The authors wish to make the following correction to their paper [1]. In the Materials and Method Section, Table 3 was incorrect due to some numerical errors. The correct version of the table appears below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience; the change does not affect the scientific results on the animal level.
Table 3.
Dry matter content and chemical composition of milk replacer, concentrate feed and roughage (hay) fed prior to weaning and total mixed ration (TMR) fed after weaning of the calves.
| Feed | DM % | CA g/kg DM | CP g/kg DM | EE g/kg DM | CF g/kg DM | NDF g/kg DM | ADF g/kg DM | Starch g/kg DM | Sugar g/kg DM |

All ingredients were assessed by Weender analysis. Dry matter (DM), crude ash (CA), crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) were analyzed in all feedstuff. Crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were analyzed in the solid feed. In concentrate feed and TMR starch was analyzed and in concentrate feed additionally sugar was analyzed.
