The influence of feed supplements and birth season on the growth of calves

The aim of this study was to prove the hypotheses that the growth and health in calves are dependent on season of the birth. Total 186 calves were included in the experiment. All calves were weighed within two hours after birth. The growth and health were investigated from the birth to the fourth week of age. The effect of birth season was recorded in average daily gains (P<0.01). We concluded from the analysis, that the season of the birth had a positive influence on the growth increasing only.
