ABSTRACT

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 (P<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 (P<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.
