| Popis: | Highlights • The effects of dietary supplementation of three Bangladeshi traditional medicinal plants (TMP) were evaluated on growth performance, digestibility of nutrients, hematological indices, immune index and antioxidant status in post-weaned bull calves. • Feed supplementation with TMP enhanced health indices such as augmentation of monocyte, platelet percentage, IgG and lymphocyte proliferation whereas a reduction of IGF was recorded. • An elevated level of TNF-α, total antioxidant and glutathione peroxidase activities were found in calves treated with medicinal herbs. Traditional medicinal plants (TMP) are considered valuable alternatives to hazardous synthetic chemical utilized as animal growth promoters. This study aimed to evaluate effects of dietary supplementation of seed and leaf powder (75:25) of three Bangladeshi TMP viz. Emblica officinalis Gaertn., Terminalia bellirica Gaertn. Roxb., and Terminalia chebula Retz. on growth performance, digestibility of nutrients, hematological indices, immune index and antioxidant status in post-weaned bull calves. Dietary treatments: TMP1 (basal diet = green grass + concentrate), TMP2 (basal diet + 0.5% mixture of seed and leaf (75:25) of E. officinalis Gaertn.), TMP3 (basal diet + 0.5% mixture of seed and leaf (75:25) of T. bellirica Gaertn. Roxb.), and TMP4 (basal diet + 0.5% mixture of seed and leaf (75:25) of T. chebula Retz.). Supplementation of TMP significantly (p |
