Description

This Supplementary Material is part of the manuscript "Practical approaches to increase whole milk total solids: effects on performance and health of dairy calves". This study aimed to evaluate the performance, metabolism, and health of Holstein calves fed whole milk adjusted for 15% total solids by adding a commercial solids corrector (24% crude protein and 4.8% crude fat) using two practical approaches: daily adjustment using a Brix refractometer or the addition of a fixed amount of the corrector based on mean milk solids content.
