The micro-flora needs longer time to establish in the rumen of the calves
fed whole milk as compared to calves

The sample size required was calculated on the basis of 80% power and 0.05 [alpha] to detect at least a 65% probability that a randomly chosen participant from the syringe

Feed conversion ratio: Feed conversion ratio was better in 3- hour
