Abstract
ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out in the Department of Animal Husbandry and
Dairying, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, comprising duration of 90 days.
Soybean straw was treated with urea at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 per cent level and covered with
tarpoline, kept under shed for 28 days for incubation under anaerobic condition to allow for
chemical reaction. The selected 20 calves were divided in four groups on the basis of
nearness in BW and age, thereby each group comprised of five calves. Further, one calf
from each group was allocated randomly to each treatment, namely untreated SBS (T1), 1.0
% urea treated SBS (T2), 1.5 % urea treated SBS (T3) and 2.0 % urea treated SBS (T4). As a
result, each treatment was replicated on five calves. It was found that, rate of increasing
serum total lipids it appears that feeding of urea treated SBS was advantageous than that of
untreated SBS. Thus in general, it appears that feeding of urea ammoniated SBS to calves
had no adverse effect on haemo-biochemical blood profile.
Key words: Untreated soybean straw, Treated soybean straw, Concentrate, Hybrid Napier,
Blood parameters.
