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 151 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 3~ 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<O.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<O.05) in PF and PP than C group. | ||
