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.
