Abstract
The present study was conducted at Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, Ethics and Jurisprudence, PGIVAS, Akola, Livestock Instructional Farm, with an objective to study the comparative efficacy of the herbal rumen ecology modulator Ruchamax and AV/RMF/16 (supplied by Ayurvet Limited, Baddi, India) on rumen biochemical and growth related parameter in calves. Total twenty one healthy calves were selected randomly divided into three treatments (T1, T2 and T3) comprised of seven calves in each group (n=7). T1 served as control, T2 calves treated with AV/RMF/17@ 1.5 kg/ tone of feed for 45 days and T3 calves treated with Ruchamax @1 kg/ tone of feed for 45 days. The rumen biochemical, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio parameters were done on 0, 15, 30and 45 day of post treatment. It was observed that supplementation of polyherbal formulation significantly improved rumen liquor profile, physical properties of rumen liquor and rumen biochemical parameters. However, growth performance data revealed significantly better efficacy of AV/RMF/17 than Ruchamax.
