| Popis: | The study was undertaken to assess the nutrient changes occurring during the growth of hydroponic fodder maize (HFM) and effect of feeding HFM on blood biochemical and haematological parameters in cross bred calves. Representative samples of HFM were taken on each day of germination and were oven dried and subjected to chemical analysis. Results showed that crude protein (CP), total ash (TA), ether extract (EE), crude fiber(CF) and acid insoluble ash increased whereas nitrogen free extract(NFE) decreased (p0.05) among the groups. It can be concluded that HFM is more nutritious than conventional fodder maize and calf starter can be replaced with HFM on dry matter basis at 75 percent level without any adverse effect on the haemato-b |
