Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】This study was designed to investigate the effects of free stall barn-feeding and castration on growth and serum biochemical parameters of Holstein bulls to provide a scientific basis for fattening and management of Holstein bulls. 【Method】 Twenty-six healthy Holstein bulls were randomly selected and castrated (steers). Twenty days later, another 26 healthy Holstein bulls were randomly selected as controls (bulls). The bulls and steers were randomly divided into 2 groups with 13 heads in each group. The body weight of cows from each group were similar (about 270 kg). Four groups were conducted with this trial: group I (bulls with free stall barn-feeding, BF), group II (bulls with tie stall barn-feeding, BT), group III (steers with free stall barn-feeding, SF), group IV (steers with tie stall barn-feeding, ST). The experiment was lasted for 206 days. 【Result】The results showed as follows: (1) Compared with tie stall groups, the average daily gain (ADG) of free stall groups increased by 13.59% (P＜0.01). Compared with the steers groups, the ADG of bulls groups increased by 13.59% (P＜0.01). The interaction of free or tie-stall (FOT) × non-castration or castration (NOC) showed significant effects on the ADG (P＜0.05). Compared with group II, III and IV, the ADG of group I increased by 5.26% (P＞0.05), 5.26% (P＞0.05) and 31.87% (P＜0.01) respectively. (2) The apparent digestibility of the neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (P＜0.01), calcium (Ca) (P＜0.01), crude fat (EE) (P＜0.05), phosphate (P) (P＜0.05) of tie stall groups were lower than that of free stall groups. The apparent digestibility of Ca of steers groups was lower than that of bulls groups (P＜0.01). (3) In comparison with tie stall group, the free stall groups showed higher serum concentrations of total protein (TP) (P＜0.01), albumin (ALB) (P＜0.01), triglyceride (TG) (P＜0.01), total cholesterol (TC) (P＜0.01), triiodothyronine (T₃) (P＜0.01), lysozyme (LYS) (P＜0.05), NO (P＜0.05) as well as the activity of serum of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (AST) (P＜0.01) and glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (ALT) (P＜0.05). While the serum concentrations of urea nitrogen (BUN) (P＜0.01) of the free stall groups were lower than that of the tie stall groups. In comparison with bulls groups, the serum concentrations of TP (P＜0.01), AST (P＜0.01), growth hormone (GH) (P＜0.01), T3 (P＜0.01), testosterone (T) (P＜0.01), and immunoglobulin G (IgG) (P＜0.01) were lower, but the serum concentrations of TG (P＜0.01), TC (P＜0.01), leptin (LP) (P＜0.01), and BUN (P＜0.05) were higher in steers groups. The serum concentrations of TP, TG, TC, T₃ significantly affected by interaction between FOT×NOC (P＜0.01). The serum concentrations of TP and T₃ in group I were the highest, while TG and TC in group III were the highest. 【Conclusion】 In conclusion, bulls with free stall barn-feeding could improve the fattening performance and immune function, and steers with free stall barn-feeding could increase the accumulation of adipose tissue. Therefore, the results suggested that for fair quality beef production, bulls with free stall barn feeding could be applied to the Holstein bulls at 270-500 kg live weight, but for top grade beef production, steers with free stall barn-feeding could be used.

Key words: Holstein bulls, free stall barn-feeding and castration, fattening performance, blood biochemical indices
