Abstract:
The experiment was conducted on effect of different feed combination on growth performance of Deoni heifer calves. The research was conducted by Randomized block design with four treatments: T₁- Dry fodder (jowar Kadbi) + Green fodder (jowar multicut) + concentrate mixture-I, T₂ -Dry fodder (jowar Kadbi) + Green fodder (jowar multicut) + concentrate mixture-II, T₃ -Dry fodder (jowar Kadbi) + Green fodder (jowar multicut) + concentrate mixture-III, T₄ -Dry fodder (jowar Kadbi) + Green fodder (jowar multicut) + concentrate mixture-IV. The all Deoni calves exhibited satisfactory growth rate and difference were significant. The per Kg body weight was higher in T₂ treatment. Body measurement (chest girth, length, height, belly girth) was also higher in T₂ treatment. The treatment T₂ demonstrated a better and desirable result than the treatments T₁, T₃ and T₄.
