Forage Supplement “Saproprovit” in Diets for Calves

Abstract

It was determined that feeding calves of 2-4 months of age with mixed forages KP-2 containing 5% of provit or saprovit with different provit content didn’t lead to sufficient changes of live weight gain. But the best economic result was obtained in a group with saprovit and 50% of provit forage content, where weight gain was higher than with provit group at 5%. Implementation of Saprovit with 70 and 50 % let us decrease tha prime cost compared to provit, and feeding with them - let us raise effectiveness of usage.
