The present study was undertaken to evaluate the comparative studies on growth performance of indigenous calves fed with different concentrate mixture. Fifteen indigenous calves were selected and divided into three groups on the basis of nearness to age and body weight. Feeding trials were conducted with three treatments viz., T1 - Readymade concentrate (Sugras), T2 - homemade concentrate-I, T3 - homemade concentrate – II and in all the treatments dry fodder was fed ad. lib and quantity of green fodder + concentrate mixture was provided as per requirement of the basis of feeding standards. It was observed that the higher CP (19.28%) and EE (4.05%) in homemade concentrate-I while, homemade concentrate-II was higher in CF (12.24%) and NFE (60.49). The daily dry matter intake per 100 kg body weight of indigenous calves was higher in T2 followed T1 and T3 treatments. The highest total kg/day/head body weight gain of indigenous calves was observed in treatment T2 (0.392), followed by T3 (0.336) and lowest in treatment T1 (0.313). Same trends were noticed in respect to viz., height, length and chest girth of calves. The feeding cost/kg body weight gain was lowest in T2 followed by T3 and T1 treatment. It was concluded from the results that the feeding of homemade concentrates-I (Maize 30 % + GNC 20% + Wheat bran 28% + Turchuni 20% + Minerals mixture 1% + Common salt 1%) was economical for better growth performance of indigenous calves.Keywords

The present study on effect of different concentrates on growth performance of crossbred calves was conducted for period of 90 day. Fifteen crossbred calves were divided into three groups on the basis of nearness to the age and body weight. Three feeding treatment were studies namely T1 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) + Green fodder (Hybrid napier) + Readymade concentrate (Sugras) mixture, T2 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) + Green fodder (Hybrid napier) and Homemade concentrate-I mixture and T3 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) + Green fodder (Hybrid Napier) + Homemade concentrate-II, dry fodder, green fodder and concentrate quantities was calculated as per feeding standard and provided to the crossbred calves in all treatments. Daily DMI differed significantly between the treatments. The calves from T2 groups need more DM than that of T3, and T1 groups. The average daily intake was 2.32, 2.59 and 2.47 kg/day/calves in T1, T2 and T3 groups, respectively. Higher intake of DM per 100 kg body weight was noticed in treatment T2 and lowest in T1 and T3. All the crossbred calves exhibited satisfactory growth rate 324 to 456 (g) per day and differences were significant. The per kg of body weight gain was higher in T2 (0.456 g.) followed by T3 (0.431 g.) and T1 (0.324 g.) treatments.Keywords
