The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of chedu and mattha on growth performance of Murrah buffalo calves. To assess the effect of chedu and mattha on growth rate, 20 growing buffalo calves of around 1 year of age and approximately of same weights were selected and were divided into 4 treatment groups having 5 animals in each group. The animals had access to ad libitum berseem hay as the basal roughage T0 (Control), T1 (Administration of mattha @ 2% of body weight with salt @ 0.5% of mattha), T2 (Application of chedu on their body @ 150 g per animal), T3 (Administration of mattha and application of chedu). Body weight of all buffalo calves was recorded at 15 days interval during the experimental period. From 75th day of experiment, significant effect (P<0.05) was observed in body weight, heart girth and height at withers of treatment groups as compared to control group whereas, body length and paunch girth showed significant effect (P<0.05) on 90th day of experiment. The results further indicated that use of chedu and mattha improved the health status of the calves and helped to attain a comparatively higher body weight and an early puberty. It can be concluded on the basis of findings of present research work that the use of chedu and mattha may be recommended for supplementation of calves’ diet, as it improves the health status of the calves and helps in the attainment of higher body weight and an early onset of puberty in the calves.

Study was conducted to evaluate effect of supplementation different sources of bypass proteins on growth performance, haematological profile and economics of feeding in Murrah buffalo heifers. Eighteen heifers distributed into three equal groups and were offered similar basal control diet in T1, supplemented with commercial and natural bypass protein in two treatments groups T2 and T3 for a period 120 days in heifers respectively. Heifers were weight at monthly interval, simultaneously blood samples were collected. Body weight gain and average daily gain were significantly higher (Pis less than 0.01) in heifers supplemented with protected protein as compared to control. Count of red blood cells, white blood cells, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin concentration, showed no significant difference among different treatments. Daily feed cost were significantly (Pis less than 0.05) higher for both treatments groups but cost of feeding per unit body weight gain, were less in T2 and T3 treatments groups as compared to control T1.
