Sažetak
The goal of the study was to determine how various milk substitute formulations impacted the conversion, mass, and growth of calves. 116 male Holstein calves were divided into control and experimental groups during a period of 59 days. The experimental group's calves were fed a milk substitute that contained bacteria. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at the end of the experiment, despite the control group's higher average body mass and average daily gain figures. The conversion of the milk substitute was lower in the experimental group. The cost of the total average growth of a male calf (EUR 51.8) of the Holstein-Friesian breed in the control group, is lower compared to the cost of a male calf (EUR 58.96) of the Holstein-Friesian breed in the experimental group.
