: In this study searched the effect on performance parameters that use of
probiotic and humate as feed additives in the feeding in sucking period of calves.
In the experiment, 24 -day-old Brown Swiss calves were used as part of the
experiment, they were divide into 3 different groups as control (basal diet: full fat
milk+alfalfa dry grass+calf stater concentrate feed), probiotic (basal diet+0,15%
probiotic) and humate (basal diet+0.15% humate) which including 8 calves each
with the average weight of 42,5 kg (±2.5kg). As feedstuff, full fat milk, alfalfa dry
grass, humate and probiotic with additives concentrated feed were used. The study
continued for 12 weeks. While humate group decreased dry matter (DM)
consumption of concentrate feed and alfalfa hay, it increased milk DM intake (0–56
days) (p<0.01). Also probiotics group decreased DM consumptions of milk and
concentrat feed (p<0.01). Humate group significantly improved the feed efficiency
compared with the control and probiotic groups. There were no effects of both humat
and probiotic groups on live weight gains. As a result of this study, the effect of the
humate group has found to be higher than the probiotic group on the performance
parameters.
