This study examines calf growth in Iberian deer and compares the influence of milk minerals, other nutrients, and lactation variables relevant for growth to discern the relative weight of each factor. In addition, because Iberian deer hinds are the first mammal found to produce different milk for sons and daughters, the present study examines whether there are also sex differences in milk mineral composition. Concentrations and yields of Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Fe, and Zn in milk of 46 red deer hinds were monitored through 18 weeks of lactation. Calf growth was influenced by Ca and P percent, and total Fe production. Milk for males had a lower content in Ca and P, a greater content of K, and Mg, whereas no sex effects were found in Na, Fe, or Zn percentages. Higher percentages in Ca and P for daughters might constitute a compensatory response, as daily production was not biased towards females in Ca or P, whereas in the latter and all the other minerals daily production was greater for heavier calves, which are usually males. In conclusion, milk mineral content and production influence calf growth even after controlling for other important lactation variables and nutrients, and they show effects and interactions more complicated than expected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/rep-09-0017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,5]],"date-time":"2009-08-05T21:09:49Z","timestamp":1249506589000},"page":"859-865","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Effect of milk minerals on calf gains and sex differences in mineral composition of milk from Iberian red deer (\n                    <i>Cervus elaphus hispanicus<\/i>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"138","author":[{"given":"L","family":"Gallego","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ciencia y Tecnolog\u00eda Agroforestal ETSIA 2Grupo de Recursos Cineg\u00e9ticos Instituto de Desarrollo Regional (IDR), Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 02071 Albacete, Spain 3Animal Science Tech.
