SUMMARY1. Fifty-one Jersey, Ayrshire and British Friesian male calves were reared from birth to veal weights on one of three liquid diets.2. Two ultra-high fat milk powders containing 680 g fat, either beef tallow (T) or a mixture of coconut oil and beef tallow (CT)/kg dry matter were prepared and mixed with liquid skim milk (35 g powder/kg) to give diets TLS and CTLS, containing 200 g fat/kg dry matter. A third diet consisted of reconstituted spray-dried skim milk powder containing 200 g margarine fat/kg (MDS).3. The incidence of diarrhoea and of nasal discharge for all breeds, and of a high rectal temperature for the Ayrshire breed was greatest for calves given diet MDS and lowest for those given diet TLS. The incidence of lung lesions at slaughter was 100, 72 and 57% for the Jersey, Friesian and Ayrshire breeds respectively. Severity of lung lesions was lowest for calves given diet TLS.4. Dry-matter intake and live-weight gain, especially for the Ayrshire breed, were greater for calves given diets containing liquid skim milk and the ultra-high fat powders (TLS and CTLS).5. Fat digestibility was lowest on diet TLS. Protein digestibility increased with age. Digestibility of dry matter and lactose, and absorption of ash and calcium decreased with age. Calcium and N retention were lowest on diet MDS.6. Killing-out percentage was highest for the Friesian and lowest for the Jersey breed. Perirenal fat deposition was highest for the Jersey and lowest for the Ayrshire breed. Skin weight/kg0·73 was higher for the Ayrshire calves than for the other two breeds.

Milk Replacers

The operation of the Willems Polytron® to prepare batches of high-fat (27–35%, air dry basis) milk replacers is described. Most milk replacers were mixed at 40% solids to minimize foaming, and were diluted prior to feeding. The Polytron homogenized fat in liquid mixtures at 55 or 65 C, and partially dispersed insoluble ingredients in soybean, rape-seed, and fish flours. The inclusion of 25% or more of partially delactosed acid whey powder increased the viscosity of the mixtures, and held insoluble ingredients in suspension for several hours. Homogenization of a milk replacer containing 73% skim milk powder and 27% bleachable fancy tallow (3% soybean lecithin added) markedly improved growth (425 vs. 190 g/day), dry matter, nitrogen, and energy digestion (92 vs. 73% for energy) and nitrogen retention (44 vs. 24%) by calves. Calf responses were similar when the liquid diet was homogenized at either 55 or 65 C. Homogenization with 3% soybean lecithin in the tallow increased digestion of dry matter, nitrogen, and energy by chives by 5–6% units (P < 0.2), and Ca by 16% units (P < 0.05) compared with no lecithin. Bleachable fancy or crude tallow and 3% soybean lecithin or 0.2% glyceryl monostearate in the fat gave similar calf responses.

SummaryEight explosive outbreaks of food poisoning, occurring in school canteens in England during 1953 and affecting 1190 known cases, are described. The clinical features were characteristic of the toxin type of illness. No deaths occurred.The food causing all of these outbreaks was prepared from spray-dried skim milk powder. It was not subsequently heat-treated and was usually consumed 3–4 hr. after preparation.The spray-dried milk powder proved to contain a high content of bacteria, including large numbers of Staph. aureus, of a phage pattern often associated with food poisoning. The assumption was therefore made that these outbreaks were caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin.Because the food was often consumed within 3–4 hr. of reconstitution of the milk powder—before, in fact, the staphylococci had had time to grow—it is concluded that the poisoning must have been due mainly to pre-formed toxin.Consideration is given to the opportunities for the formation of toxin in a spray-drying plant, and reasons are brought forward for believing that it is formed mainly in the balance tank where the warm milk is kept, sometimes for several hours, before passing into the final drying chamber.The processing of the milk and the precautions for preventing contamination of the finished product are discussed.

Dry Matter Digestibility

Pig performance was compared on wheat based diets supplemented by two levels of either meat and bone meal or fish meal plus skim milk powder. The dry matter digestibility and nitrogen retention on these diets were determined and the effect of adding zinc to diets containing meat and bone meal was examined. At the higher level, fish meal plus skim milk powder produced greater daily gains between 60-160 lb than the meat and bone meal, but feed conversion and carcase lean were not affected. At the lower level, fish meal plus skim milk powder produced leaner carcases and greater daily gains between 60-160 lb than the meat and bone meal supplement, but had no effect on feed conversion. Between 60-100 lb, feed conversion was affected by level but not by supplement, and the higher level of fish meal plus skim milk powder produced greater daily gains than all other diets. The higher levels of each supplement produced greater nitrogen retentions and leaner carcases than the lower levels. Dry matter digestibility was least on the higher level meat and bone meal. Zinc supplements had no effect on performance.

1. The effect of different protein sources in milk-substitute diets on abomasal acidity and proteolytic activity was studied in Friesian calves, aged 20–58 d (Expt 1). The diets contained ‘mildly’ preheated, spray-dried skim-milk powder (MHM), ‘severely’ preheated, spray-dried skim-milk powder (SHM), fish-protein concentrate (FPC) or solvent-extracted soya-bean flour (SF) as the main protein source.2. Gastric juice was collected from abomasal pouches before feeding and at 15 min intervals for 8 h after the morning feed. Samples of digesta were obtained from the abomasum at 1 h intervals during the same period.3. Digesta pH was lower and titratable acidity higher 0-3 h after giving the diet containing MHM than when any of the other three diets was given.4. Acid secretion from the pouches for the different diets was in the order: FPC > MHM > SHM ≥ SF.5. Protease secretion from the pouches, assayed at pH 2.1, was in the order: MHM > SHM = FPC > SF.6. The effect of dry matter (dm) intake and concentration on abomasal acidity was also studied in calves given diets which contained MHM (Expt 2). This diet was reconstituted at either 100 or 149 g dm/kg liquid diet and fed at either 32.5 or 49.0 g DM/kg live weight 0.75 per d. Samples of abomasal digesta were collected as in Expt 1.7. A high intake of dm at a low dm concentration resulted in low acidity of the digesta in the first 3 h after feeding, which suggested a dilution effect. Comparison of two diets of different dm concentration, which were fed in the same volume of liquid, indicated that the greater the dm intake, the greater was the amount of acid secreted.8. It is concluded that the protein sources varied in their ability to stimulate abomasal acid and protease secretion and it is suggested that this may relate to calf performance.

Ad Libitum

Thirty-two British Friesian calves were individually offered milk substitutes ad libitum twice daily for 12 weeks. The milks were reconstituted to contain 170, 200, 230 or 260 g dry matter (DM) per kg, using spray-dried skim milk powder and homogenized fat-filled powder containing 500 g fat per kg. Drinking water was available ad libitum at all times. The last two blocks of four calves were used to measure the digestibility, absorption and retention of the constituents of the diets at 2, 6 and 11 weeks of age.The DM intakes of the calves given the four diets were variable but generally increased with increasing DM concentration, mean values being 61·5, 59·5, 66·0 and 73·3 g DM per kg M0.75. As the calves increased in age, their intakes decreased from 67·3 g DM per kg M0.75 at 2 weeks of age to 61·1 g DM per kg M0.75 at 8 weeks of age.The higher DM concentrations and intakes were associated with the higher rates of weight gain; the mean live weights at 12 weeks of age being 121·8, 123·9, 135·3 and 141·6 kg for the calves offered milks reconstituted at 170, 200, 230 and 260 g DM per kg respectively.The concentration of the DM had no effect upon the coefficients of digestion or absorption nor on the retention of energy, protein, calcium or phosphorus. The digestibility of protein increased, whilst the absorption and retention of Ca and P declined with age.Intake of drinking water did not change with age, but was higher for calves given the milk containing 260 g DM per kg than for those given the other three concentrations. The total water intakes were similar for the calves given milks containing 200, 230 and 260 g DM per kg.The linear relationship of DM intake to DM concentration of the milk substitute suggested a lower level of intake in the present experiment, than was observed in a previous experiment (Ternouth, Stobo, Roy and Beattie, 1985b) when the milk concentrations were lower and drinking water was not available. When the concentrations of the DM were re-calculated to take into account the quantity of drinking water consumed, the relationships between DM intake and adjusted DM concentration for the two experiments were similar.

Suitable Index

Three spray-dried powders were prepared after heating skim milk for 30 min at 60 C (LT), 73.9 C (MT) or 85 C (HT). Each was reconstituted to two concentrations of dietary fat and fed to five or six calves for 26 days after purchase at approximately 1 wk of age. Calves receiving the HT skim milk had significantly (P < 0.05) higher incidence of diarrhea and slower rate of gain over 19 days on test as compared with those fed the MT and LT skim milks. Subsequently growth rate was unaffected by the skim milk source and there were interactions of fat level with skim milk source. The high fat level (22.2% of dietary dry matter) resulted in a higher incidence of alopecia than in calves receiving the low fat level (16.2% of dietary dry matter). Nutrient digestibilities and nitrogen balance, measured from day 20 to day 26, were unaffected by skim milk treatments or fat concentrations. This experiment indicated that young calves, less than 3 wk of age, require a diet based on skim milk that has not been severely heat-treated and the curd formation is a suitable index of quality for such milk replacer diets. Where control diets for milk-replacer studies are designated "all milk protein," it is important for correct interpretation to define their curd-forming characteristics. For older calves, coagulation appears not to be a requirement.

High-temperature-treated skim milk (HTSM) used in milk replacers for calves resulted in no growth response to an increased protein level as compared with low temperature treatment (LTSM), where an increase in protein level from 20.7 to 25.6% of the dry matter resulted in an increase (P < 0.05) in growth rate during the first 19 days on experiment. The HTSM resulted in a greater depression of gross energy intake than the LTSM when dietary fat levels were changed from high to low. Increasing the fat level from 18.0 to 20.9% of the dry matter improved calf health, and rate of gain (independently of energy intake) during early life. The intake of gross energy from high fat diets tended to be higher with the high protein level than with the low protein level. This tendency was reversed in the low fat diets. From 19 days of age to market weight (95 kg liveweight), energy intake increased with increased protein and fat in the diet. During this period, daily gain (after removing the effect of energy intake) responded only to increased protein level in the diet. However, calves fed HTSM had lower (P < 0.05) dressing percent than those fed LTSM.
