ABSTRACT Veal calves at the age of 4 to 6 mo often experience problems with glucose
homeostasis, as indicated by postprandial hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin
strategy [eg, prolonged milk replacer (MR) feeding] contribute to this pathology. The
objective of this study was therefore to analyze effects of MR feeding, weaning, and
supplementation of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) on the development of
