Abstract

Six male and 10 female Mariana calves (7-9 m; 50-70 kg) were fed 750 g Farex Waste Powder (FWP), 5-7 kg green oat, OJS-1.0 kg wheat straw and appropriate amountof mineral mixture for 13 wks. The average growth rates in male and female calves were 390.11+10.52 and 326.37±330 g/d respectively. The nutritive value of FWP determined by method of difference was: DCP 11.52%, TDN 7737% NR 1:5.72, DE 3.41 Mcal/kg, ME 2.80 Mcal/kg on DM basis. The results indicated that the FWP could be used in the feeding of growing Harlana calves
