    EFFECT OF FEEDING NON-CONVENTIONAL CONCENTRATE MIXTURE ON GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION IN CROSSBRED CALVES
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2009) Pushpendra Singh Kshatriya; Dr. S.V. Shah
    A study was undertaken at Livestock Research Station (LRS), College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to ascertain the effect of feeding non-conventional concentrate mixture on the performance of crossbred calves (25% HF X 25% Jersey X 50% Kankrej and 50% HF x 50% Kankrej). They were randomly divided into three treatments and assigned to three dietary treatments (T1, T2 and T3) on age and body weight basis. In the first treatment (T1) the calves were given conventional concentrate mixture (Amul Dan) with 16-18% crude protein, in the second treatment (T2) Conventional commercial calf starter with 19-21% crude protein and in third treatment (T3) Non-conventional concentrate mixture (consisting of Karanj cake, Piludi cake, Tomato waste, Babool pod chuni, Rice polish and Guar bhardo) with 19-21% crude protein. In addition to the concentrate mixture green maize/jowar and mature pasture grass (chharodi hay) was also offered to the calves
