Variations of hemoglobin, hematocrit, folates and vitamin B12 concentrations in blood serum were studied during the rearing period of 62 rapidly growing (1.6 kg d−1) white veal calves. The animals were fed exclusively with milk replacers during the 110 d rearing period. Hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased linearly with time (P < 0.0001). There was an age effect (P < 0.0001) on serum concentrations of vitamin B12 and folates during the rearing period. The serum concentrations of vitamin B12 increased during the first 3 wk from 214.8 pg mL−1 to 422.6 pg mL−1 and then were stable until the 13th week of the rearing period. Serum concentrations of folates decreased during the 3 wk from 11.3 ng mL−1 to 5.1 ng mL−1 and then increased to reach a stable concentration of about 14 ng mL−1 from 6 wk to the end of the rearing period. Males had significantly lower serum folates concentrations than females (P < 0.0001) but their serum profiles during the rearing period were similar. Further studies will be necessary to elucidate the consequences of a decrease in serum folates during the starting period on the growth performance of white veal calves. Key words: White veal calves, blood serum folates, vitamin B12

Sixteen Holstein bull calves were used during 62–82 days to study the long-term effects of substituting 0, 25, 50 and 75% of the animal fat (tallow) with low-erucic acid rapeseed oil (Span) in milk replacers for veal calves. Growth rates and feed efficiency were affected by the dietary treatments. The highest level of substitution (75%) did not affect the digestibility of the energy or the dry matter, but did decrease average daily gains, feed efficiency and the apparent digestibility of dietary nitrogen (P < 0.05). Nitrogen retention and utilization were not affected by the dietary treatments. The histological analyses of various internal organs did not reveal any treatment effects. The evaluation of carcass quality showed no differences in flavor but there was a non-linear decrease in tenderness of the meat with increasing levels of rapeseed oil in the diets. The 75% level of substitution resulted in tougher meat than the 25% level treatment.
