Abstract
A growth experiment of 14 weeks (98 days) duration was carried out on
twelve cross-bred calves to study the effect of feeding TMR with or without fibrolytic
enzymes. The two treatments were T1 (Control): concentrate mixture (60%) + wheat
straw (40%) and T2 (Treatment): concentrate mixture (60%) + wheat straw (40%)
with fibrolytic enzymes @ 0.025%. Completely randomized design was followed. The
growing cross-bred calves were fed as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards to meet
nutrient requirement in terms of DM, DCP and TDN.
