flow rates of protein N (12% TCA-insoluble N) and total N were higher for milk replacers containing whey proteins than for control. Gastric emptying of NPN (12% TCA-soluble N) was slightly higher for diets containing whey proteins than for that containing milk proteins. Gastric emptying of all protein fractions was similar for the two milk replacers containing whey proteins. In vivo and in vitro results were significantly correlated, suggesting that the in vitro method reproduced conditions for proteolysis and could be used to predict gastric digestion of protein fractions.

Abstract
1. Digesta were collected from eleven preruminant calves fitted with re-entrant (four calves in Expt 1 and three in Expt 2) or single cannulas (four calves in Expt 1) in the terminal ileum. Collection periods lasted 24 h (Expt 1) or 96 h (Expt 2). 2. Two milk-substitutes (fish and soya bean) and a control diet were given to the calves. In the control diet, protein was entirely provided by skim-milk powder. In the other two diets, protein was provided mainly by a partially hydrolysed white-fish protein concentrate or a soya-bean protein concentrate prepared by extracting soya-bean meal with hot aqueous ethanol. 3. In Expt 1, flow rates of fresh matter, dry matter, nitrogen and ash exhibited two maxima between 6 and 8 h after the morning meal and between 4 and 6 h (control and soya-bean diets) or 6 and 8 h (fish diet) after the evening meal. Minimum pH values were observed at times of maximum flow rate. Variations observed in the flow rates and pH values were larger with fish and especially soya-bean diets than with the control diet. 4. The apparent digestibility of the three diets in the terminal ileum was significantly higher in Expt 2 than in Expt 1: for N, the values were 0.92, 0.83 and 0.75 (Expt 1), and 0.94, 0.87 and 0.88 (Expt 2) with the control, fish and soya-bean diets respectively. 5. The amount of N apparently absorbed in the terminal ileum represented 90-96% of the amount that disappeared from the whole digestive tract in Expt 1 and 95-99% in Expt 2. 6. In Expt 1 the amino acid (AA) composition of digesta changed little with the flow rate when the calves were given the control diet (from 158 to 179 g glutamic acid/kg AA). With the fish and soya-bean diets the AA composition was similar to that observed with the control diet when the flow rate was minimum, but differences became apparent as the flow rate increased (281 and 161 g glutamic acid/kg AA for the soya-bean and control diets respectively with maximum flow rate). In Expt 2, the mean compositions of the digesta were very similar to the means obtained in Expt 1. 7. Different comparisons with dietary, endogenous and bacterial proteins indicated that for the three diets a common mixture containing approximately 65% endogenous and 35% bacterial proteins reached the terminal ileum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
A rather long list of broad generalizations exist regarding milk replacers for calves. At least two more general statements should be added to that list. Most broad generalizations regarding milk replacers should be applied cautiously; and if young calves (less than 2 to 3 weeks) are to be fed milk substitutes, the products should be of high quality. Our primary goal in feeding baby calves should be health oriented--that is, not to pre-dispose to or cause diarrhea through diet. This means using milk-source ingredients in milk substitutes targeted for young calves. The preponderance of data presented in this article underscores that statement. Milk replacers containing nonmilk sources of major nutrients are better fed to older calves.

Abstract
Two experiments of Latin square design, with four Friesian bull calves fitted with re-entrant duodenal cannulas at 4-10 d of age, were made to study the effect of giving varying levels of single-cell protein on the abomasal outflow and composition of digesta. In Expt 1, diets in which 0, 220, 440, and 660 g/kg milk protein were replaced by the bacterial protein Pruteen were compared from 14 d of age. In Expt 2, which began at about 61 d of age, a comparison was made of diets in which 0, 220, 440 and 660 g/kg milk protein were replaced by the yeast protein Toprina. Collection of abomasal outflow was made for 8 h after feeding for 2 d within each 6 d period of the Latin square design experiment. The amount of diet offered daily was 50 g dry matter/kg body-weight 0.75. Polyethylene glycol (PEG), which was used as an indigestible marker, total nitrogen (TN), protein-N (PN), fat, and potassium, sodium and chloride ion outflows were measured together with pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1) and chymosin (EC 3.4.23.4) activities, pH and titratable acidity. In Expt 1 there was little difference in the outflow of liquid digesta between diets and about 0.9 of the dietary PEG was recovered within the 8 h collection period. With increasing amounts of Pruteen in the diet, outflows of TN, PN, fat and Na+ increased, and the pH of digesta increased. However, the volume of 'apparent secretion' into the abomasum (outflow - intake), pepsin activity, chymosin activity, titratable acidity, (outflow of Cl- -outflow of Na+) as a measure of outflow of HCl, and outflows of K+ and of Cl- were reduced. All outflows decreased with the time interval after feeding, except (Cl- -Na+) outflow. In Expt 2, the same trends as in Expt 1 were apparent, but since one calf had to be slaughtered and the experiment had to be analysed as a randomized block, only PN and K+ outflows and pH were significantly affected by dietary treatment, with K+ outflow increasing, rather than decreasing, with increasing concentration of single-cell protein in the diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Holstein calves (120) were fed milk replacers as the only nutrients from 4 to 46 days of age. All milk replacers contained 20% crude protein and differed in protein source: 1) 100% milk protein; 2) 67% milk protein, 33% soybean protein concentrate; 3) 67% milk protein, 33% enzymatic hydrolysate of fish; 4) 67% milk protein, 16.5% soybean protein concentrate, 16.5% enzymatic hydrolysate of fish; 5) 67% milk protein, 16.5% soybean protein concentrate, 16.5% spray-dried fish solubles; 6) 67% milk protein, 24.75% soybean protein concentrate, 8.25% spray-dried fish solubles. Substitution up to 33% of dietary protein with soybean protein concentrate or combinations of soybean, enzymatic hydrolysate of fish, or spray-dried fish solubles produced 14% lower weight gains than all milk protein, but 33% replacement with enzymatic hydrolysate of fish produced 27% lower weight gains. Feed consumed per kilogram of gain was least for all milk, most for 33% fish hydrolysate, and intermediate for other rations. Scour scores did not differ between diets.

Abstract
Enteric and respiratory disorders are the main hazards to successful calf rearing. The many interrelated factors in the etiology of these disorders are reviewed, and an attempt has been to classify the factors into those of a microbiological, immunological, nutritional, genetic, physical, or psychological nature. No one would dispute that enteric and respiratory disorders are the two main hazards to calf health, but many would argue about the relative importance of specific pathogens and other predisposing factors in the etiology of these disorders.

Abstract
Activation of prochymosin at pH below 2.5 results in formation of the active enzyme pseudochymosin by proteolytic cleavage of the bond 27--28. Pseudochymosin is 15 amino acid residues longer than chymosin. It is the final activation product at low pH, whereas chymosin is formed by activation between pH 4 and 5. Pseudochymosin is converted to chymosin when it is brought to pH 5.5. Our present knowledge does not allow quantitative evaluation of the possible reactions involved in formation of pseudochymosin, but the course of activation at pH 2 is in accordance with an intermolecular reaction between two zymogen molecules as the predominant reaction. We find indications of an intramolecular reaction when intermolecular reactions are prevented by immobilization of the zymogen.

Abstract
1. Milk-substitute diets, in which 330-360 (L) or 610-700 (H) g/kg milk protein was replaced by protein from a thermo-alkali-treated soya-bean flour (SF) or from fish-protein concentrate (FPC), were compared in an experiment involving fifty Friesian calves, of which half were supplemented with a growth promoter, Grofas, known to have bacteriostatic properties. The liquid diets were fed ad lib. from 48 h of age until 136 kg live weight.2. Seven calves, given non-milk protein, died or were removed from the experiment. There was little difference between treatments in the incidence of diarrhoea or in other observations on health of surviving calves, but those given non-milk protein maintained a lower mean rectal temperature.3. Weight gain was reduced, especially during the first 3 weeks of life, by inclusion of non-milk protein. The reduction was greater for SF than for FPC, and greater at the H level. Supplementation with Grofas improved weight gain for calves given non-milk protein, but tended to reduce that for calves given milk protein.4. Apparent digestibility of dry matter and protein was reduced when non-milk protein was used. The reduction was greatest at a young age, greater for SF than for FPC and greater at the H level. Apparent digestibility of fat was most markedly reduced with FPC, especially at 1 week of age, and was increased by Grofas supplementation. Digestibility of the carbohydrate in SF was low at 1 week but increased with age. Grofas supplementation caused a marked reduction in the disappearance of SF-carbohydrate in the alimentary tract. Apparent absorption of ash and calcium were reduced by non-milk protein, especially by FPC. The reduction in absorption of ash from SF was moderated by Grofas supplementation. Although Ca retention for calves given SF at the H level was very low, no bone defects were observed.5. Nitrogen retention was slightly lower for calves given non-milk protein, but the efficiency of retention of apparently digested N was greater for calves given non-milk protein because of the much reduced urinary N excretion associated with a lower apparently digested N intake.6. Dressed-carcass weight and ‘killing out’ percentage were lower for calves given non-milk protein, especially SF at the H level. Adrenal weights were markedly increased by feeding SF especially at the H level. Pancreas weight was greater for calves given SF than for those given FPC.7. Weight of abomasal contents at slaughter was much lower for calves given non-milk protein. Weight of intestinal tissue and of total tissue in the alimentary tract were markedly increased by non-milk protein, especially by SF at the H level, and reduced by Grofas supplementation. The increased weight was associated with increased thickening of the walls of both the small and large intestine, which was possibly associated with hypertrophy of muscle cells.8. It is concluded that up to 360 g/kg milk protein could be replaced by protein from this thermo-alkalitreated SF, and up to 610 g/kg milk protein from this FPC without markedly affecting performance, especially if an effective growth promoter is included in the diet. The beneficial effect of Grofas appeared to result from the reduction in the fermentation of the oligosaccharides of SF, which was reflected in higher digestibility particularly of fat and absorption of Ca and in reduced thickness of the intestines.
