Abstract:
Present investigation was conducted on sixteen Murrah buffalo calves of either sex with an average age of 3±1 months. These calves were divided into four groups (T₁, T₂, T₃ and T₄) having four calves in each group based on their average weight and age. On-farm trial of 10 days preliminary feeding with housing and 90 days experimental period was conducted between January 2017 to April 2017, on Buffalo Farm, COAS, LUVAS, Hisar. There was no significant difference recorded in other growth parameters (i.e. Body height, Body length, Heart girth, abdominal girth and Pin width) in between any treatment group. Haemato-biochemical examination showed no significant difference was recorded in any of the haemato-biochemical parameters (i.e. Hb, TEC, DLC, Serum urea, Serum lactate dehydrogenase, Serum Albumin: Globulin, Serum Ca and Phosphorous).
