Abstract

Alteration in diet during a weaning period is often associated with changes in eating behaviour. This research evaluated the effect of providing different fibre sources on Brahman crossbred calves' eating behaviour and rumination activity.  Ten Brahman crossbred calves aged eight weeks were randomly distributed into two dietary fibre treatments: COP = concentrate 40% + Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan 60%;  COM = concentrate 40% + Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan 30% + Gliricidia sepium 30%). Feeding different dietary fibre changed the duration, percentage of eating time, and eating frequency ( P<0.05). Of the 9 hours of observation, 45,62% of the time was allocated for eating Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan. Less time was spent eating a combination of dietary fibres (44, 31%).  More frequent eating was observed in the COP group (20,88 times) than in the COM group (20,02 times). The treatments did not affect the drinking time (P>0.05). Providing a higher fibre diet in the COP group increased rumination frequency (P<0.05). However, it did not affect the duration and percentage of time of rumination during diurnal observation (P>0.05). In conclusion, feeding Pennisetum purpureum cv Taiwan as a dietary fibre during the weaning transition improves calves' eating behaviour and rumination activity.
