Abstract
A growth experiment of 168 days (24 weeks) duration was carried out on twenty
four buffalo heifer calves to study the comparative effect of feeding compound
concentrate mixture with bypass protein or without bypass protein. The two treatments
were T1: control concentrate mixture without bypass protein and T2: concentrate mixture
with bypass protein in which formaldehyde treated guar bhardo, groundnut extraction
and rapeseed extraction were used as sources of by pass protein. Individual completely
randomized design was followed. The growing buffalo heifer calves were fed as per
ICAR (1998) feeding standards to meet nutrient requirement in terms of DM, DCP and
TDN. Two kg of green grass was provided daily to all the calves to meet vitamin A
requirement.
