| Research Abstract |
In this study, the calves were fed lactoferrin (LF), which is absorbed by the small intestine and improves immune functions, and cellobiose (CB), which volatile fatty acids (VFA) (a substance that is converted to nutrients in the large intestines) and activates nutrient metabolism. We also evaluated the synchronization effect of LF and CB. Growth, nutrient metabolism, and immune functions improved after LF or CB were given. LF and CB were identified as functionality components that contribute to healthy long-term growth from the suckling to rearing period. In particular, the suppression of growth retardation during the weaning period is a new finding of this study. On the other hand, a synchronized effect was not observed because independent supply of LF and CB both sufficiently stabilized the biological functions.
