Dietary protein to starch metabolizable energy ratios alter growth performance and gastrointestinal microbiota of calves

Dietary protein to starch metabolizable energy ratios alter growth performance and gastrointestinal microbiota of calves

The diet structure is very important for the growth and development of calves. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary protein-to-starch metabolizable energy ratios (DPSRs) on growth performance, blood index, and gastrointestinal microbiota of calves. Forty-eight Holstein bull calves...
