Abstract
Panda, A.K., Singh, R. and Pathak, N.N. 1995. Effect of dietary inclusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on growth performance of crossbred calves. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 7: 195–200. Effect of dietary inclusion of yeast cell suspension (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ITCCF 2094) on intake, growth performance and nutrient utilisation was evaluated in 12 one day old crossbred calves divided in two groups, control and experimental on the basis of body weight. All the calves were fed whole milk as per schedule up to 9 weeks, while calf starter and green berseem were offered ad libitum from 2nd week onwards till 13 weeks of age. The yeast cell suspension was fed to calves in the experimental group @ 5 x 109 cfu/hd/d. The average daily liveweight gain and CP digestibility were significantly higher (PKeywords
