| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation was undertaken at ICAR-NDRI, Karnal, to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus on growth performance and health status of Murrah buffalo calves. The forty Murrah buffalo calves were divided into four groups viz., T1, T2, T3, and T4. T1 were fed according to ICAR, 2013 feeding standard. T2, T3 & T4 were fed according to T1 except Lactobacillus plantarum CRD 2, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRD 9 and Lactobacillus plantarum CRD 2 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRD 9 [1:1 Ratio] 108 cfu/ml (As a fermented milk @ 100 ml/calf/day) respectively. The overall mean of dry matter intake (g/d) was significantly higher in T4 and lower in T1. The overall mean of body weight (kg) was significantly highest in T4 than T1. The overall average daily gain (g/d) was significantly higher in T4 and lowest in T1. The overall mean of body length and heart girth was significantly higher in T4. At 30th day’s digestibility coefficient of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, ether extract was significantly higher in all the supplemented groups as compared to control. At 120th days the ether extract intake (g/d) was significantly higher in T4 than T1, T2 and T3. The overall average values of total protein and total albumin was significantly higher in T4 lower in T1. The TAC (mmolL-1) was significantly higher in all the supplemented groups as compared to T1. The SOD (U/ml) was significantly lower in all the supplemented groups. The total plasma immunoglobulin G (mg/ml) was significantly higher in T4 as compared to T1. GHS of supplemented calves was significantly improved. The faecal Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium count was significantly higher and significant reduction in the faecal E. coli, Coliform, Clostridia and Styphylococcus aureus count in all supplemented groups. Supplemented group have less number of diarrheic days. | |
