Nutritional and physiological studies on friesian calves fed protected fat and protein diets: 3. haematological parameters
Abstract: The current Work aimed to study the effect of feeding Friesian calves protected fat and protein diets on blood biochemical parameters using 18 newborn Friesian calves up to 8 months of age in 3 dietary treatment groups. The 1st group (C) was fed untreated concentrate feed mixture (CFM), the 2nd was fed the control diet in which 5% of CFM was replaced by protected fat (PF) and the 3rd was fed CFM treated with 1% formaldehyde (protected protein, PP). Results indicated that white and red blood cells counts increased in PF and PP than C group. Frequency distribution of lymphocytes increased (P<0.05) and monocytes decreased in PP than PF and C groups. However, granulocytes did not differ significantly among groups.
Concentration of hemoglobin and PCV % increased (P<0.05) in PF and PP than C group. .
