Serum metabolism of weaned calves feeding oat hay or maize silage substituting for portion of alfalfa hay varied with week. AH, 36.3% pellet starter feed+23.7% flaked corn+40.0% alfalfa hay; OH, 36.3% pellet starter feed+23.7% flaked corn+26.7% alfalfa hay+13.3% oat hay; WS, 36.3% pellet starter feed+23.7% flaked corn+26.7% alfalfa hay+13.3% maize silage. For each time point, * indicates significance at the 0.05 level and ** indicates significance at the 0.01 level among three treatment groups. During the experimental procedure, concentrations of glucose (GLU), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) varied significantly following forage supplementation (p<0.05).
