Experiment was designed to improve the utilization of soybean straw by simple physical mixing
of jowar straw with soybean straw. Nine H.F.X Deoni cross bred interse calves of 6 to 12 months of
age were selected. Three calves under each treatment were allotted with similar weight and age
forming three groups. The control group was fed with jowar straw adlib + concentrate (T0) and the
group with jowar straw 50 % and soybean straw 50 % + concentrate was designated as treatment
T1 and T2 having 100 % soybean straw + concentrate as per requirement. Total experimental period
was of 105 days in switch over design with a period of 35 days per period. The digestibility of dry
matter in cross-bred calves under treatment T1 (56.77%) was significantly (P
