Influence of selected feed supplements on the growth and health of calves depending on the sex, season of birth, and number of the dam's lactation

Original language description

The aim of the study was to prove the hypothesis that the growth and health of calves are dependent on feed supplements with an antidiarrhoeic effect, in relation to sex, season of birth, and number of the dam's lactation. A total of 186 calves were included in the experiment. After birth the calves were divided into three treatment groups: Ascophyllum nodosum (brown seaweed hydrolyzate, prebiotics), Lactobacillus sporogenes (probiotics), and the control group. All cales were weighed within two hours after birth. The growth and health were investigated from the birth to fourth week of age. Compared to the control, a significant effect of applied feed supplements was found in the Lactobacillus sporogenes group in the body weight at 28 days of life (P less than 0.001) and the average daily gains (P less than 0.001). Differences between sexes were found in the body weight at birth (P less than 0.001) and in the body weight at 28 days of life (P less than 0.01). The effect of the season of
