January 1981 in “Elsevier eBooks” March 2026 in “Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences” The study investigated the impact of adding emulsifier and probiotic supplements with sodium butyrate to milk replacer on haircoat condition and blood biochemical profiles in 12 pre-ruminant crossbred calves over 90 days. Calves were divided into two groups, with one receiving lysolecithin and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, and the other receiving the same plus sodium butyrate. Alopecia was monitored weekly, and blood biochemical indices were measured at the trial's end. Both groups showed signs of alopecia between weeks 2 and 6, but the scores were significantly different, indicating a potential effect of the supplements on haircoat condition.
