Discussion

Supplementation with postbiotics improved growth metrics and immune status in dairy calves, suggesting enhanced future productivity.

SCFP calves showed a greater average daily gain of 0.93 kg/d compared to 0.60 kg/d in control calves.
Postbiotics supplementation led to increased plasma volatile fatty acids, hinting at improved nutrient absorption.
First lactation SCFP cows produced an additional 2.1 kg/d of milk, indicating long-term productivity benefits.
Calves receiving SCFP exhibited better immune responses, highlighting the product's role in health maintenance.

Sfulcini et al. (2025) studied this question.
