Effect of flavomycin on the performance and blood constituents of friesian and buffalo calves

ABSTRACT

Flavomycin was given to male buffalo and Friesian calves [20 mg/animal/day] during the fattening period to show its effect on the performance and blood constituents. The obtained data revealed slight increase in the total gain with shortening of the fattening period in the treated animals. Hemoglobin, SGOT, SGPT, total lipids and cholesterol values showed nonsignificant changes. Significant elevation in the total protein, alpha and delta globulins as well as in T3 were recorded
