ABSTRACT

Eighteen crossbred Holstein finishing steers of 200±25kg weight and 9.5 to 10 months of age
were assigned randomly to one of the three groups having 6 animals in each those were supplied
with different rations at different levels of calcium long chain of fatty acids (Ca-LCFA) for 120 days
and the growth, feed conversion efficiency, dry matter intake and blood profile was studied. The
control group received 0 % of Ca-LCFA, 1st group 3 % and the 2nd group 6 % of CLCFA .The average
daily gains of control,1st and, 2nd groups were 1.083, 1.011 and 1.115kg, respectively and the fed
conversion efficiency were 5.340, 5.688 and 5.898 which showed no significant difference treatment
(P005).Average daily dry matter intake of entire period in different groups were 7.433, 7.467 and
7.565 which was also not significant (p0.05). The blood Hemoglobin, Glucose, CV and total
protein were also measured. The pcv of the 2nd group was significantly (P
