The objective of the present investigation was to study the effect of guar meal on the growth performance of Buffalo calves in 90 days experimental period. In the present investigation a total 11 buffalo calves for T₀ treatment 3 calves, T₁ treatment 4 calves and T₂ treatment 4 calves. The selected experimental buffalo calves were grouped in 3 groups viz; T₀ (Average age: 5 month and weight: 83.70 kg), T₁ (Average age: 6 month and weight: 84.11 kg) and T₂ (Average age: 5 month and weight: 83.18 kg), respectively. Treatment T₀ contain zero percent guar meal whereas T₁ and T₂ contains 10% and 20% guar meal respectively. Analysis carried out by Complete Randomized Design (Unequal Replications). The results showed that guar meal treatments were found statistically non-significant difference but numerically live body weight, body length, body height, chest girth and belly girth of buffalo calves were higher in treatment T₂ than treatment T₀ and T₁. Total weight gain of buffalo calves of treatments T₂ shows statistically significant difference over control treatments T₀. It was concluded that incorporation 20% guar meal in concentrate diet is economical without affecting the growth of the buffalo calves.
