Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Effect of Feeding Complete Feed Block on Blood Bio-chemical Profiles in calves Surti Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)” was carried out from January to April 2022 on Surti Buffalo calves maintained at Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. For this experiment 16 Surti Buffalo calves aged more than three months were selected. Experimental animals were divided into 2 groups of 8 calves each of comparable age, sex and body weight. T1 group was offered conventional feed and T2 group offered complete feed block. Animals in both the groups were maintained under similar manage mental practices. Blood sample was collected from experimental animals on initial day and 90th day of experiment for estimation of serum biochemical profile. Such as Blood Glucose, Total Protein, Cholesterol and Blood Urea Nitrogen by commercial standard diagnostic kits on initial day and 90th day.
Overall Blood Glucose (92.81±1.34 mg/dl) (p<0.01) and Blood Glucose at 90th day (p<0.05) were significantly higher in complete feed block fed group (T2) as compared to T1 group (84.65±1.39 mg/dl). Overall Cholesterol level in calves was higher in T2 (149.03±4.61 mg/dl) as compared to T1 group (138.22±13.77 mg/dl) although the difference was not significant. Overall Total Protein level in calves was higher in T2 (9.42±0.99 gm/dl) as compared to T1 group (8.62±0.67 gm/dl) though the difference was not significant. Overall Blood Urea Nitrogen level in calves was higher in T2 (19.55±1.39 mg/dl) as compared to T1 group (17.86±1.42 mg/dl) though the difference was not significant.
