Prior to castration (d \u221214), Angus bulls were weighed and randomly assigned to be band castrated (BAN; n = 8; age = 90.2 \u00b1 6.5 d; BW = 146.3 \u00b1 11.4 kg; scrotal circumference = 16.0 \u00b1 0.5 cm) or castrated with M (BAN + M; n = 9; age = 102.1 \u00b1 6.2 d; BW = 146.0 \u00b1 7.7 kg; scrotal circumference = 16.1 \u00b1 0.3 cm). Six bulls selected to remain bulls based on pedigree and phenotype were maintained in the same pasture (BULL; age = 104.2 \u00b1 6.1 d; BW = 172.1 \u00b1 8.7 kg; scrotal circumference = 17.5 \u00b1 0.4 cm). On d 0, BAN and BAN + M had a rubber band applied tightly around the scrotum, and BAN + M also received oral M (2 mg\/kg BW). On d 1, 14, and 28, animals were weighed and a blood sample was collected to determine circulating concentrations of haptoglobin and fibrinogen. Data loggers were affixed to the legs of calves immediately prior to castration (d 0) to record behaviors [mean lying time (h\/d), mean lying bouts (n\/d), and steps (n\/d)] at 1-min intervals and removed on d 28. Behavior and plasma data were tested for effect of treatment, day, and treatment \u00d7 day interaction, and ADG data were tested for effect of treatment, period (d \u221214 to 1, d 1 to 14, and d 14 to 28), and treatment \u00d7 period interaction using JMP procedures for repeated measures (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC). BULL in period d 0 to 14 had greater ADG than all other treatment period combinations, and BULL had greater ADG than BAN or BAN + M overall (P &amp;lt; 0.05). There was no effect of M treatment on circulating concentrations of fibrinogen or haptoglobin (P &amp;gt; 0.05). On d 7 and 15, BAN took more steps than BAN + M (P &amp;lt; 0.05). BAN + M had more lying bouts than BAN on d 13 and 14 (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Overall, M administration had no effect on ADG post-castration and only had minor impacts on behavior in calves band castrated pre-weaning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txaa021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,18]],"date-time":"2020-02-18T02:21:36Z","timestamp":1581992496000},"page":"1082-1090","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effect of oral meloxicam administration on growth performance and behavior of pre-weaning age calves following band castration"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jay A","family":"Daniel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Berry College, Mt.
