Effects of three-way interactions among different PM (LPM vs. HPM) milk TS (12% vs. 17%) × age on BW (A), total DMI (B) and total ME intake (C) during the study. BW was greater (P = 0.03) for calves fed HPM-17% TS versus others from d 14 to 103 of age. TDMI (P = 0.003) and ME (P = 0.0001) were differed among all treatments during d 14 to 43 of age. Total DMI and ME intake were greater for LPM-12% and LPM-17% versus HPM-12% and HPM-17% during d 74 to 83 of age. Light gray period: gradual weaning (5L/d from d 70 to 76 of age); Dark gray period: gradual weaning (3L/d from d 77 to 83 of age). Weaning period for HPM included light and dark gray and for LPM included only dark gray. Error bars denoted SEM
