  • Title: An oxalate-sodium hydroxide buffer to study the role of milk replacer coagulation in preruminant calves.
    Author: Petit HV, Ivan M, Brisson GJ.
    Journal: J Dairy Sci; 1987 Dec; 70(12):2565-9. PubMed ID: 3448107.
    Abstract:
    An oxalate-NaOH buffer, which prevents coagulation in the abomasum of young calves, was added to a nonclotting milk replacer based on high heat skim milk powder, to investigate effects of this buffer on digestibility and metabolism of dietary components. Twelve Holstein male calves were allotted at random in two groups of six animals each and fed the experimental milk replacers from 3 to 17 d of age. Digestibility of dry matter, protein, and fat was similar for both control and buffered milk replacers. Concentrations of plasma glucose, triglycerides, alpha-amino nitrogen, and urea were the same in animals receiving buffer treated milk replacer and control diets. The data suggests that this oxalate-NaOH buffer would be suitable to prevent milk clotting in studies dealing with the importance of coagulation in digestion and metabolism in preruminant calves.
