Whole cottonseed inclusion in starter feeds improves performance, inflammometabolic profile, and rumination behavior in Holstein dairy calves
The high energy, protein, and fiber contents of whole cottonseed make it a potential candidate for the inclusion in calf starters to promote the rumen development. This study aimed at assessing whether the inclusion of whole cottonseed in the starter would affect performance, metabolic profile, and...
