Influence of Homogenization of Fat on Haircoat of Dairy Calves

    January 1946 in “ Journal of Dairy Science ”

    TLDR Feeding calves skim milk and soybean oil caused temporary hair loss, which improved with hay or grain.
    The study investigated the effects of feeding dairy calves a diet of skim milk and soybean oil on their haircoat. Calves were fed this diet starting on the fifth day after birth, with adjustments made to the oil content to prevent nutritional scours. By two weeks of age, calves experienced hair loss primarily in the perineal region, with some dandruff but otherwise healthy-looking hair. The hair loss was not linked to infection or parasites. The condition improved as the calves began consuming hay or grain, suggesting that the physical form of the fat in their diet may have influenced haircoat health.

      The post discusses the theory that persistent dandruff in areas prone to hair loss could be a sign of hair follicles dying due to DHT, indicating balding. The responses vary, with some users noting improvements in dandruff and hair loss with treatments like Dutasteride, while others experienced hair loss without dandruff.
