The enrolled calves were selected from 3 commercial dairy operations in Minnesota at 3 ± 1.3 d of age. At the farm of origin, calves were offered at least 3 colostrum feedings of 3 to 4 L each within the first 24 h of life and thereafter 2 L of mixed transition milk twice daily. Upon arrival, calves were weighed and assigned to 1 of the 2 milk feeding treatments by farm of origin and BW(?): (1) calves fed nonmedicated all-milk protein milk replacer (MR) (26% CP, 31% fat, on a DM basis; Milk Products Inc., Chilton, WI) at a 12.5% DM concentration; (2) calves fed pasteurized waste milk (pWM) (28.4% CP, 30.1% fat, DM basis). From arrival to d 56 of study, calves were housed in individual pens. Calves were fed 0.34 kg of DM/feeding of their respective milk treatment twice daily from arrival to d 42, and once daily from d 43 to weaning at d 49.

Fecal samples of each calf were collected at arrival, at d 35 (preweaning), and at d 56 (postweaning) by inserting a sterile swab (Puritan HydraFlock, Puritan Diagnostics LLC, Guilford, ME) into the rectal cavity
