Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Effect of Feeding Complete Feed Block on Body Weight, Physiological Parameters and Muscle Score in Surti Buffalo Calves” was carried out from January, 2022 to April, 2022 on Surti Buffalo calves maintained at Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. For this experiment 16 Surti Buffalo calves aged more than three months were selected. Experimental animals were divided into 2 groups of 8 calves each of comparable age, sex and body weight. T1 group was offered conventional feed and T2 group was offered complete feed block. Animals in the both the groups were maintained under similar manage mental practices. Body weight of buffalo calves was observed fortnightly from initial to 90th day. Muscle score of buffalo calves was observed fortnightly from initial to 90th day of experiment.

Body weight of buffalo calves was observed fortnightly from initial to 90th day. Muscle score of buffalo calves was observed fortnightly from initial to 90th day of experiment.
Overall body length (87.32±1.38 vs. 86.06±1.23 cm), height at wither (92.78±1.05 vs. 90.05±0.92 cm), heart girth (108.67±1.68 vs. 104.71±4.34 cm), paunch girth (122.12±2.26 vs. 119.16±1.84 cm) and body weight (86.11±3.00 vs. 82.43±2.65 kg) was higher in T1 as compared to T2 group though it was not significant, however overall muscle score was higher in T2 as compared to T1 group (3.12±0.08 vs. 3.00±0.09) though it was not significant.
